Description of Proposal: See application CPA-2025-0002 submitted for re-designation of 7 parcels owned by the applicant in the associated documents below. The applicant’s proposal would change the Comprehensive Plan Map Designation of the 7 subject parcels from Low Density Residential-2 (LDR-2) designation to Medium Density Residential (MDR) designation. There are 14 total parcels within Sumner’s Southeast Urban Growth Area (SE UGA), the City’s Alternative 1 proposal amends the Comprehensive Plan map designation from the current LDR-2 to MDR designation for 10 parcels and amends the Comprehensive Plan map designation from the current LDR-2 to Interchange Commercial (IC) designation for 4 parcels (adjacent to existing IC zone). This is an alternative that would create more consistent designations across the SE UGA compared to the private amendment application (CPA-2025-0002) that would re-designate a few of the parcels under common ownership by Orton Apartments LLC.
