Prezone No. 93.001 (proposed Annexation No. 1990-06) Is proposed to bring the project area Into conformance with the City's recently adopted Unified Development Code (UDC), which became effective on December 24,1992. The project area consists of approximately 210 acres of Inhabited land located adjacent to and outside the City limits, west of Haskell Canyon Road and south of Copperhill Drive (see attached map). Prezone No. 93-001 will change the prezone designations to the recently adopted designations of RL (Residential Low) and RM (Residential Moderate). Although the zoning terminology Is different, standards within the existing and proposed zones are substantially consistent and, therefore, will not detrimentally affect land uses In the area.
