after the Dowling Neighborhood Zoning Study was approved by the City Council on April 25,2000.
A total of 89.61 acres was involved in the study area. In addition, the City rezoned the old Dick
Dowling Jr. High School site on October 10,2000, from GC-MD to RS for residential development.
The subject property is in a residential area across the street from a large church.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
None.
PREVIOUS ACTION
At a joint Public Hearing with City Council held January 17, 2001, the Planning Commission voted
5-0 to approve the zone change from GC-MD to RS for the property at 1102 North Street at Forrest
Street.
