TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a rezoning study of property located at the intersection of
East Lucas Drive and Helbig Road
FILE: 2331 – Z
___
STAFF REPORT
In July of 2017, Eco-Site applied to rezone the property at 5250 Helbig from NC
(Neighborhood Commercial) to GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family
Dwelling). Staff recommended denial due to the concern that rezoning this small area
to GC-MD could constitute "Spot Zoning." The Planning Commission voted 5:3 to deny
the request. At the September meeting of City Council, approval of the ordinance was
unanimously denied. In October Eco-Site requested a reconsideration for rezoning, but
withdrew the request. Staff suggested seeking approval from neighbors to the south and
resubmitting a request for rezoning a larger area, adjacent to existing GC-MD zoning.
Staff chose, instead, to conduct a rezoning study to determine what should be rezoned.
Eco-Site has provided information from the apartment complex to be rezoned stating that
they are in favor of the request.
Planning staff recommends approval of the entire study area to GC-MD or a more
restrictive zoning district.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of
submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
