STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval of the request.
Wesley Doucet is requesting the rezoning of his property located at 7535 Highway 105.
This property is the first residentially zoned lot on the south side of Highway 105, west of
Major Drive. Although the property currently contains a house, Mr. Doucet would like to
be able to market the property for commercial uses.
Given the surrounding zoning pattern, land use and the proximity to the intersection of
Highway 105 and Major Drive, the proposed zoning would be compatible.
All utilities necessary for a business are present. Property to the north, south and east is
zoned GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) District.
Exhibits are attached.
