TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: To consider a request for a rezoning from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to
RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density).

STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval of the request.
Alfredo Francisco would like to rezone the property at 1695 Franklin Street to RM-H
(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density) District. The property is currently
zoned NC (Neighborhood Commercial). Although the property is zoned commercial, a new
house was recently constructed on the property. The zoning ordinance states, "The limitations
on nonconforming uses in section 28.04.005(c), shall not apply to any residential use existing at
the time of the adoption of this chapter."
The NC zoning of the property is now creating issues for the property owner as the setback
requirements are more restrictive than in a residential zoning district. Rezoning the property
will allow the property owner to construct a new storage building and meet setback
requirements.
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.
