DATE: October 17, 2016
TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow an office and parking in
GC-MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling District - 2) zoning.

STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval of the request.
In August of this year, Mr. Wilson applied for and was awarded a rezoning of his
property from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling District) zoning to GC-MD-2
(General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling District - 2). GC-MD-2 zoning
requires a Specific Use Permit, therefore, Mr. Wilson has submitted a request to use the
existing house on the property as a commercial office for his restaurant. He would like
to use the rear of the property for restaurant and office staff parking. An eight (8) foot
wood privacy fence has been installed along the north property line, but Mr. Wilson is
requesting a waiver to the landscaped buffer along this north side.
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.
