FILE: 2275-P ___ 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.
