STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends approval.
Jeff Williams is requesting a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling)
to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District to correct the split
zoning of a property located at 5945 College Street.
Mr. Williams represents Blanche Investments, Inc. for the property most of us recognize
as Games People Play, consisting of a practice range and golf retail shop. While the shop
and practice tees are located in the GC-MD portion of the property, more than half of the
range is located in an RS 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.
