TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District to RS (Residential
Single Family Dwelling) and from GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District to LI (Light
Industrial) District or more restrictive district
FILE: 2130-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
In April, 2012, Philip Spence, representing Spence Machine, applied
for a zone change from GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling) District to LI (Light Industrial) District. Mr. Spence stated
that he would like to expand his existing business by purchasing and
moving into the building on the subject property. He said that the
building has 480/3 phase power, and an overhead bridge crane. Mr.
Spence felt that this property would be a very good location for his
business and with the expansion he should be able to provide full time
employment for additional employees.
At the April meeting, the Planning Manager recommended denial
based upon that fact that he felt the zone change constituted spot
zoning. After discussion with the Planning Commission, staff
suggested that a zoning study of the area be done.
A zoning study was done for the area surrounded by Fannin to the
north, San Jacinto to the east, Central Park to the west and Franklin
to the south. Based upon that study, staff recommends that the
following addresses be rezoned to LI: Odd # addresses from 605-803
th
S. 4 St. and the even # addresses from 810-830 San Jacinto St.
The majority of these properties are light industrial in nature.
The rezoning of these properties leaves a small pocket of five homes in
the 700 Block of San Jacinto still zoned GC-MD, thus creating a spot
zoning situation. Therefore, staff recommends that the even
numbered addresses from 720-798 San Jacinto be rezoned to RS.
