TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family
Dwelling-Highest Density) District or more restrictive district
FILE: 2146-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial.
Louis Salazar, the property owner, has applied for a zone change from
RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to RM-H (Residential
Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District or more restrictive
district. The property is located at 1703 Franklin.
Mr. Salazar states that the reason for the rezoning is to enable him to
build an apartment complex on the subject property. The property is
currently occupied by a large older house and accessory building. The
house and garage look to house multiple living units. Entergy states
that there are two residential meters serving the property.
The 1999 Avenues/College Street Area Plan designates the subject
property and properties to the north, east and west for low density
residential uses. In 2000, the Planning Division conducted a zoning
study with the intent of implementing that portion of the plan which
recommends rezoning parts of the neighborhood in an effort to
revitalize the entire neighborhood while protecting and stabilizing the
existing single family residential neighborhoods. The preservation of
the existing single family neighborhoods was one of the major
objectives of the plan.
