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 GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or more
restrictive district
FILE: 2156-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of a zone change to
GC-MD for the south 40' of the subject property and GC-MD-2 for
the north 210' of the subject property.
David Morrow, the property owner, has requested a zone change from
RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or more restrictive
district. The property is located at 2550 E. Lucas Drive.
Mr. Morrow states that the property was the location of 3L Printing
for thirty plus years. He purchased the family-owned property in
2009 when 3L Printing went out of business. He says that he
currently runs a screen printing business from the existing 5,000 sq.
ft. building. The south 150' of the property is zoned GC-MD. The
north 250' of the property is zoned RS. However, approximately
33' of the north end of the building falls within the RS zoning.
Mr. Morrow says that he currently has no plans for the remainder of
the property but does hope to expand his business into
athletic/business uniforms as well as embroidery production. Any
expansion within the foreseeable future will be contained within the
existing building.
In 1987, the north 250' of the property immediately to the west of
the subject property was zoned GC-MD and granted a specific use
permit for a funeral home. Between 2007 and 2012, three
property owners have requested zone changes from RS to GC-MD
along E. Lucas. Two of the requests were approved for GC-MD-2
and the third was for GC-MD. The reason for the rezoning of the
two cases to GC-MD-2 was of concerns over what kind of impact
GC-MD zoning would have on surrounding residentially zoned
properties. In this instance, properties to the north and east are
zoned RS. Since the applicant has no plans, at this time, for the
development of the remainder of the property, the Planning Manager
feels that GC-MD-2 would provide the necessary protection a specific
use permit would provide. The Planning Manager has discussed this
with the applicant and he understands the procedures that would be
necessary to develop the rest of the property.
