TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from LI (Light Industrial)
District to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling) District or more restrictive district
FILE: 2087-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Arturo Rabago, representing Spanish United Pentecostal Church, has
applied for a zone change from LI (Light Industrial) District to GC-MD
(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or more
restrictive district. The property is located at 2623 Hoover.
The church has plans to expand its existing facility with a 4,000 sq. ft.
building and additional parking. Since the property is zoned LI, a
specific use permit is required for any expansion. Because the church
has additional room for growth, it is wishing to rezone the property to
GC-MD so that there will be no need for a specific use permit.
The neighborhood is a mix of land uses and zoning. Residential and
vacant land zoned RS is to the north of the subject property. To the
east is industrial and vacant property zoned LI and HI. To the west
is a mix of railroad tracks, commercial, residential and vacant uses
zoned GC-MD and RS. To the south are railroad tracks and vacant
properties zoned LI.
The Planning Manager feels that the zone change is reasonable because
the church=s plans for expansion would be an asset to the community
and would not negatively affect the surrounding neighborhood if no
specific use permit was required.
