Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for zone change from RCR (Residential Conservation and Revitalization) District to LI (Light Industrial) District FILE: 2057-Z NOTE: This item was tabled at the October 18, 2010 meeting. STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval. Gaile Henry, representing Beaumont Iron and Metal Corporation, has applied for a zone change from RCR (Residential Conservation and Revitalization) District to LI (Light Industrial) District. The property is located on the south side of Hollywood, approximately 890' east of Canal St. In June, 2001, City Council approved a number of zoning changes as part of the Hollywood Area Zoning Study. The reason for this study was to assist in the revitalization of the Hollywood Avenue area and to make the zoning reflect existing land uses. Before then, most of the property was zoned HI (Heavy Industrial). The property immediately to the west of the subject property is zoned LI. It is owned by Beaumont Iron and Metal. They use that property for the storage of containers and trailers and employee parking. It is their intent to use the subject property for the same purpose. Mr. Henry states that no scrap processing or storage will be done on the subject property. The property must be screened with a minimum 8' tall opaque screening fence and a 10' wide landscape strip along the east and south sides of the property. In addition, a 6' wide landscape strip will be required along the property=s frontage on Hollywood. th Just prior to the October 18 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Manager received a petition with 88 signatures protesting the zone change. Based upon that information, the applicant asked for a one month tabling of the request. The Planning Manager reviewed the petition to see how many protestors were within 200 feet of the subject property. Only one of those who signed the petition is within 200 feet and one other lives within the neighborhood but outside the 200 feet. The rest of the 88 in opposition live in other parts of the city.
