Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from GC-MD/HC (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling/Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling/Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District FILE: 2063-Z STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval. Kevin Herrington, representing Altus Healthcare Management Services and Altus Beaumont Realty, LP, has applied for a zone change from GC-MD/HC (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling/Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District. The properties are located at 2678 Liberty and the lot immediately to the west of 2678 Liberty. Altus Healthcare Management Services has plans to expand its existing th facility at 390 N. 11. Altus will be adding a new cancer center. The two lots will be used for building and parking expansion. The Historic District regulations, Sec. 30-21.2 require that off-street parking be set back along street frontages not less than the required yard setbacks or as far back as the front of immediately adjacent buildings, whichever is greater. The house to the east appears to be approximately 30 feet from the front property line. Therefore, the parking lot would have to be setback at least 30 feet. Mr. Herrington says that setback would require the loss of approximately six parking spaces. At the meeting of November 8, 2010, the Historic Landmark Commission approved the moving of the house at 2678 Liberty and the removal of the two lots out of the Oaks Historic District. While not required by ordinance, Mr. Herrington stated that an 8' tall wood screening fence will be constructed along the east property line of the parking lot and adjacent to a single family residence.
