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-2 (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District
FILE: 1987-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial.
Dr. Taher Quaishi has applied for a zone change from RS (Residential
Single Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD-2 (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District. The property is
located at 2345 Wellington Place. Dr. Quaishi states builders do not
want to construct homes next to GC-MD-2 zoning.
In 1997, the subject property was rezoned from RS and RM-H
(Residential Multiple Family-High Density) District to NC
(Neighborhood Commercial) District. In 2003, City Council denied a
zone change to GC-MD-2 and a specific use permit to allow over
21,000 sq. ft. of office and retail on 2.1 acres that included a portion
of the subject property. In 2004, the property was rezoned to RS
and GC-MD-2. The RS portion of the property fronts on Wellington
Place and the GC-MD-2 portion fronts on Dowlen. In that same
year, a specific use permit was approved for approximately 18,000
sq. ft. of office space within the GC-MD-2 portion.
It is now the desire of Dr. Quraisha to rezone that 1.93 acres that
fronts on Wellington Place to GC-MD-2. Past concerns over
commercial development backing up to Wellington Place include
additional traffic on Wellington Place and flooding.
At this time, Dr. Quraisha has no definite plans for the subject
property.
Exhibits are attached.
