FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family
Dwelling-High Density) District or more restrictive district
FILE: 1952-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Vera Bagneris has applied for a zone change from RS (Residential
Single Family Dwelling) District to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family
Dwelling-Highest Density) District or more restrictive district. The
property is located at 2990 S. Major.
Ms. Bagneris states that she is in the process of purchasing this
property to allow for a small assisted living facility for the elderly in
an existing residential structure. Maximum capacity would be 6
residents. She states that the reason for the zone change to RM-H is
to allow for a small sign in front of the property to attract clients.
Ms. Bagneris says that the sign will be 6' tall and 32 sq. ft. in area.
This type of facility is permitted by right in an RM-H District.
The property is presently occupied by a residential structure
approximately 3,220 sq. ft. in area, two accessory buildings and a
large paved parking area. Upon inspection of the property, it
appears that in the past, the rear of the house was used for
commercial purposes. The door is labeled A office @ and the side and
rear yards are paved.
In May, 2006, City Council approved a zone change from RS to
RM-H for 8.23 acres approximately 1,000 feet south of the subject
property. In June, 2006, City Council approved a specific use permit
to allow an insurance agency at 3336 S. Major. Across Major from
the subject property is RM-H zoning.
Exhibits are attached.
