Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) District to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District FILE: 1964-Z STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval. In June, 2007, Pastor Rosie Jones of the Kingdom Connection Outreach Ministry, requested a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) District and a specific use permit to allow a church-related food bank, clothing distribution center, food service and related social services for the properties at 145 E. Alma and 3280 Shannon. Pastor Jones represented herself as the property owner of those properties (she does own 145 E. Alma). On August 28, 2008, the Planning Division received a call from Laurie Armstrong, the real property owner of 3280 Shannon, stating that she was trying to sell the property as residential and found out through the FHA that her property was zoned NC. The FHA representative told her that the FHA did not finance commercial properties. Upon talking with Ms. Armstrong and Pastor Jones, it appears that Pastor Jones had attempted to purchase 3280 Shannon but the deal was never consummated. As soon as Ms. Armstrong informed the Planning Division that she was still the current owner and wanted the zoning of the property to be RS, the Planning Division initiated the zone change.
