HomeMy WebLinkAbout1864-Z DATE: March 19, 2007 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 NC (Neighborhood Commercial) District or more restrictive district. FILE: 1864-Z STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request. Patricia Lanier, power-of-attorney for her father Herbert York, is requesting a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) District or more restrictive district for the property located at 3185 Highland. Ms. Lanier states that the property has been used for commercial for the past 60 years. She says that it has been used in many capacities over the years from an auto parts store to a warehouse to, most recently, a church. After Hurricane Rita, the family had approximately $40,000 worth of repairs done to the structure to bring it up to code. Ms. Lanier states that she would like to rent the building out as a barbershop. However, the potential tenant was told by the City that the property was zoned RS and since the building had been vacant for a year or more, the use of the property must conform to the current zoning or they must ask for a rezoning. Approximately 65' to the north of the subject property is GC-MD zoning. To the southeast is NC zoning. Exhibits are attached. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 30 .
