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.
