REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of GC-MD-2 (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District.
Thomas Cantue, the property owner, is requesting a zone change from
RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or more restrictive
district for the rear 267.42' of the property located at 2748-2750
E. Lucas.
The south 150' of the property is zoned GC-MD. In November,
2005, Mr. Cantue stated that he wanted to construct a meeting hall
on his property. In addition, he was considering constructing some
apartments at the rear of the property, if any land was left over. At
the November meeting, Mr. Cantue was not sure how much of his
property would be needed for the meeting hall.
Mr. Cantue has now completed plans for the proposed meeting hall
and has found that his entire 0.99 acres will be needed to construct
the facility. He no longer has any desire for the apartments.
The Planning Manager thinks that GC-MD-2 and a specific use permit
would provide the Planning Commission and City Council the
opportunity to place reasonable conditions upon the property. Future
uses, other than what Mr. Cantue will be using the property for,
might have a negative effect upon surrounding properties. The
Planning Commission and City Council may wish to counter any
negative effects with GC-MD-2 zoning and a specific use permit. The
Planning Manager has spoken with Mr. Cantue about the options.
Exhibits are attached.
