SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single

STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Alfred Briscoe, the property owner, is requesting a zone change from
RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to NC (Neighborhood
Commercial) District for his property located at 1695 Milam.
Mr. Briscoe states that he and his wife are renovating this residential
structure for use as their home. However, they would now like to
explore possible business ventures for the property, as well. One of
their ideas for the house is to use it for occasional weddings and
receptions. Mrs. Briscoe is a professional chef and would like to do
some catering.
The house is very large and will be expensive to maintain. The
Briscoes are hoping that to be able to bring in some cash flow will
enable them to maintain this historic home. The majority of this
block is zoned NC.
Exhibits are attached.
