TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for zone change from RM-H (Residential
Multiple Family Dwelling -Highest Density) District to GC-MD
(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or a
more restrictive district.
FILE: 1845-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request.
Kathleen Clinkscales is requesting a zone change from RM-H
(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling- Highest Density) District to
GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District. The
property is located at 3404 W. Euclid.
Ms. Clinkscales states that she owns the adjacent lot north of the
subject property. That property is zoned GC-MD. She would like to
rezone the subject property so that she can build and operate a
membership organization on both properties. The business would be a
reception hall for events. She states that alcoholic beverages will not
be sold.
This zone change would allow commercial encroachment into a
residential neighborhood. In 2003, City Council approved a specific
use permit allowing a beauty/barber shop at 3440 W. Euclid (Lot 21,
Block 2). Except for this beauty/barber shop, the areas to the east,
west and south of the subject property are residential in nature.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a A Stable Area @. As
such, the area should be free of blighting influences such as
incompatible land uses. The zone change would allow for
incompatible land uses that would negatively impact the neighborhood.
Exhibits are attached.
