DATE: April 18, 2005
TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for a zone change to remove an HC (Historic Cultural
Landmark Preservation) Overlay District
FILE: 1773-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Lindow, the property owners, are requesting the
removal of their property at 2693 Broadway out of the Oaks Historic
District. The subject property is occupied by a house that is attached
to a large metal building. The property is zoned GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District and has been used for
commercial purposes for a number of years.
In 2003, Mr. and Mrs. Lindow requested a certificate of
appropriateness to allow the removal of the house. Contrary to the
recommendation of the Planning Manager, that request was denied by
the Historic Landmark Commission. The Lindows state that for the
past three years they have tried, without success, to sell, lease or rent
this property.
The properties to the west, north and south are commercial and are
outside the Historic District. The Planning Manager does not feel that
the removal of this property would be detrimental to the Historic
District.
Exhibits are attached.
