DATE: June 20, 2005
TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family
Dwelling-Highest Density) District.
FILE: 1789-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Rosetta Jones, Executive Director of Statewide Consolidated CDC, Inc.,
is requesting this zone change so that they can build a 14 unit
housing complex for persons with disabilities adjacent to the subject
property. The subject property is located at 1125 E. Lucas. The
housing complex will be to the east of the subject property at 1005 E.
Lucas.
In April, 2004, City Council approved a zone change to RM-H for the
south 236' of 1005 E. Lucas to allow the housing complex. Ms.
Jones states that plans were then drawn for the housing complex.
Because that property is adjacent to RS zoning on the east and west
sides, an 8' tall wood screening fence and a 10' wide landscape strip
would be required. The plans, as drawn, do not accommodate the
10' wide landscape strip.
At this time, Ms. Jones is requesting this zone change for the south
236' of the subject property so that the housing complex can be built
without having to install the landscape strip along the west property
line of 1005 E. Lucas. Eventual plans include building a similar
housing complex for the disabled on the subject property, as well.
Exhibits are attached.
