TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for a zone change from NC (Neighborhood Commercial)
to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) and GC-MD-2
(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District.
FILE: 1732-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Fittz & Shipman, Inc., the applicant, has been retained to make
application for two zone change requests for a 3.374 acres tract of
land adjacent to the Gulf Employees Credit Union on Dowlen Road.
These requests will provide 1.93 acres of RS zoning along Wellington
Place and 1.44 acres of GC-MD-2 zoning with frontage on Dowlen
Road. Six residential lots are proposed in the RS zoning. While no
specific permit is being submitted at this time, a layout for a proposed
business office park on the GC-MD-2 acreage has been included with
the application. Before development of that portion of the property,
a specific use permit must be approved.
In 2003, the City Council denied a request for a zone change and a
specific use permit to allow over 21,000 sq. ft. of office/retail on
2.1 acres. That request included part of the subject tract.
Exhibits are attached.
