DATE: January 26,2004
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for a rehearing prior to the expiration of the 12 month waiting period as per
Article V, Section 8 (2) of the Planning Commission Bylaws.
b
Landry Rountree, owner of Landry's 24-Hour Towing, is requesting a rehearing prior to the
expiration of the 12 month waiting period.
In April, 2002, Mr. Rountree requested a zone change to GC -MD (General Commercial -
Multiple Family Dwelling) District and a specific use permit to allow a vehicle towing and
storage facility at 1575 S. Major Drive. The City Council approved a zone change to GC-MD-2
and denied the specific use permit.
In July, 2003, Mr. Rountree requested a zone change to GC -MD. He wanted to operate his
vehicle towing and storage facility and limit the number of cars to be stored at 10. That request
for a zone change was denied.
Mr. Rountree is now requesting that the one year waiting period be waived to that he can apply
for a specific use permit for a vehicle towing and storage facility under the current GC-MD-2
zoning.
Article V, Section 8 (2) of the Planning Commission Bylaws allows the Planning Commission
to consider a request for a waiver of the 12 month waiting period subject to the applicant
providing a written request with pertinent facts which the Planning Commission deem
sufficient to warrant a new hearing.
An exhibit is attached.

Dear Planning Commision,
In July of this year, I applied for a zoning change from GC-MD-2 to
GC -MD to operate my towing company office and storage facility at 1575
South Major. This zoning would have allowed a towing company office and
storage facility by right of the GC -MD zoning. I also had strong
neighborhood support. The Planning Commision and City Council denied
my request for this specific zoning change. I an-i writing this letter
requesting that the one year waiting period be waived so that under the
presfrnt zoning I can apply for a specific use permit for a office and storage
facility that allows no more than ten wrecked or disabled vehicles to be
stored.
Sincerely,
Landry Rountree
