SUBJECT: Request for a zone change from RCR (Residential Conservation and Revitalization)
District to GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) District
FILE: 1669-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Mike Aref, the property owner, is requesting this zone change so that he can use the property
at 2705 Concord for commercial uses.
The subject property is the site of a vacant convenience store. The City water records show that
water was cut off in October, 2002. Mr, Aref states that the area is commercial in character.
Both sides of Concord Road are zoned RCR from St. Helena to just south of Beatrice. Staff
had done a preliminary zoning study of the Concord Road area in anticipation of the
improvements being made to Concord Road. This study basically calls for those properties
with frontage along Concord to be rezoned to GC -MD.
Exhibits are attached.
