Home My WebLink About1553-ZN1 DATE: June 18,2001 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Hollywood Area Rezoning Study FILE: 1553-2 STAFF REPORT The Planning Director recommends approval of the Task Force's recommendation, To assist in the revitalization of the Hollywood Avenue area and to make the zoning reflect existing land uses, the Planning Division conducted a rezoning study of a 165 acres of land that extends from the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks to the north, Fourth Street to the cast, Fannin Street to the south and Tenth Street to the west. Currently, all the land within the study area is zoned HI (Heavy Industrial) except for the properties owned by Bethel Missionary Baptist Church and Girls Haven. Those properties are zoned GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) District. The area is a mixture of industrial, commercial, medical, public/semi-public and residential uses, The Hollywood and West End Additions make up the area where most of the homes exist, Since most of that area is zoned Heavy Industrial, no homes can be built there except for the replacement of grandfathered homes that are destroyed by act of God. It is this area where the revitalization efforts are to occur. Staff recommended that those properties along the north side of Fannin be rezoned to GC -MD, Two areas on the south side of Hollywood were proposed for LI (Light Industrial). Most of the property in the Hollywood and West End Additions was proposed to be rezoned RCR (Residential Conservation and Revitalization). The remainder of the study area was recommended to stay Heavy Industrial, A task force consisting of concerned citizens was formed to review staff s recommendation and made the following recommendations: Of that most westerly area proposed as LI in the staff recommendation, "Tract 52", owned by American Valve and Hydrant, is recommended to remain III. "Tract 55" is recommend to be rezoned to LI (see "A" on Task Force recommendation). STAFF REPORT continued 2. Recommend that an area abutting the east side of Sixth Street be rezoned to LI (See "B" on Task Force recommendation), Two property owners own this property.
