SUBJECT: Request for a zone change from GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family
Dwelling) to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District.
FILE: 1540-Z
STAFF REPO
The Planning Manager recommends approval of the down -zoning to allow the construction
of a new home in this neighborhood. The change is in compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Carlos Zuniga wishes to build a new home at the northwest comer of North Street and
Forrest. Since the property is zoned GC -MD, he is unable to get a building permit, The
Zoning Ordinance of 1981 does not allow homes in the commercial districts.
His 2-1/2 lots are south of and abut the 57 acres of land which were changed from GC.7MD
to RS after the Dowling Neighborhood Zoning Study was approved by the City Council on
April 25, 2000. A total of 89.61 acres was involved in the study area. In addition, the City
rezoned the old Dick Dowling Jr. High School site on October 10, 2000, from GC -MD to RS
for residential development. The subject property is in a residential area across the street
from a large church.
