HomeMy WebLinkAbout1379-ZDATE: November 17, 1997 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from HI (Heavy Industrial) to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling -Highest Density) District. FILE. 1379-Z STAFF REPORT The applicant wishes to rezone the subject property in order to use the land for residential purposes. This portion of Block 30 of Cartwright Terrace Addition is zoned HI and is vacant. However, the properties to the east and south of this area are zoned RM-,H and are used for single family residential purposes. The adjoining neighborhood appears to be stable. The development of heavy industrial uses on the subject property would have a negative impact on the surrounding residential neighborhood. The industrial property market and the size of the subject property makes industrial development doubtful. The rezoning of the property will allow the property owner to develop the property in a manner that will benefit him and the surrounding neighborhood. Exhibits are attached. LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR ORDINANCE PURPOSES Being Lots and parts of Lots 12-15, Block 30, Cartwright Terrace Addition, containing 0.27 acres, more or less. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 13 Responses in Favor . Responses in Opposition Mr. Stephen C. Richardson, AICP Planning Director City of Beaumont P. 0. Box 3827 Beaumont, TX 77704 RE: Request for Rezoning: Current Zoning - HI; Requested Zoning - RM-H Lots 12113,14 & IS; Block 30; Cartwright Terrace Addition Dear Mr. Richardson; XPDVs1-R)A-L- This letter is to request the zoning of the above referenced property be changed from earnmerdal— (H) to Residential (RM-14). Enclosed is an applicatim for the Amendment of the Zoning Ordinance, along with the appropriate application fee. This area was once a heavy industrial area, but that is no longer the case. I acquired this property one year ago not knowing it could not be used as a residence. Without the zoning change I cannot develop this property for residential purposes, thus making the property of no use to me. Since the area is no longer a heavy industrial area, the chances of finding a buyer who would want to develop it commercially are slim.
