Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from LI (Light Industrial) to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling), RCR (Residential Conservation and Revitalization) and GC - MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) District. FILE: 1380-Z STAFF REPORT The Planning Division conducted a zoning study for that area of "Old Town" between Calder and Evalon and First and Third, Fourth and Fifth Streets, The rezoning study indicated that the LI zoning does not reflect the existing land uses nor the direction of the type of development that is occurring in the "Old Town" area. The study indicated that the majority of the area consists of single family dwellings. Most of the multi- family and commercial development occurs from just north of North Street to Calder. This rezoning will protect existing land uses and will allow new development which is compatible to these existing land uses. Exhibits are attached.
