STAFF REPORT
Gerald Farha is requesting approval of a Rezoning from RM-H (Residential Multiple Family—
High Density) District to GC-MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District, to
the properties located west of 6130 Calder Avenue. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for
commercial development.
According to the Comprehensive Plan the property is located within a "Community Center".
Such areas may include "hospitals, branch libraries, governmental agencies, major office
complexes, regional shopping centers and high density residential development."
The proposed Rezoning appears to be in accordance with the Comprehensive plan as it would
foster the continued growth of the "Community Center". Additionally the property fronts an
arterial road, which typically encourages high density commercial uses.
Planning staff recommends approval of the request.
Exhibits are attached.
