Staff Contact:

Mary Miller, Planner

Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Approve request to rezone, Z-18-00086, approximately 0.13 acres from RMO-UC (Multi-Dwelling Residential-Office District with the Oread Neighborhood Urban Conservation Overlay District) to RM32-UC (Multi-Dwelling Residential District with the Oread Neighborhood Urban Conservation Overlay District) and adopt on first reading Ordinance No. 9469.

 

Executive Summary:

The Planning Commission initiated this rezoning request on February 21, 2018 to correct a zoning error made with Ordinance No. 4235.

 

A rezoning request was approved in 1971 for property addressed as 1216 Louisiana Street to rezone the property from RD (Residence-Dormitory) to the RO-1 (Residence-Office) District to accommodate the property owner’s real estate office. The rezoning application materials listed the address as 1216 Louisiana Street, but listed the lot number as ‘220’, which is the lot number for 1212 Louisiana Street. The rezoning ordinance, Ord. No. 4235, only listed the lot number and the rezoning was applied to 1212 Louisiana Street, rather than 1216 which was the intended subject lot. This rezoning will correct the error.  The rezoning request was evaluated with the approval criteria listed in the Land Development Code and the recommendation for approval was based on the findings of fact listed in the staff report.

 

The Planning Commission considered the item at their April 25, 2018 meeting and voted unanimously to forward the rezoning request to the City Commission with a recommendation for approval.
