Department:

Planning and Development Services

Commission Meeting Date: June 5, 2018

Staff Contact:

Mary Miller, Planner

Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Approve request to rezone, Z-18-00087, approximately 0.97 acres located at 912 N 3rd Street from CS/UR (Commercial Strip and Urban Reserve) Districts to CS (Commercial Strip) District and adopt on first reading Ordinance No. 9470.

 

Executive Summary:

The Planning Commission initiated this rezoning request on February 21, 2018.

 

A rezoning request, Z-08-34-01, for this property was approved by the City Commission in 2001 subject to the conditions that the property be annexed into the city, and that a site plan be approved that included fencing for the exterior storage area.  The property was annexed in April of 2003 and a site plan was approved which did not include exterior storage. With the approval of site plan SP-02-07-03, the conditions of approval were met; however, an ordinance completing the rezoning was not submitted to the City Commission. Due to the amount of time that has elapsed since the approval of the initial rezoning request, staff requested that the Planning Commission initiate a new rezoning, rather than processing an ordinance from the 2001 application. The rezoning request was recommended for approval 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.
