Staff Contact:

Becky Pepper, Planner II

Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

Approve a request to rezone, Z-18-00131, approximately 14.13 acres from PID (Planned Industrial Development) District to IG (General Industrial) District, located at 3641, 3660, 3661 Thomas Court and 3640 & 3660 E. 25th Street and adopt on first reading, Ordinance No. 9480.

Executive Summary:

An application was submitted by Paul Werner Architects on behalf of Arbor Properties LLC & Roger Johnson, the property owners of record, to rezone approximately 14.13 acres located at 3641, 3660, 3661 Thomas Court and 3640 & 3660 E. 25th Street from PID (Planned Industrial Development) District to IG (General Industrial) District.

 

The applicant is seeking rezoning of the property to a conventional industrial district to accommodate development of ‘garage condos’, defined by the applicant as units “for large and small vehicle storage and hobby space that may not be available in a typical garage. Uses for the storage units will include storage of recreational vehicles such as classic cars, boats, campers, motor homes, four wheelers, motorcycles, etc.”  The use is permitted in the PID District; however, the property owner elected to rezone to the IG District, which is a base zoning district under the 2006 Land Development Code.

 

The Planning Commission considered the item at their May 23, 2018 meeting and voted unanimously to forward the rezoning request to the City Commission with a recommendation for approval.
