ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and the Community Development Director with a Request to Concur with the Recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff to ADOPT an ORDINANCE Rezoning Property from a Class R-6 (Multi-Family Residential) District to a Class C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) District, for the Property Located at 3029 N. PROSPECT ROAD (Parcel Identification No. 14-34-128-032), Peoria, IL. (Council District 3)
Body
BACKGROUND:
The petitioner is requesting to rezone property from a class R-6 (Multi-Family Residential) District to a Class CN (Neighborhood Commercial) District. The Planning and Zoning Commission VOTED 5 - 0 TO APPROVE the rezoning request.
On May 5, 1988, a Use with Approval was granted for nonconforming office space in an R-2 Zoning District. The property has been used as a legal non-conforming office building since that approval. The request to rezone the property to C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) District would allow for additional uses, while still being compatible with the mixed use character of the corridor and the surrounding residential areas.
For additional background information, please refer to the Staff memorandum to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: N/A
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS: None expressed at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
IMPACT IF APPROVED: The property will be rezoned to C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) District.
IMPACT IF DENIED: The property will not be rezoned and would remain as R-6 (Multi-family Residential) District, with a legal non-conforming use as an office.
