Body
BACKGROUND: In December 2016, the petitioner, James Tillman, filed a request to rezone the subject property to a Class CN (Neighborhood Commercial). Upon review, the Planning & Zoning Commission forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to approve. The City Council voted to deny the requested rezoning.
Section 2.8.9 of the Unified Development Code requires a waiting period of one year to re-file the same rezoning request, except upon consideration of new evidence or proof of change of condition found to be valid by the Zoning Administrator. The petitioner has conducted neighborhood outreach (which was not done previously) to the surrounding property owners and 1st District Councilmember Moore to gain their support.
The Planning & Zoning Commission found that the request met the Findings of Fact and voted 5 to 0 TO APPROVE.
See the attached Planning & Zoning Commission case packet and meeting minutes for detailed information regarding the requested rezoning.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Additional property tax revenue upon development.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS (at the Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting): None
IMPACT IF APPROVED: The subject parcels will be rezoned to CN Neighborhood Commercial.
IMPACT IF DENIED: The subject parcels will remain as currently zoned R-4 Single Family Residential.
ALTERNATIVES: N/A
