Petitioner, John Pappas, is requesting to rezone the subject property from a Class C-G (General Commercial) to I-2 (Railroad/Warehouse Industrial). The subject property contains 0.67 acres of land and is currently developed with a single family residential structure, an accessory garage structure and vacant parcel. The property is surrounded by C-G (General Commercial) zoning to the south and across Morton Street to the north, I-2 (Railroad/Warehouse Industrial) zoning across Adams Street to the east, and R-6 (Multi-Family Residential) zoning to the west.
The Development Review Board recommends DENIAL of the request to rezone the subject property from a Class C-G (General Commercial) district to a Class I-2 (Railroad/Warehouse Industrial) district. Upon review the following conclusions are forwarded:

3) No other property within the same block as the subject parcels is currently zoned I-2 (Railroad/Warehouse Industrial).
