RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (7-0) recommend Approval.
The proposed land use amendment from “Light Industrial” to “Low Density Residential” is requested in order to rezone the property to “R-4” Residential Single-Family District. This is consistent with the Government Hill Neighborhood Plan’s goal to replace the housing stock and to redevelop the neighborhood. The subject properties, and surrounding areas, are primarily residential uses. The land use and zoning for the area is inconsistent and the proposed plan amendment will bring the subject properties into conformity.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the Government Hill Neighborhood Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
