Property Details
Property History: The subject property is a portion of a larger lot. It was annexed in 1951, and was originally zoned "L" First Manufacturing District. Upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the previous base zoning district converted to "I-2" Heavy Industrial District. In a 2008 City-initiated rezoning case, the subject property was rezoned to "AE-4" Arts and Entertainment-4 District. In 2012, the property was rezoned to the current "L" Light Industrial District.

The subject property is currently developed as an approximately 50,427 square foot warehouse that was constructed in 1964. The rezoning request is meant to allow a portion of the existing structure to be refurbished as loft apartments.

Topography: The property does not include any abnormal physical features such as significant slope or inclusion in a flood plain.
