DEPARTMENT: Development Services
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Michael Shannon
COUNCIL DISTRICT IMPACTED: Council District 1
SUMMARY:
Councilman Trevino requests that City Council, through resolution, direct the Development Services Department to initiate a rezoning to an appropriate zoning district for property located at 1612 North Zarzamora Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The property located at 1612 Zarzamora is currently zoned “I-1 HL” General Industrial Historic Landmark District. This current zoning designation is restrictive for the renovation of the historic building as it relates to uses, setbacks and parking requirements. Initiating a rezoning will provide for a more appropriate zoning for the property so that it can continue with the renovations to the building.
ISSUE:
The current zoning of the property is restrictive with the proposed use and renovation of the historic structure. Initiating a rezoning process will allow for the appropriate uses and rezoning to occur.
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of this resolution would allow the existing zoning district to remain.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The subject property comprises approximately 0.4 acres, which equates to a rezoning case fee of $785.00. The cost of these procedures will be absorbed by the Development Services Department.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution as this direction will provide an opportunity to apply appropriate zoning to the subject property.
