COUNCIL DISTRICT IMPACTED: Council District 2
SUMMARY:
Councilmember Art A. Hall requests that City Council, through resolution, direct City Staff to initiate a plan amendment and rezoning to appropriate zoning districts consistent with the proposed development. The proposed resolution would authorize City Staff to take appropriate steps to bring forward to the Planning Commission and Zoning Commission for a recommendation and to City Council for final action, an ordinance amending the land use and zoning on Lot 18, Block 6, NCB 1277 located at 1923 North Interstate 35 (1923 Pan Am Expressway).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The purpose of the plan amendment and zoning request is to address property zoned “R-5” as the result of a large area rezoning in 2010. This proposal seeks to rezone the property and change the land use as necessary.
ISSUE:
The property located at 1923 North Interstate 35 (1923 Pan Am Expressway) that requires review and analysis of land use and zoning in respect to existing use. The current zoning is not consistent or compatible with the existing use of the property as multi-family.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Resolution is not approved by City Council a city-initiated plan amendment and rezoning cannot be completed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The subject area comprises approximately 0.207 acres. The total Plan Amendment and Zoning application fee is $1,621.80.
If this resolution is approved by Council, the cost of these processes 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 land use and zoning to noted subject properties.
