STAFF —A -N-2 LY TS
923 South Taylor is currently zoned R-3, and the request is
to rezone it to C-3 for a pickup and delivery service. The
lot is 47 feet by 140 feet and there is a one story
residential structure on it. The proposal is to remodel the
building for office space and utilize some of the rear yard
area for the parking of one or two vehicles.
The existing zoning is very fragmented and includes R-2,
R-3, R-4, R-6, 0-1, 0-3, C-3, C-4, I-2 and PCD. Within one
block of the site, there are five different zoning
districts. West of Fair Park, the zoning pattern is not
well defined. Land use is similar to the zoning and is made
up of single family, office, commercial and industrial. On
some of the surrounding blocks, the uses are single family,
office, a car wash and industrial. Some of the land in the
neighborhood is still undeveloped, especially the C-3 area
to the west of Fillmore Street.
The 1-630 District Plan shows the area west of Fair Park
Boulevard and north of [nest 12th for mixed use. Therefore,
a C-3 reclassification for 923 South Taylor conforms to the
adopted plan and staff supports the request. The existing
zoning has changed the character of the area and the long
term viability of the small residential neighborhood can be

question because of what as occurred in the area. A C-3
rezoning of the lot will not impact the surrounding
properties, nor introduce a new zoning element to the area.
ENGINEERIN IMENTS
South Taylor requires a dedication of 5 feet to satisfy the
Master Street Plan standard of 25 feet from the centerline.
