WARD: 1 PLANNING DISTRICT: 8 CENSUS TRACT: 44
CURRENT ZONING: PCD
VARIANCE/WAIVERS: None
BACKGROUND:
On December 7, 1993 the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 16,532 which
rezoned the property located at 112 West 1311 Street and 1223 S. Louisiana Street from
"HR" High Density Residential to PCD. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the rezoning on November 16, 1993. The rezoning was approved for office
or apartment use on the 1223 S. Louisiana Street lot, with the lot at 112 West 13t" Street
being developed on a parking lot. The original "HR" High Density Residential zoning of
the property, along with other old downtown zoning designations, was converted to
"UU" Urban Use zoning by Ordinance No. 18, 228 which was passed by the Board of
Directors on March 7, 2000. On December 2, 2008 the Board of Directors passed
Ordinance No. 20,054 which rezoned the lot at 1223 S. Louisiana Street from PCD to
PD-R for the construction of a single family residence.
The property owner, Tony Curtis, is now requesting to revoke the PCD zoning for
112 West 131" Street, in order to move a small single family residence to the site. The
site currently contains a small paved parking lot, for approximately eight (8) vehicles,
accessed from a paved alley right-of-way. The property will revert to its original
UU zoning.

SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 3 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-5725
Notice of public hearing was sent to the Downtown, SOMA 501 and Pettaway
Neighborhood Associations. There is no provision for notice to be given to surrounding
property owners for this procedural request.
The property is situated within a block which contains a mixture of zoning including
PD-R, PRD, PCD and UU. UU zoning is located immediately to the east and within the
three (3) blocks to the west. The Capitol Zoning District is located across West 13t" Street
to the south. Staff believes restoration of the UU zoning for this property for the placement
of a single family residence is appropriate.
AFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the PCD revocation request.
