HomeMy WebLinkAboutZ-4096 Staff Analysisx October 25, 1983 Item No. 11 - Z-4096 Location: 1602 Abigail Request: Rezone from "C-3" General Commercial to "R-3" Single Family This property has had numerous zoning violations stemming from parking cars in the right-of-way and impeding traffic flow. An auto garage has operated at this location for many years. The residents of the area petitioned the Board of Directors to down zone the property to "R-3." This action was taken on October 4, 1983. The City Attorney has since informed us that the Board of Directors should not have rezoned the property without Planning Commission review. He suggested that the property be sent to the Commission. The staff recommends the down zoning from "C-3" to "R-3." We do not feel that further Planning Commission action is necessary, but wanted to fulfill the wishes of the City Attorney. Down zoning is consistent with the Oak Forest Neighborhood Plan.

He stated that a Planning Commission review of the rezoning action would clarify the issue. Several of the commissioners expressed concern over a down zoning action without the property owner initiating the process. Jim explained that a letter is on file stating that the owner does not object to the rezoning action. After further discussion, the Planning Commission voted 11 ayes and 0 noes to recommend approval of the "R-3" rezoning.
