Hicks Applicant: Same Location: 1506 Commerce Street Request: Rezone from "C-3" General Commercial to "R-4" Two Family Purpose: Single Family Residence Size: 3750 square feet Existing Use: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Zoned "C-3" South - Single Family, Zoned "R-4" East - Duplex, Zoned "C-3" West - Commercial, Zoned "C-3" STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposal is to construct a single family residence on the lot in question, currently zoned "C-3." Because of the commercial classification, rezoning to a residential district is required. An "R-4" zoning was chosen because of being the predominant district in the immediate area that permits single family units. The rezoning should not create any problems for the neighborhood and will put a vacant lot to use. The intersection does not appear to be viable commercial location because the majority of the "C-3" lots are either vacant or used for residential purposes. Only one lot has a nonresidential building on it, and that is in substandard condition. Because of the size of the lot, 50' x 751, variances have been requested for the rear and front yards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors. The Planning Commission voted _to_recommend approval of the request as filed. The vote: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
