Item No. 21 - Z-4582
Owner: B.L. Murphree
Applicant: Same
Location: 1418 Chester
Request: Rezone from "C-3" to "R-4"
Purpose: Duplex
Size:
0.16 acres
Existing Use: Duplex (nonconforming)
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Single Family, Zoned "C-3"
South - Commercial, Zoned "C-3"
East - Single Family, Zoned "C-3"
West - Single Family, Zoned "R-4"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The property is currently occupied by a nonconforming duplex
with single utility meters. The request is to rezone the
lot to "R-4" to allow the meters to be split, and this will
place the duplex in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance.
The property was zoned to commercial a number of years ago
through an urban renewal project for a neighborhood shopping
area, which has never really been established. All the lots
on the west side of Chester are occupied by residential
units with the exception of the lot directly to the south
which has a commercial use on it. Residential use of
commercially zoned lots in the area is very common and
appears to be more appropriate for a majority of the lots.
The "R-4" rezoning is compatible with the area, and staff
supports the request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the "R-4" rezoning as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. The
Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the
application as filed. The vote: 10 ayes, 0 noes and
1 absent.
