ITEM NO.: 34 Cont. FILE NO.: Z-6474
LAND USE ELEMENT
The site is located in the Boyle Park District. The adopted
Land Use Plan recommends Single Family for this property.
The R-3 request conforms to the adopted Land Use Plan and
the John Barrow Neighborhood Plan.
STAFF .ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .18 acre
tract from "C-3" General Commercial to "R-3" Single Family
residential. The property is currently vacant. Once
rezoned, the applicants propose to place a new,
multisectional manufactured home on the site. A conditional
use permit request for the manufactured home is item no. 31
on this agenda (Z -6474-A, Cooley and Wilson Manufactured
Home C.U.P.).
The property is located at the northeast corner of West 36th
and Longcoy Streets, in the heart of the John Barrow
Neighborhood. The primary land use in the area is single
family residential. A small area of C-3 zoned properties is
located around the intersection of 36th and John Barrow.
Most of those C-3 zoned properties are either vacant or are
occupied by single family homes. The R-3 zoned properties
adjacent to the east and north are occupied by single family
homes. The C-3 zoned property across 36th Street to the
south is occupied by a single family home. The C-3 zoned
lot across Longcoy to the west is vacant.
The R-3, Single Family residential, rezoning request
conforms to the adopted Land Use Plan and is compatible with
uses and zoning in the area.
The John Barrow Neighborhood Association was notified of the
rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested R-3 zoning.
