TITLE
AN ORDINANCE CHANGING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FROM R -5, MULTIPLE
RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE DISTRICT TO B-4, REGIONAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
COVERING A PARCEL OF LAND COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1005 COURT STREET
ISSUE
Shall City Council approve a request to rezone the property from R -5, Multiple
Residential and Office District to B-4, Regional Business District, to bring the parcel
and existing structure into conformance with City Zoning regulations?
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 9, 2008 Regular Meeting, voted 6 -0
to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
The applicants are requesting to rezone 1005 Court Street in an effort to bring the
parcel and existing structure into conformance with City Zoning regulations. The site is
currently zoned for high density residential and office uses; the property owner would
like to expand the permitted uses to include an array of commercial and retail uses, in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. As the site exists, the structure does not
meet the required 25 -foot front and 12.5 -foot second front yard setback requirements.
Because of this, the building is considered a legal non - conforming structure and
improvements to the structure are greatly limited. There is no required front setback
under the B-4 Zone District; if the rezoning is approved the building would be
considered legal and renovation or additions would be permitted as long as parking is
adequate and other site improvements are completed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
