PACHECO, DIRECTOR 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.
