PACHECO, DIRECTOR TITLE AN ORDINANCE CHANGING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FROM 1 -3, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO B -4, REGIONAL BUSINESS DISTRICT COVERING PARCELS OF LAND COMMONLY KNOWN AS 503 AND 507 EAST 11 STREET ISSUE Shall City Council approve a request to rezone the property from 1 -3, Heavy Industrial District to B -4, Regional Business District? RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their May 13, 2009 Regular Meeting, voted 4 -0 to recommend approval with the following condition: Landscaping for both parcels must be brought into compliance with Section 17 -4 -7 of the Municipal Code upon issuance of a building permit for either parcel. BACKGROUND Ms. Harper owns two single - family residences located east of Fountain Creek in an 1 -3 Zone District. According to the 1905 Sanborn Insurance Maps, the house addressed as 507 E. 11 Street was constructed prior to 1905. It appears that the house located at 503 E. 11 was constructed later, between 1906 and 1929. Both residences were established prior to the first city wide Zoning Ordinance in 1931 and the more notable 1968 city wide rezoning in which modern zoning practices were instituted within the City. The residential uses are now considered legal non - conforming uses, which allow the use to remain until the use has ceased for six consecutive months or for 18 months in a three -year period. The property owner wishes to rezone the property to B -4, Regional Business District, which will allow the residential uses to remain as uses by right because they were established prior to 1968. The rezoning will grant the property owner the opportunity to draw equity out of the homes through a reverse mortgage so that she can finance maintenance costs for both properties. The B -4 rezoning will also allow future commercial redevelopment of the property. Staff recommends that all landscaping improvements for the two properties be deferred until development of either property occurs. The rationale for this request is that no changes are being made to the property at this time. Once a building permit is issued or a change of use has occurred, landscaping conforming to municipal standards will have to be instituted within that parcel. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
