AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: August 8, 2011
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for rezoning for Citizen’s First Bank from City R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to City RP (Residential Professional) - 708 Lee Street
PROJECT: Medical Office
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning for the subject property from City R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to City RP (Residential Professional).
Analysis:
The project site is approximately .38 of an acre. The property is generally located on the southeast corner of Lee Street and W. Oak Terrace Drive as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is City R-2 (Medium Density Residential). The current use of the property is a vacant, legally non-conforming medical office with adjacent parking. The surrounding zoning designations are City R-1 (Low Density Residential), City R-2 (Medium Density Residential), City RP (Residential/Professional), and City SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development). The surrounding Future Land Use Map designations are City Low Density Residential. The existing Land Use designation for the subject property is City General Commercial.
The proposed zoning district of City RP (Residential Professional) is compatible with the adjacent and nearby properties in the area and with a future land use designation of City General Commercial. This is an area of transition from older residential uses to professional uses and the proposed zoning would provide for transition to the adjacent residential uses to the west. This request does not appear to create a detriment to the surrounding properties.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are medical offices, single family residential and multi-family residential.
The property currently has City utilities.
By a vote of 7 to 0 on July 21, 2011, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval.
Options:
1. Approve the proposed rezoning to City RP (Residential Professional) thereby allowing consistent zoning and development standards for this area.
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
There is a positive fiscal impact to the City through the further development of this property.
