Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Application No. Z0818-0063, submitted by Luis Tovar, for a change of zoning from Truman Heights Neighborhood - Mandatory Office-Shopfront to Truman Heights Neighborhood - Single-family Residential to allow a new single-family residence, located at 2026 Stephenson Drive.
(One response in favor and four in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the application. This item was postponed at the October 15, 2018 City Council meeting.)
Body
This item was postponed to allow the applicant and the commercial business owner to the north to negotiate a possible conveyance of the subject property to the business owner. Subsequently, both parties have indicated that the business owner no longer has an interest in purchasing the property. The applicant would like to move forward with the rezoning request.
The property is currently vacant. The applicant proposes construction of a new house on the property. The Truman Heights Neighborhood District currently allows office or retail storefront, but not single-family homes on the property. The zoning change would allow a home and no longer permit commercial uses.
On September 24, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve Application No. Z0818-0063, for a rezoning from Truman Heights Neighborhood - Mandatory Office-Shopfront to Truman Heights Neighborhood - Single-family Residential to allow a new single-family residence.
Recommended/Desired Action
After the public hearing, staff recommends approval.
