A change in zoning is a request to amend the map or text of the city zoning ordinance. A change will only be
approved if it is consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan. A change is usually made to provide for different
land uses, but a request may also be made to change zoning standards or requirements. Before a rezone is
granted, a staff report will be prepared. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and will present a
recommendation to the City Council. The Council will make the final decision.

townhomes and duplexes. The limited shape and location of the
parcel are incongruent with commercial use.

The change in zone would be in the public interest because it
removes the commercial aspect from the area and creates more
residential housing options.
4.Explain how the site is suited to the proposed zoning. (Topography, access,
utilities, etc)
The site is generally flat and is located in an established neighbor-
hood where City utilities are available. The neighborhood currently
accesses from SR 507 and Carter Street SE.

reduced or avoided. Conflicts as a result of a rezone are not expected.
If approved, the proposed construction of dwelling units such as
townhomes or duplexes would fit the neighborhood dynamic better
than the current "mixed use" requirement.
A rezone is appropriate for this area.
Adjacent zoning is residential and subject parcel is Commercial 1.
C1 allows residential as mixed use with apartments. Apartment
living and commercial use does not fit well in a neighborhood of
single family homes and limited parcel size and shape.
The parcel is zoned commercial while adjacent parcels are zoned
residential. The use under commercial would not utilize the parcel
efficiently or to the benefit of the neighborhood. .
