REZONE LOTS ON HARRISON SOUTH.
PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on a rezoning application to rezone
from R -1 -A to B -3.
BACKGROUND:
Name of Applicant: Gary L. Capone
Address of Property: Two lots immediately south of 702 East Excelsior Ave.
Present Zoning: R -1 -A
Nature of Request To rezone from R -1 -A to B -3
Reason for Request: To construct a storage building.
The applicant is proposing to build a 50'x50' storage building on the two
lots adjacent to his business at 702 East Excelsior Avenue. The subject
property is zoned R -1 -A. In order .to construct a storage building the
zoning would have to be changed. A warehouse is a permitted use in a B -3
district.
The subJect lots are approximately 6096 and 5956 square feet. The lots
meet the minimum requirements of the B -3 district.
Currently the site is an empty lot used for parking and storage by the
apOlicants business. Blake School is to the east, homes to the south
and west, and Surge Water to the north
The applicant has contacted the surrounding neighbors, it appears none have
objected, however, I am unable to determine if the neighbors realize that
the zoning will have to be changed in order to construct the proposed build -
ing'
Anything done to this site would be an improvement, however, to rezone
would intrude into a residential area. If this rezoning would be allowed
a precedent would be set for other businesses along Excelsior Avenue to
do the same.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend denial of the rezoning.
