APPROVAL PROCESS: The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission will be forwarded to the City Council for final action at the December 6, 2011 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the proposed rezoning request; however Staff has no objection to the requested exemption from the Zoning Ordinance’s 150 foot multi-family residential window provision due to the fact that the planned multi-family residential uses on the subject property are fronting on a boulevard that planned single family uses are also fronting thus creating an urban, pedestrian-oriented design as mandated by the “REC” - Regional Employment Center Overlay District.
