ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 4.00 acres of land from “AG” - Agricultural District, “PD” - Planned Development District, and “CC” - Corridor Commercial Overlay District to “C2” - Local Commercial District, “SO” - Suburban Office District and “CC” - Corridor Commercial Overlay District, generally for commercial uses.
On December 9, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to close the public hearing and table the rezoning request indefinitely per the applicant’s request.
On January 10, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to close the public hearing and table the item to the January 24, 2017 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting due to a noticing error. Staff has re-noticed this item accordingly.
Additionally, Staff has received four comments in opposition to this request, as well as a signed petition. The petition has been signed by at least 20 percent of the property owners within 200 feet of the subject property, and as such meets the requirements of a formal petition and will require a favorable vote by a supermajority (6 of 7) of the City Council to be approved.
