Cal. No. 01-50 Petition of A.J. KRIEGER,Assistant City Manager, to rezone the premises located at 704 WEST LEAFLAND AVENUE from R-5 Two Family Residence District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. Mr. Van Steenhuyse presented the recommendation of staff: The subject property is part of the Roosevelt School Apartments Residential Development Plan (RDP) approved by the City Council on March 1, 2001 and amended in August. All of the properties included in the RDP were believed to have been rezoned under separate action by the City Council on February 19. However, the original petition for rezoning of these properties did not include the property in question. At the time of the original petition, the developers did not own the subject property. During the RDP approval process, they acquired the property and included it in the RDP eventually approved by Council. However, they failed to submit a petition to rezone the property. This was discovered later, as a result of due diligence by a potential lender. This action rezones the property on Leafland to R-6 and brings it into conformance with the approved Roosevelt School RDP. No construction has occurred upon this property, and it has not been used in any manner inconsistent with its current zoning. Rezoning of the property makes its zoning consistent with ,. the surrounding properties. Staff recommends approval of the petition to rezone 704 West Leafland from R-5 to R-6. There were no objectors present. It was moved and seconded (Smith/Sands) to forward Cal. No. 01-50 to City Council with recommendation for approval. Motion carried with a nay vote by Commissioner Washington.
