COMMUl�IITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 99-49 March 9, 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor erry M. Howley and City Council Members FROM: James L. William ., City Manager � Cecil A. Collins, r., Director of Community Development �' — Kathy J. Miller, Planner �'�� SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning 1932 East William Street The subject petition requests that the premises located at 1932 East William Street be rezoned from R-5 Two Family Residence District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. The tract contains appro�mately 83,520 square feet or 1.92 acres and is developed with the former Roach School. The school was closed in 1982 and the building was rented to Love Unlimited for approximately four years. The building has been used primarily for storage by the district; the school district had plans to demolish the building sometime in the future. The purpose of the proposed zone is to enable the petitioner to renovate the building to affordable senior housing. Said premises are adjoined on all sides by R-5 Two Family Residence District. Eldorado Street is located approximately 400 feet to the north and zoned B-2 Commercial District. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with zoning patterns in the general area and with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that designates the area as high density residential. In view of the data presented, staff recommends approval of the petition; however, as this proposal is a change in use, sealed architectural drawings are required along with a site plan submitted and approved by the Department of Community Development and Public Works before this project can begin.
