COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 96-193 November 26, 1996 TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members FROM: James L. Williams, Jr., City Manager George C. Weaver, Director of Community Development�• Robert A. McQueen, Senior Planner CL{i�'" SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning Property at 124 West Marietta Street The subject petition requests that premises commonly known as 124 West Marietta Street be rezoned from R-6 Multiple Dwelling District to O-1 Office District. Conta.ining 3216 squaze feet, the lot in question is presently developed with a single family dwelling. The purpose of the proposed zone is to allow a portion of the subject tract to be used as a driveway to serve the adjoining tract to the immediate east, which tract was zoned O-1 Office District in July, 1993. Recognizing the adjoining O-1 zone as noted, and that the west line of this tract is bound by an alley, staff is of the opinion that the proposed zone is a logical extension of the existing office classifica.tion, and that it would be consistent and compatible with land use and zoning patterns of the general neighborhood. The location of a zone boundary line along the alley as noted provides a logical separation between residential and non-residential land use; staff does not envision further extension of the non-residential zoning classifica.tion west of this point. Inasmuch as this tract is relatively small in width and area, staff is of the opinion that the ultimate best use would be to incorporate it with the adjoining O-1 tract to the immediate east. Staff recommends approval of the petition as presented.
