COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 96-158 September 10, 1996 TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members FROM: William B. Sands, Acting City Manager George C. Weaver, Director of Community Development(�� . Robert A. McQueen, Senior Planner � � SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning 1224 North 18th Street The subject petition requests that premises commonly known as 1224 North 18th Street be rezoned from R-3 Single Family Residence District to M-1 Light Industrial District. Containing 'i 6200 square feet, the subject tract is platted as one lot and is presently vacant. The purpose of � the proposed zoning change it to allow use of the premises as a parking lot and equipment storage lot for an adjoining automotive repair shop at 1231 North 19th Street. Property to the immediate east is presently zoned M-1 Light Industrial District. While properties to the immediate north and south and those across 18th Street to the west are presently zoned R-3 Single Family Residential, this general area is undergoing a transition from residential to industrial uses. Over the past 25 years, the vast majority of the properties located east of Torrence Park between Condit Street and Locust Street easterly to 22nd Street have been changed to M-1 zoning, and new commercial and industrial development. As recent as November, 1994, property at the northwest corner of North 18th Street and Condit Street was rezoned from R-3 to M-1. Staff recognizes the proposed change as being in keeping with the land use and zoning patterns as described. While we envision ultimate zoning change for the balance of the residential azea along 18th Street north to Condit Street, we would not support further expansion of the M-1 zone to the north and west. In view of the above data, sta.ff recommends approval of the petition as presented.
