. , COMMLJNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 95-251 November 15, 1995 T0: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members FROM: James C. Bacon, Jr. , City Manager George C. Weaver, Community Development Director ��R�bert A. McQueen, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning 1524 North Water Street The subject petition requests that premises commonly known as 1524 North Water Street be rezoned from R-6 Multiple Dwelling District to 0-1 Office District. The purpose of � the proposed zoning change is to allow an existing ' residential structure on said lot to be converted to an � office. '� Upon review of land use and zoning patterns in the general area, staff noted that property to the immediate north is , vacant and presently zoned 0-1 Office. Further, properties to the west across North Water Street are likewise zoned 0-1 Office or B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and are � . developed with a mix of office, business, and multi-family structures. The adjoining property to the immediate south � to Center Street is vacant and zoned R-6 Multiple Dwelling. Recognizing the existing land use and zoning patterns as noted, staff is of the opinion that the proposed zone would be compatible with the same. Further, we anticipate that future requests will be received to ultimately consider a nonresidential zone for the balance of this block from the subject lot south some 350 feet to an existing O-1 zone. With regards to the existing structure on this lot, the petitioner has been advised of the necessity to comply with applicable building codes for conversion of this structure to an office. Further, there appears to be adequate area for provision of required off street parking. In view of the above data, staff recommends approval of the � � petition as presented.
