The subject site located at 1210 South Jasper Street is currently zoned both B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and R-3 Single Family Residence District and consists of approximately 18,000 square feet. The eastern lot to be rezoned of this site is approximately 6,000 square feet. 2. The eastern 1/3 of this site is zoned R-3 Single Family Residence District with the western 2/3 being zoned B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District. 3. There is a commercial structure, an accessory structure as well as a parking lot to accommodate the commercial structure on the subject site. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The petitioner proposes to rezone the eastern 1/3 of the site from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to allow for all those uses permitted in the B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and create a consistent zoning district on site. STAFF ANALYSIS 1. Rezoning the eastern 1/3 of the site from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District should not create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole as a majority of the site is already zoned B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and the eastern lot has been used for a parking lot and accessory structure for some years.
