Title
Rezoning for Lot 100, Block 1, Skinner’s Third Addition
Body
Summary:
The applicant is seeking to rezone a lot from Industrial I-1 Light District to Residence R-1D Single-Family District.
Background:
The property is located at 807 2nd Street South and currently has a residential home on the property. The general area has transitioned from residential to industrial and business uses over time; however, the area still includes a mix of uses with four (4) residential zoned properties to the east. The property was rezoned to industrial several decades ago and the residence was allowed to remain as a non-conforming use. City staff maintained an active residential rental license on the property until 2010. In 2011, the City issued a Zoning Use and Registration Permit for a daycare, which is a permitted special use in the I-1 District. When the use was changed to a daycare, the property lost its nonconforming status to allow residential occupancy of the home. The ordinance allows a nonconforming use to remain until it is discontinued for a period of one (1) year or more.
The owner would like to sell the home for use as a residence; however the I-1 District does not allow for residential occupancy. In order to use the property as a residence, the lot needs to be rezoned to an R-1D. The lot is 6,355 square feet and meets the size and frontage requirements of the R-1D District.
The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as industrial as the land was zoned industrial at the time the current Comprehensive Plan was adopted.
Findings of Fact:
1. The Comprehensive Plan shows the area as Industrial.
2. The residential nonconforming status was lost when the owner changed the use to a daycare which is a permitted special use in the I-1 District.
