Body
Summary:
VK Properties, LLC, has submitted a petition to rezone two parcels of land totaling .55 acres of land from B2-A to B-2.
Background:
The applicant is requesting a rezone of 1402 and 1404 6th Street. The parcels are currently zoned Business B-2A Office District. The applicant is requesting a rezone to Business B2 District.
The lots are currently occupied by rental properties. The applicant wishes to demolish these rental homes and build a commercial property. The preliminary concept calls for a commercial building fronting 6th Street with parking located in the rear. Property to the east is zoned R-2. This property is owned by the City of Brookings and is part of the Hillcrest Park/Aquatic Center Complex. Property to the west is zoned B-2A. It is owned by Advance and used for housing. Properties to the south, zoned R-2, include two owner-occupied homes fronting 5th Street. Properties to the north, across 6th Street, are zoned B-2.
The parcels in the request are part of an Urban Strategy Area within the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. The Urban Strategy Area includes the block north and south of 6th Street between Downtown and 20th Avenue. The Urban Strategy Area is similar to Medium Intensity areas and is intended for a mix of housing types, commercial, office, and service uses.
