Commission approves rezoning of 9649 Dyer Street to C1 for proposed office use
Summary
The planning commission approved rezoning of a 0.67‑acre remnant lot at 9649 Dyer Street from R4 to C1 to accommodate a proposed business office. The owner’s representative said the property adjoins existing commercial uses and the rezoning would make the remnant lot consistent with adjacent zoning.
The El Paso City Planning Commission approved rezoning of a 0.67‑acre remnant lot at 9649 Dyer Street from R4 residential to C1 commercial to allow a proposed business office and to align zoning with adjacent commercial uses, staff reported.
Planning staff said the parcel is a 0.67‑acre lot currently used in part as a parking lot for an adjacent property and sits between existing commercial properties to the north and east and single‑family homes to the west. Notices were mailed to owners within 300 feet; staff reported one email in opposition raising traffic concerns. Staff recommended approval, saying the rezoning addressed a remnant lot and was consistent with the Plan El Paso G3 post‑war designation.
Erica Becerra, representing owner Jesus Becerra, told the commission the family has operated a restaurant on the adjacent property for more than 20 years and wants to use the rezoned lot to provide office or community‑serving uses such as veterans’ services. The applicant said much of the existing parking for the established business is on the parcel proposed for rezoning and access would be coordinated with the existing site.
Commissioner Albert Apollaca recused himself from the item. Commissioners approved the rezoning by motion and voice vote; staff noted the conceptual site plan is not binding and that any required buffers or easements will be enforced during site development review.
Staff recommendation: approval. Applicant: Erica Becerra representing property owner Jesus Becerra. Public input: one email opposed citing traffic; Mission Valley Civic Association was not recorded for this item. Outcome: approved (voice vote; numerical tally not specified).
