Council reviews owner-requested rezoning to heavy commercial near Fletcher Avenue
Summary
Staff presented and recommended approval of a change of zone for property at 5959 Tombstone Ridge Drive from R-3 residential to H-3 heavy commercial to match an existing preliminary plat and adjacent commercial uses; planning commission recommended approval.
City planning staff on Sept. 8 presented a request from Marico Real Estate Company to rezone roughly 1.2 acres at 5959 Tombstone Ridge Drive from R-3 residential to H-3 heavy commercial. Director of Planning David Carey told the council the request is owner-initiated, is consistent with a preliminary plat approved about 24 years earlier, and received a planning commission recommendation of approval.
Carey said the parcel sits near Fletcher Avenue, between 14th and 20th streets and adjacent to existing commercial activity, and that part of the parcel is already zoned H-3. Staff described the rezoning as a cleanup item to make the zoning map match long-standing plat expectations and noted that special and conditional uses under H-3 remain subject to additional review. The staff report recommended approval; council questions focused on whether the change would affect property taxes and confirmation that the request was initiated by the property owner. Carey said tax assessment depends on eventual land use and that the owner had requested a higher-intensity use.
No formal adoption vote is recorded in the transcript; staff presentation and planning commission recommendation were entered for council consideration.
