Six-plex rezoning request continued after staff flags multiple nonconformities
Summary
Staff told the planning commission the applicant seeking rezoning for a six-plex built in 1963 did not include proffers and faces multiple nonconforming site issues; the applicant asked to continue the item so deficiencies can be addressed.
The planning commission heard on a rezoning request tied to a six-plex built in 1963 and voted to continue the item after staff identified multiple nonconforming elements and said no proffers accompanied the application.
Staff member said the property is zoned SFT, which does not permit multifamily uses or the existing structure. "The use is not allowed. The structure is not allowed," the staff member said, and listed concerns including lot size and width, the location and amount of parking, landscaping, setbacks and the fact that the front yard had been paved over the sidewalk and concrete apron.
The owner had requested a letter that would permit rebuilding if the building were to burn down; staff said they could not provide such a letter. The applicant proposed rezoning the site to MFNS to allow the use, but staff said the application lacked proffers to address known nonconformities and recommended not supporting the rezoning as submitted.
Because of the outstanding issues, staff said the applicant decided to continue the item for the commission to consider at a later meeting. The staff member told the commission the applicant will need to appear before the Board of Zoning Appeals for relief on nonconforming elements if rezoning proceeds.
The continuation gives the applicant time to proffer site improvements and to resolve parking, setback and landscaping deficiencies before the commission takes further action.
