Planning commission recommends rezoning of Riviera Boulevard property to multi-family, excluding non-conforming signage
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended rezoning 9.35+/- acres at 458 E. Riviera Blvd. from B-1A to R-3; recommendation excludes the site’s current non-conforming signage and will be forwarded to the Mayor and Council.
The City of Foley Planning Commission unanimously recommended that a 9.35+/- acre property at 458 E. Riviera Blvd. be rezoned from B-1A (Extended Business District) to R-3 (Residential Multi-Family) during its March 18 meeting.
Mark Taupeka, representing the applicant, told the commission the site was conforming when built but later became legal non-conforming under regulatory changes and that mortgage and insurance companies had raised issues. He said a variance was approved with the condition that the applicant apply for rezoning within 30 days of the variance approval. City Planner Miriam Boone told commissioners that existing signage must be brought into current code. Commissioner Phillip Hinesley moved to recommend the rezoning but explicitly exclude the current non-conforming signage; Commissioner Bill Swanson seconded and all members voted aye.
The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Mayor and Council for final action, per the agenda item wording.
No public opposition was recorded in the minutes.
