Council approves first reading to convert a flood-damaged lot to commercial for JW Automotive; companion zoning change introduced
Summary
The council approved the first reading of ordinance 1564 to change about 0.51 acres from residential medium density to commercial for use as overflow and employee parking by JW Automotive; staff said the property had homes demolished after flooding in 2012 and the companion zoning ordinance 1565 was introduced.
The Live Oak City Council approved the first reading of ordinance 1564, a future land-use map amendment converting roughly 0.51 acres from residential medium density to commercial to accommodate overflow and employee parking for an adjacent JW Automotive site.
City staff explained the parcel previously contained homes that flooded during Tropical Storm B (2012) and had been vacant since. "According to the letter of intent submitted by the property owner, they are asking for this change, to be made into a commercial property with an intent to utilize it for overflow parking and employee parking," George Curtis said in his presentation.
Curtis said the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval at its May meeting, that notices and signage had been posted, and that no negative feedback had been received through the advertisement process. After a motion and second, council members voted 'Aye' and the presiding official declared the first reading approved; the record in the provided transcript does not include a detailed roll-call tally.
The council then opened the first reading of ordinance 1565, described by staff as the companion zoning amendment to reclassify the parcel from RSF-2 (single-family) to commercial-intensive (CI). Staff indicated ordinance 1565 is the second part of the two-part application and will continue through the normal amendment procedures.
