Commission recommends CS rezoning to allow single-family home on industrial-fringe lot
Summary
RCJ Designs requested to rezone a parcel from IL to CS so the owner may build one detached house; staff said CS avoids creating nonconformities for adjacent industrial uses and the commission recommended approval 10-0 after a resident asked to confirm the owner's intent.
The TMAPC on March 4 recommended rezoning case Z-7849 from IL to CS for a property north of the northeast corner of E. Apache St. and N. Columbia Ave. The applicant (RCJ Designs, LLC) seeks CS zoning to allow construction of a single detached house by special exception, avoiding the nonconformities that would arise from rezoning the parcel to a residential district adjacent to industrial uses.
Staff said the CS district aligns with the Employment land use designation and permits a range of small-scale commercial uses while allowing a path for the owner’s desired use. One nearby resident, Bess Kacharra, asked about signage and expressed concern that a commercial shopping development might appear; staff clarified the owner's intention is to build a single house. The commission voted 10-0 to recommend approval, forwarding the matter to the City Board of Adjustment for any necessary special-exception approvals for detached housing in CS.
