The owner is proposing to rezone two (2) acres of land from C-1, General Commercial District to I-1, Light Industrial District. The property is located south of East Shoshone Ave and west of Butler Spaeth Road.
This case was approved by the Planning Commission during their January 14, 2020, meeting with a vote of 5/0.
The surrounding zoning is:
North – I-1, Light Industrial
East – I-1, Light Industrial
South C-1, General Commercial
West – C-1, General Commercial
This proposed rezone will match the adjoining I-1, Light Industrial District to the north in Lot 2A, Betcher II Subdivision. The proposed lot for rezone is vacant of any structure. Without the rezone of the south 297.24 feet, Lot 2A would be split zoned which is not in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. The recently approved Betcher II subdivision created the split-zoning on Lot 2A, Betcher II Subdivision.
This zoning request is in accordance with the current Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Plan calls for Multi-Family Residential and Mixed Use in this area. This zoning combined with the adjacent I-1, Light Industrial Zoning District meets the minimum size required for the I-1, Light Industrial District of 5 acres.
Pursuant to Section 12 of the City of Gillette’s Zoning Ordinance, a Zoning Map Amendment shall not be approved except to:
(1) Correct an obvious error, or
(2) Recognize changing conditions in the City
The proposal to rezone two (2) acres of land from C-1, General Commercial District to I-1, Light Industrial District, recognizes the current use of the property and to correct an error in the map. |
