| SUBJECT: |
| An Ordinance to Amend the District Zoning Map of the City of Gillette, Wyoming, for a Portion of Lots 1A and 1B, Block 10, Rolling Hills Subdivision from R-1, Single and Two Family Residential District and C-1, General Commercial District, to C-1, General Commercial District, Subject to all Planning Requirements. |
| BACKGROUND: |
|
This Zoning Map Amendment is being initiated and requested by the City of Gillette in order to align zoning district boundaries with recent property line adjustments.
Lot 1, Block 10, of the Rolling Hills Subdivision has been resubdivided to split the existing one (1) lot into two (2) lots while encompassing adjacent portions of vacated, unimproved public right-of-way and sewer right-of-way. These newly created lots are known as Lots 1A and 1B, Block 10, of the Rolling Hills Subdivision.
Portions of both lots fall within both the R-2, Single and Two Family Residential Zoning District and the C-1, General Commercial Zoning District; the majority of both lots fall within the C-1, General Commercial Zoning District.
To avoid potential issues with split zoning across both lots, the City of Gillette is requesting to rezone all of the newly created Lots 1A and 1B as C-1, General Commercial Zoning District.
An amendment to the City's Zoning Map shall not take place unless at least one of two criteria exists as set forth in Section 12 of the City of Gillette Zoning Ordinance:
(1) The City's Zoning Map may be amended when there is a need to correct an obvious error. In this case, there is an obvious error; the newly created Lots 1A and 1B have split zoning as a result of the recent resubdivision that absorbed vacated right of way.
(2) The City's Zoning Map may be amended to recognize changing conditions within the City. In this case, the lot lines have changed and have necessitated the need to initiate this Map Amendment.
Staff recommends approval of this Zoning Map Amendment. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I move to approve an Ordinance to Amend the District Zoning Map of the City of Gillette, Wyoming for a Portion of Lots 1A and 1B, Block 10, Rolling Hills Subdivision from R-1, Single and Two Family Residential District and C-1, General Commercial District, to C-1, General Commercial District, Subject to all Planning Requirements. |
