Tabled During March 28, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting

APPLICANT/OWNER:
JJB Enterprises LLC
AGENT:
Tom Simons and Doyle Surveying, Inc.
CASE SUMMARY:
Through a separate resubdivision of this area, JJB Enterprises, LLC is requesting the creation of two commercial lots along Tanner Drive for future development purposes.  Upon approval of the resubdivision that will create these two lots, the applicant is requesting the zoning be changed from R-4, Multi Family Residential District, to C-1, General Commercial District.
CASE BACKGROUND:

The requested Zoning Map Amendment is for property located immediately east of Tanner Drive and immediately north of Southern Drive. The existing zoning for this area is R-4, Multi Family Residential District. The City's adopted 2013 Land Use Plan envisions this area as Residential with a mixture of Commercial uses.  An existing oil well and other energy extraction facilities currently exist on the adjacent Tract B3. Tract B3 is not developed and will remain in the R-4, Multi Family Residential District.

Through a separate resubdivision effort for this area, two new parcels - Tract B4 (3.07 acres) and Tract B5 (2.67 acres) will be created along Tanner Drive. Tract B4 and Tract B5 are located immediately north of existing Tract C, which is the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. JBB Enterprises LLC is requesting Tract B4 and Tract B5 be re-zoned from R-4, Multi Family Residential District, to C-1, General Commercial District.

Pursuant to Section 12. of the City's Zoning Ordinance, a Zoning Map Amendment shall not be approved except to:

  1. Correct an obvious error or oversight in the regulations; or to
  2. Recognize changing conditions in the City, which require that amendments be adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety and general welfare.
Changing conditions in the City require the approval of the requested Zoning Map Amendment to rezone Tract B3 and B4 from R-4, Multi Family Residential District, to C-1, General Commercial District.
CASE REQUIREMENTS:

The Planning Requirements are as follows:

  1. The Final Plat for Tracts A1, B3, B4 and B5 shall be recorded with the Campbell County Clerk and Ex-officio Recorder of Deeds, prior to the rezoning taking effect.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval, subject to all Planning Requirements.
