TO:
HONORABLE MAY, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM:
BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
ERICA MAROHNIC, PLANNING SERVICES DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2022
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AMENDMENTS AND CHANGES TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE, NO. 82-73, SAME
BEING APPENDIX D OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AS
FOLLOWS: SECTION 26, HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT RELATIVE TO MINIMUM BUFFER YARD AND
REAR SETBACK REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN COMMERCIAL
USES AND ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, AND ANY
OTHER ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, OR CHANGES TO
VARIOUS SECTIONS, ARTICLES, AND PROVISIONS
CONTAINED IN SAID ORDINANCE NO. 82-73.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council consider the amendments to Section 26, Highway
Commercial District relative to minimum buffer yard and rear
setback requirements between new commercial uses and
adjacent residential districts and take any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND:
In 1984 the City rezoned the entire city which is summarized in each zoning application’s
agenda memorandum. At that time, a segment of East Northwest Highway, on the south
side of the highway, between Dooley Street and Jenkins Street was identified as having
special attributes related to lot shallowness and therefore, needed accommodations to
allow for future redevelopment of these properties. Specifically, Subsections
26.F.3., Minimum Open Space, 26.F.4., Maximum Impervious Surface, and 26.G.3, Front
Yard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance are not required for properties that redevelop
along this segment of East Northwest Highway. While this is a recognized special
accommodation, no properties within this segment have completely redeveloped,
meaning all improvements have been razed and new development has occurred.
ISSUES:
Subsections 26.G.5, Rear Yards, 26.H, Buffer Area Regulations and 26.M.4, Design
Requirements still apply to properties along this roadway segment which requires a rear
yard setback equivalent to the adjacent zoning district, an opaque screening fence or wall
between non-residential uses and residential districts, and a 20-foot wide buffer strip
between “HC” designated properties and a residentially zoned property(ties). The
average lot depth for properties between Dooley Street and Jenkins Street is 110 feet
AM22-05.4.docx 2
deep when a 290-feet deep lot is removed due to its double-frontage configuration from
East Northwest Highway and East Wall Street. Therefore, redevelopment of a typical lot
within this area will result in approximately 18 percent of the developable area of the lot
being reserved for a rear yard setback and open space.
With the continued demand for residential in and adjacent to the city’s Historical
Township, several properties on the north side of East Wall Street have been rezoned
from the “HC”, Highway Commercial District to “R-7.5” or “R-5.0”, Single-Family Districts
over the last 10 years. As this trend has continued, both Planning Services staff and
property owners have raised concerns regarding the ability to improve these specific
properties without further special accommodations.
On July 19, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a workshop to discuss the
issues above. The Commission recognized that the East Northwest Highway segment
was unique in configuration and provided the following feedback:
• Recognition that there is a demand for residential housing along East Wall Street
to the south;
• A suggestion that buildings within the “HC” district along this segment of East
Northwest Highway be limited to one story or a more restrictive height than
typically required in the “HC” district in other locations;
• A suggestion that buildings that are two-stories in height within the “HC” district
along this segment of East Northwest Highway, have a prohibition on windows
on the second floor facing adjacent residential zones;
• A desire to have solid opaque screening remain a requirement between new
non-residential development and adjacent residential zones;
Attached is a Geographic Information System (GIS) map detailing the existing conditions
mentioned above and the proposed draft revisions depicted in a strikethrough/underline
format to show deletions and insertions found in Section 26, “HC”, Highway Commercial
District of the Zoning Ordinance.
