FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MAY 21, 2024
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING — WEST PEACH STREET
REZONE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider calling a public hearing to rezone approximately
4.64 acres generally located south of Hall Street, east of North Scribner
Street, west of North Main Street, north and south of West Peach Street
and all north of Caviness Drive from a "R-MF-1 ", Residential Multifamily-1
to "R-5.0", Zero -Lot Line District for single-family detached homes and "R-
3.5", two-family dwelling district for duplexes.
FUNDING SOURCE:
BACKGROUND: The properties situated south of Hall Street, east of North Scribner Street,
west of North Main Street, north and south of West Peach Street, and all
north of Caviness Drive are zoned "R-MF-1 ", Residential Multifamily-1 on
the official Zoning Map and total approximately 4.64 acres or 202,180
square feet, including right-of-way. The area includes both single-family
detached homes and attached duplexes on both platted lots and portions
of unplatted tracts. The single-family detached homes were constructed
between 1920 and 1956, while the duplexes were constructed in the early
1980s before the 1984 City-wide rezoning.
Under the previous zoning ordinance, the area was zoned "R-3", Multiple -
Family Dwelling District, which allowed duplexes and single-family
detached residences. The previous zoning ordinance permitted all uses
that were allowed by right in the "R-1 ", Single -Family Dwelling and "R-2",
Two -Family Dwelling Districts cumulatively.
In 1984, the city implemented a city-wide rezoning initiative and rezoned
the area properties to "R-MF-1 ", Multifamily District Regulations, which
does not permit single-family detached residences or duplexes. This
zoning designation has remained unchanged on the official zoning map. It
is worth mentioning that the City eliminated the "R-MF-1" district from the
Zoning Ordinance in 2011 with Ordinance No. 2011-33, but it did not
initiate the rezoning of real property throughout the City.
The surrounding area mainly consists of single-family detached homes
and semi -attached homes. Given the existing neighborhood character and
development pattern, staff is proposing to rezone the properties to the "R-
5.0", Zero -Lot Line District for single-family detached homes and "R-3.5",
Two -Family Dwelling District for duplexes.
Currently, one of the biggest concerns is that buildings on the subject
properties are considered legally nonconforming. If the buildings were to
be rebuilt, they would have to comply with the current zoning, which does
not allow single-family detached residences or duplexes. The existing "R-
MF-1", Residential Multifamily-1 zoning district has made it impossible for
property owners to expand their homes and in some instances obtain
financing or refinancing.
