MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER A/
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 6, 2001
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP — PENDING REZONING OF CURRENTLY ZONED
"R -MF -1" MULTI -FAMILY DISTRICT PROPERTY TO "R-5.0"
ZERO LOT LINE DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council authorize Staff to conduct a City -initiated rezoning of
the residential area serviced by Starnes, Brewer, Washington, and Jones Streets and
Turner Road, commonly referred to as the "Hill," rezoning all property in the area
currently zoned "R -MF -1" Multifamily District to "R-5.0" Zero -Lot -Line District and take
any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The "Hill" area is a patchwork of mostly small, unplatted lots used for single family
purposes. Currently zoned "R -MF -1" Multifamily District, no parcel within this area is
capable of meeting the development guidelines established for the district. At the April
17, 2001 meeting, Council approved the rezoning of a .77 acre tract at the southwest
corner of Dooley Street and Turner Road to "R-5.0" Zero -Lot -Line District. Since that
time, Staff has received a rezoning request for four more parcels in this area and has
discussed the rezoning of eight additional tracts.
If allowed to occur in a piecemeal fashion, rezoning individual tracts to "R-5.0" Single
Family District could create a situation where remaining tracts are unusable and
incapable of meeting the development guidelines for any district. Staff recommends a
City -initiated rezoning of all property in this area currently zoned "R -MF -1" Multifamily
District to "R-5.0" Zero -Lot -Line District which appears to be the direction that residential
development in this area is going and which is compatible with the zoning that borders
this area to the north.
