Item No. 13 memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council John Godwin, City Manager FROM: Alan Efrussy, AICP, Planning Manager SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE FOR A MOBILE HOME ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1450 WALKER STREET. DATE: October 4, 2016 BACKGROUND: This application is for a public hearing to consider the petition of Timothy Waugaman and Vera Wright for a change in zoning from Single — Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) to a Single — Family Dwelling District No.3 (SF -3) with a Specific Use Permit (39— Mobile Home), on Block 3, Lots 7 through 10, of the Colonial Addition, being located at 1450 Walker Street. This matter was previously on the September 12, 2016 City Council agenda, but because the Planning and Zoning Commission did not meet in September for lack of a quorum, at the September 12th Council meeting, Mayor Hashmi opened the public hearing on the matter and left it open until the October 10, 2016 meeting. At the public hearing in front of Council on September 12th, one person spoke against the request and no one spoke in favor. At the October 3, 2016 public hearing held by the Planning and Zoning Commission, no persons spoke either in favor of or in opposition to this zoning request. Since the commission unanimously recommended denial of this request, it will require a three — quarter (3/4) majority vote of the full City Council to approve the rezoning of the property. STATUS OF ISSUE: The city staff has determined the following: (A) Existing Land Use: This subject property is currently vacant, and there is substantial brush and vegetative material that is in the process of being cleared from this site. The property is currently comprised of 0.6320 acres. There is no flood plain on this subject property. The property is located in essentially in an existing single — family residential neighborhood. (B) Existing Zoning of the Subject Property This subject property is presently zoned One — Family Dwelling District (SF -3).
