Item No. 9 memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council John Godwin, City Manager FROM: Alan Efrussy, AICP, City Planning Manager SUBJECT: CHANGE FROM SINGLE—FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT (SF -2) TO SINGLE—FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT (SF -2) WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT (RECREATIONAL FACILITY—PRIVATE) AT 2815 W. CAMPBELL STREET. DATE: August 31, 2017 BACKGROUND: This request is to conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the petition of Lawrence Thompson for a change in zoning from Single—Family Dwelling District (SF -2) to a Single—Family Dwelling District (SF -2) with a Specific Use Permit (Recreational Facility—Private), being located at 2815 West Campbell Street. The subject property is 0.1897 acres, and there is no flood plain on this property. Specifically, the applicant wishes to establish a basketball court on this property. STATUS OF ISSUE: Staff believes this is an appropriate project because private neighborhood— oriented park, recreation, and open space amenities provide additional structured recreational facilities, beyond public park systems, that also further enhance and strengthen residential neighborhood integrity and functioning. Since this request is for a private recreational facility, the Zoning Ordinance requires a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for such recreational uses within the SF -2 single—family zoning district. The city engineer has indicated that no additional street/thoroughfare right—of—way is needed. Although a site plan is a requirement for SUP uses, since no actual building is to be located upon this subject property, a formal site plan is not required. Rather, the policy in Paris is to provide photographs illustrating the subject site, which are included. The staff originally supported the applicant's request and continues that support conditioned upon the following: 1. The subject property owner shall consistently keep the subject property clean, maintained, and safe subject to approval of the city staff.
