Item No. 24 memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council Gene Anderson, Interim City Manager FROM: Carla Easton, PE, Engineering & Community Development Director SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE — 803 241h St SE DATE: March 11, 2020 BACKGROUND: Jennifer Miller and Jason Davis, on behalf of Mike and Carrie Taylor, are requesting a change in zoning from General Retail (R) to General Retail with SUP for Tattoo Shop (GR -SUP Tattoo) for the property located at 803 24th SE. The site is approximately 0.3 acres with an existing strip retail/office store. The applicant is proposing to occupy part of the existing building. STATUS OF ISSUE: The future land use plan recommends for this site to be retail, and the existing land uses in the area include retail, office, and neighborhood services, with single family homes approximately 100 feet to the north. While zoning principles could support an approval of the SUP, it is most appropriate for the retail center to be located on a major thoroughfare, not the local street leading into a residential area. The street access and front parking area on the subject lot is limited along 24th SE. Given the proximity to the residential neighborhood, staff recommends consideration of limited hours of operation and by appointment only in an effort to minimize late night disruptions to the area. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of this zoning change. RECOMMENDATION: Approve of a zoning change from General Retail (R) to General Retail with SUP for Tattoo Shop (GR -SUP Tattoo) with hours of operation limited to 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and scheduling by appointment only.
