Planning and Zoning Minutes December 5, 2005 Page 3 8 ayes and 0 nays. 7. Public Hearing to consider the petition of Rita Buford for a change in zoning from a Multiple-Family Dwelling District No.1 (MF-1) to a Neighborhood Service District (NS) on Part of Lot 4, City Block 29, being number 617 E. Houston Street. The public hearing was declared open. Rita Buford bought a home on 3rd Street NW that was on the National Registry in 1988. Mrs. Buford stated that all of the property that she and her husband own is well maintained. Their son bought 2 rental houses on E. Houston Street, which they have leveled and redone inside and out. Ms. Buford is wanting to open a retail store, and she provided the Commission with a list of items she proposed to sell. If the zoning is approved, she and her husband will sell their 4,000 square foot home and move next door to this location. She stated that she had planned to put in a beauty salon, but that the person cutting hair wanted to work late at night, so she changed her mind and instead wants to sell antiques and other retail items. Lisa Wright advised the Commission that Mrs. Buford had originally requested to put in a beauty salon only, so Neighborhood Service was recommended. She stated that the Commission could approve NS with a Specific Use Permit to allow for the sale of antiques; however, the other items on her list could not be sold in NS zoning. Ms. Wright stated that General Retail (GR) zoning would be required to conduct the new activity. There was no opposition, and the public hearing was declared closed. 7.
