15&16 - Zoning Change Request - Michael Hall - City Block 154 Block A Lot 3 801 W. Washington Street and City Block 154 Block A Lot 2 South Side W. Washington StreetItem Nos. 15 & 16
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Carla Easton, P.E., Community Development Director
SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE, HALL ADDITION LOTS 2 AND 3
DATE: September 5, 2019
BACKGROUND: Michael Hall owns approximately 27 acres along W Washington and 6th St SE
that is made up of three separate parcels. His home is located on a 6 acre parcel that was re -zoned
Single Family Dwelling District 3 (SF -3) with an SUP for mobile home in 2015. At that time, he
did not request a zoning change to all 27 acres.
Mr. Hall is now requesting a change in zoning on the two parcels adjacent to his 6 acres homestead
as described below. It is my understanding that this request is not to serve any new development
or land use, but rather an issue with his ability to sell the land.
Zoning Chane Request 1Parcel ID ,16475: Change in zoning for a 6.435 acres located on W
Washington from Commercial (C) to Multi -Family Dwelling District 1 (MF -1). The subject
property is a vacant lot where a grocery store once existed. More than half of the property is
designated as FEMA floodplain, and it is directly across the street from the George Wright Homes
apartments. Existing zoning in the area is MF -1, and Light Industrial (LI).
Zomng Change Request 2, Parcel ID 108: Change in zoning for 13.9 acres located along 6th St
SE from Light Industrial (LI) to Two Family Dwelling (2F). The property is directly across the
street from a residential neighborhood of primarily single family homes, however the existing
zoning east of 6th St SE is 2F.
STATUS OF ISSUE: The comprehensive plan calls for the southwest quadrant of this intersection
to be light industrial use (LI), with high density residential (HDR) along the north side of W
Washington and low density residential (LDR) east of 6th St SE and north of Parr Avenue. The
intent with LI land use is to allow for industrial development along the railroad. The properties
are significantly encumbered by floodplain and utility easements, and while an industrial use could
be developed in the area, it seems impractical that it would happen any time soon. In any case, a
zoning change would be required for the existing residential lot in order for industrial to move
forward. We rarely want to go outside the future land use plan, but considering the adjacent lot
was already rezoned to residential, allowing a single family home to be built in this area, and also
considering that adjacent land uses suggest that a medium to high density residential use would be
compatible and appropriate in the area, we are not opposed to the request to change zoning on
these two lots. That said, it is not the city's responsibility to change zoning solely for the purpose
of a property sell. This decision should be made based on what is the best interest of the city.
The planning and zoning commission conducted a public hearing at its regular meeting of
September 5 to address this requests. A realtor spoke in favor on behalf of the owner, one person
spoke against. The commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of this zoning change.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve of zoning changes as requested, from C to MF -I and from LI
to 2F.
