Memorandum
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council
Grayson Path, City Manager
FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development
SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Adam
Bolton on behalf of Jeffrey Shane Brown for a change in zoning from a Light
Industrial District (LI) to a Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) in the
Campbell Addition, Block 2, Lots 1,2 & 3 located at 1204, 1214 & 1224 12th
St. SE — LCAD's 10486,10487 and 10488.
DATE: February 28, 2022
BACKGROUND
Jeffery and Nicki Brown requested a zoning change from LI to 2F. The applicant intends to
construct 3 duplexes under the City's new 5 In 5 Infill Housing Development Program (see
attached guidelines). It will also provide for an expanded & contiguous 2F District Boundary
based upon the zoning along Jackson and the surrounding several blocks. There is a drainage
way with flood plain designation on land to the west (rear) of the property which serves as a
natural barrier to the heavy commercial/industrial development further to the West. The
properties are substandard in lot width at 50 ft., but the proposed ordinance changes in agenda
item number 4 will now permit these types of substandard lot sizes to be developed without a
variance. The lot size and depth are conforming with regard to dimensions and setbacks for new
duplex construction can be met.
ANALYSIS
• The subject property is zoned LI, is Guided for Low Density Residential and is undeveloped
• The land area to the West is zoned LI, is Guided for Low Density Residential, and is
undeveloped. This area provides for an open space buffer to the heavy commercial
development further to the west.
• The land area to the North is Zoned 217, is guided for Low Density Residential, with single-
family homes
• The land area to the East is Zoned 2F, is guided for Low Density Residential, with a single-
family home
• The land area to the South is Zoned LI, is guided for Low Density Residential, with single-
family homes
PUBLIC INPUT
One public input was received to date in favor, but will be updated if additional are received at
the hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning from LI to 2F.
