The request for a zoning change from "RR-1" Residential Reserve District and "C-2" Commercial District all to "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District on a 38-acre property located at 5127 SW Wanamaker Road.
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing residence along with accessory buildings and construct one new, single family residence and continue to use the remaining property as pasture for livestock. There is no plan in the near term to subdivide the 38-acre property. A single family residence is not a permitted use under the current C-2 zoning. Grazing of livestock, and agricultural use, may continue as a legal nonconforming use under the proposed R-1 zoning.
The applicant conducted a Neighborhood Information Meeting on September 26, 2017. The primary discussion at the meeting centered around the neighborhood's opposition to the previous commercial rezoning requests in 2008.
Other than staff and the applicant no one addressed the Planning Commission at the October 16, 2017 meeting. The Planning Commission and the Planning Department recommend approval.
