Requested By: Fairmont Park Joint Venture & Mr. J. P. Jackson Backr.:round: This rezoning request i~ in an area where several changes in the zoning on property have taken place in the past twenty (20) months, or since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1501. The initial change in the zoning took place on August 10, 1987 ltJhen the C it y Cou nc il re zoned a sma II tract of land to Ne ighborhood Commerc ial and issued a Spec ia 1 Cond it iona 1 Use perm it for Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage. The action of the City Council left an "island" of Neighborhood Commercial (N.C.) zoning with a tract of land occupied by a Gulf service station and a car wash, 'zoned High Density Residential (R-3), lyj.ng bebTeen the approved Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage facility and Fairmont Parkway. The tract of land, with its legal non-conforming use, was rezoned from High Den s i ty Res ielent ial (R- 3) to Ne ighborhood Commerc ia I (U. C. ) dur'ing the first rev iev! of the zon ing orel inane e and zon ing map . At the same time the zoning on another small tract of land located immediately west of the Gulf service station and car wash was rezoned from High Density Residential (R-3) to Neighborhood Commercial (N.C.). This was done to eliminate an island of Neighborhood Commercial (N.C.) surrounded by High Den~ity Residential (R-3) and to connect the Neighborhood Commercial (N.C.) zoned property to the remaining N.C. zoned property that extended to Underwood Road. The next activity included a request to change a 13.52 acre tract to General Commercial (G.C.). The tract of land included land starting at the east side of the Gulf service station and extending west to Unden-iood Road and north to the Fairmont Park subdivision. This reque st wa s amended to inc 1 ud e a n add it ional 4.5 ac re trac t of land located east of the Gulf service station and extending east to Reid Elementary school. The request for the entire 18.02 acres was reviewed by the City Council at their meeting dated August 8, 1988. At that time the City Council denied the request for General Commercial (G.C.) zoning.
