,• ~ • CITY OF LA PORTS IfJTER-OFFICE MEMO T0: Plann' and Zoning Commission FROM: D. aulissen DATE: 02/11/86 SUBJECT: Re-zoning reauest, Blk. 158, Lts. 1-16, LP The City has received a rezoning request from Mr. Gus Brieden to rezone Lts. 1-16, Blk: 158, LP from "R-1" Residential to "C" Commercial. No specific use is proposed and the reason given for the request is "t0 comply with the master plan". One half of the lots under consideration (Lts. 1-8) are recommended to remain "R-1" by the plan. Although lots g-16 are proposed to become General Commercial, GC, no use is given and past policy indicates that rezoning without a use should not take place. HISTORY The property in question is located between the North/South alley between First St. And Second St, and "H" and "I". This entire one • half (1/2) block faces a built out section of residential uses West across Second St, from the site. The property is vacant at this time. A review of the tax role indicates that lots 7 thru 10 are not owned by Mr. Brieden. ANALYSIS Lots 1-8 are currently "R-1" Residential and proposed to remain so under the comprehensive plan. Lots 9-16 are however proposed to become "GC" General Commercial .under the plan. No proof of ownership is enclosed as required by the current Zoning Ordinance and should be required before the public hearing takes place. With no proposed use given, it is impossible to determine the impact of the rezoning on the surrounding area and the residential use across Second St. from this '~; ~ property. RECOMMENDATION One half of the lots in question are proposed to remain residential and no use is given for the remaining half of the lots. With these facts in mind, staff would recommend denial of the request for rezoning lots 1-8 and a tabling of the request on lots 9-16 until proof of owner:~t~ip is shown and a specific use is indicated. •
