Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from RU-2-15 (Medium Density Multi-Family Residential) to BU-1 (General Retail Commercial).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant requests to change the zoning classification from RU-2-15 to BU-1. This parcel is developed with an existing multi-tenant commercial building, built in 1965. Rezoning to BU-1 would make the use of the property consistent with the Future Land Use designation of CC (Community Commercial). The BU-1 classification allows retail commercial land uses on minimum 7,500 square foot lots, but does not allow warehousing or wholesaling.
Commercial use has been allowed on this property since August, 1973. It is currently identified as nonconforming use since rezoning from BU-1 to RU-2-15 on November 2, 2006. The applicant proposes to continue the existing commercial uses that the property had retained as nonconforming uses. Proposed modifications will be reviewed at the site plan review stage for the enlarged parking lot area.
The developed character of the surrounding area is a mixture of commercial and multi-family residential zoning classifications developed with restaurant, retail, single-family and multi-family uses.
The Board may wish to consider whether the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On March 14, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.

Once resolution is received, please execute and return to Planning and Development.
