ZC2015-001 Rezoning from Bl, Neighborhood Business, to B2, Limited Business Applicant: Zulfiquar Punjani Address: 2408 County Road I City Administrator Ericson indicated the applicant and property owner, Zulfiquar (Julio) Punjani, has submitted an application to rezone his property located at 2408 County Road I, previously operated as a neighborhood convenience store, from B-1, Neighborhood Business, to B-2, Limited Business. The property is one of only two commercial properties presently zoned B-1. The other property is located at the southeast corner of County Road H2 and Silver Lake Road. The expressed basis for the requested rezoning would be to allow for the operation of a liquor store on the site, although the Commission would need to consider all possible uses. City Administrator Ericson reported the Planning Commission reviewed this request at its meeting on December 2, 2015. After reviewing the staff report and hearing from the property owner, the Commission expressed an opinion that the request would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive plan and would not be out of character considering the surrounding uses. After considering the other criteria for amending the City's official zoning map, the Commission directed staff to prepare a resolution recommending approval of the requested rezoning of the property. City Administrator Ericson reviewed the request in further detail and stated based on the direction provided at the December 2, 2015, Planning Commission meeting, staff has prepared Resolution 1039-15 recommending approval of the requested rezoning of the property at 2408 County Road I from B-1, Neighborhood Business, to B-2, Limited Business, along with findings of fact in support of the recommendation determining that the requested rezoning would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, would not depreciate the neighborhood, would not be out of character for the area, would serve a demonstrated need, and that the uses would not be inappropriate for the location.
