COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: MOTION TO APPROVE THE REZONING OF PROPERTY, LOCATED AT
120 WELCH AVENUE, FROM "S-GA" (GOVERNMENT/AIRPORT) TO "DCSC"
(DOWNTOWN/CAMPUSTOWN SERVICE CENTER).
ACTION FORM SUMMARY: This is a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning
Commission to change the zoning map from "S-GA" (Govern me nt/Ai rport) to "DCSC"
(Downtown/Campustown Service Center). The change will provide for a correct zone
designation for a privately owned parcel of land that is being utilized as a commercial land
use.
Approval of the request is recommended.
BACKGROUND:
Staff request. The subject area under consideration is located at 120 Welch Avenue. (See
map titled "Zone Correction Map.")
This subject property was incorrectly zoned when the zoning map was approved by City
Council on May 1 , 2000. The parcel should have been zoned as "DCSC"
(Downtown/Campustown Service Center) because it is a privately owned commercial land
use in the Campustown Commercial District. A drafting error lead to the misrepresentation
of this property when it was presented for final map adoption by City Council.
ANALYSIS.
Land Use. Adjacent land uses are similar to the subject property.
Zoning. The property is adjacent to other land uses that are zoned
Downtown/Campustown Service Center. (See map titled "Zone Correction Map.")
Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Goals and Policies. The zone change request is
consistent with the Land Use Policy Plan.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The recommendation to change the zoning for this parcel of property would bring the uses
on the property into zoning conformance. Currently, the uses on the subject property are
"non-conforming" to the Government/Airport Zone.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this rezoning proposal at their meeting of
November 15, 2000 and approval was recommended.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the rezoning of property located at 120 Welch Avenue
from "S-GA" (Government/Airport) to "DCSC" (Downtown/Campustown Service
Center).
2. The City Council can deny the rezoning of property located at 120 Welch Avenue
from "S-GA" (Government/Airport) to "DCSC" (Downtown/Campustown Service
Center).
3. Action on this request can be postponed and referred back to City staff for additional
information.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that Alternative #1 be adopted. This action will correct the error made
on the zoning map and approve the rezoning of property located at 120 Welch Avenue
from "S-GA" (Government/Airport) to "DCSC" (Downtown/Campustown Service Center).
