Honorable Mayor and Councilors
City Manager
City Attorney
Clerk of Council
Subject: (REZN 9-10-5035) Request to amend the text of the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) to create a new permitted use and definition: Office,
Unclassified. The amendment will permit offices not classified as Office,
Business and Professional; Office, Medical and Dental; and Offices, Veterinary;
or any other office specifically listed in the UDO, in the RO, CO, GC, LMI, or
HMI zoning districts.
Susan Abercrombie submitted an application for a text amendment regarding
offices. She owns a bail bonding office and wants to relocate from her home to
the former Reaves Wrecking office on 10th Street. The property is currently
zoned LMI (Light Manufacturing / Industrial) and is still used as a salvage
yard. Offices are not permitted in the LMI zoning district thus the request
for a change to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). In the previous
zoning ordinance (1998), Offices, Unclassified, were allowed in the former M-1
(now LMI) as a permitted use. By adding the aforementioned category to the
UDO, it will allow office use not categorized in the current ordinance as a
permitted use.
Sincerely,
Rick Jones, AICP
Director, Planning Department
