Location Map, Zoning Map, Land Use Plan Map <br />OVERVIEW <br /> <br />Last week's staff was presented with an issue by a resident who has a single <br />family home that is currently zoned I-I (Light Industrial). Under the present <br />zoning, the home would be classified as a legal non-conforming use. Under <br />this circu~stance, it makes selling the home rather difficult because <br />prospective buyers do not appreciate conditions relative to a non-conforming <br />structure. Furthermore, a lending institution may have reservations <br />granting a loan for similar reasons. <br /> <br />The resident is requesting a rezoning of the property to R3 (Townhouse/ <br />Multi Family Residential). This rezoning would allow the single family <br />house as a permitted use and be consistent with the R3 zoning immediately <br />to the east. <br /> <br />In addition to the rezoning, a comprehensive land use plan amendment is <br />needed due to the uncertainty of the actual land use designation (see <br />attached land use plan map) and coincide with the zoning boundary. In order <br />to assist in processing the resident's request and be able to make the April <br />e 26, 1994, Planning Commission meeting, staff has begun the process to <br /> <br />.. <br />P.O.
