Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Rezoning request to rezone a parcel of land from Office Commercial District to Medium Density Residential District. The subject property is 0.22 acres in size and is located at 611 Herman Street. Specifically, the applicant intends to rezone the subject property from Office Commercial District to Medium Density Residential District to re-develop the existing structure as a single-family residence. While a single-family residence is currently listed as a permitted use in the Office Commercial District, City sponsored amendments to the district removing single-family dwelling units as a permitted use require that the property be rezoned to a residential district for the proposed development. In 1999, the Rapid City Planning Commission approved a Planned Development Overlay on the property to allow an office building with the stipulation that any change in use required the review and approval of a Major Amendment to the Planned Development Overlay. As such, the applicant has submitted a Major Amendment to the Planned Development Overlay (File# 20PD005) to allow a single-family residential use on the property concurrently with this Rezoning request. The City’s Future Land Use Plan currently lists the property as Employment Center, which does not support Medium Density Residential District as an appropriate zoning designation. However, Future Land Use Planning Staff met to discuss the application and have indicated that due to the existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding neighborhood, a staff sponsored amendment to the Future Land Use Plan is appropriate to change the Future Land Use Designation from Employment Center to Urban Neighborhood for the subject property. In particular, the proposed Rezoning request and subsequent amendment to the Future Land Use Plan will allow residential development on the property in compliance with the Medium Density Residential District. Therefore, the requested Rezone will be in compliance with an upcoming City sponsored amendment to the Future Land Use Plan.
