City Clerk Howe read the title aloud. Development Services Director Henschel presented the item. The applicant, Salvatore, Inc., is requesting to rezone the subject property from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to C-1 Light Commercial. The site is approximately 3.04 acres and is located at the southwest corner of State Road 50 and East Avenue. The property has a Commercial Future Land Use Designation. In 2020, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 2020-01, to change the zoning from C-1 to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for the development of 36 multifamily dwelling units. The project was never constructed, and the applicant has petitioned to allow for a rezoning change back to the previous C- 1 Light Commercial. The applicant has not identified any future development endeavors for the parcels. The application specifies that C-1 Light Commercial is a more appropriate zoning category and will be more consistent with the existing development pattern and character of the neighborhood. Staff has reviewed the application as submitted and finds the request to change the zoning from Planned Unit Development to C-1 Light Commercial is consistent with the intent of the goals, objective and policies for the Commercial land use designation. Therefore, staff recommends approval to rezone the subject property to C-1 Light Commercial. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0. The applicant, Bret Jones, was present. He stated he agrees with staff and is available for any questions. Mayor Murry opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Murry closed the public hearing.
