The applicant intends to use the property for a one-story buildings with three (3) residential units. The Subject property is located northwest of the intersection of N Lauderdale Ave and W 6th St. The site is currently designated SF-3, Single-Family Residence District-3 and is the location of a church. The applicant, Ngoc Tran, is seeking a zone change for the future development of a three-unit residential building. Using the City's identified priorities contained in the City of Odessa's Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Division provides the following comments: Comprehensiveness: This request is inconsistent with the City of Odessa's Comprehensiveness Plan. The property is surrounded by Single-Family dwellings and zoning on all sides, and approving multi-family zoning in the center would be considered spot zoning and inconsistent with the Planning objectives outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and zoning district. The nearest Multiple-Family zoning designation is approximately 1,00-feet away. Livability: The proposed zoning would have a negative impact on this site or surrounding properties. It would add more density, parking, and traffic in an area deigned for single-family housing on large lots. Reasonableness: the proposed zoning district would not facilitate a reasonable transition between land uses of varying intensities and would create a conflict to existing land uses in the area. The Planning Division recommends DENIAL due to the request being inconsistent with the development objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Chairman ask members for question. Member Gary Sims ask staff for the Zoning process. Explains the Multi Family locations as giving a better quality. As this neighborhood indicated rental homes and apartments down the road. Staff indicates City Council request for the change as notices sent out for two hundred feet radius. Staff as well indicates multiple family would be the best zoning for a project like this to be approved. Director would request a study from the area and present to City Council. As Dan Jones, City Attorney, stated to members would be able to send a request to City Council for a proposal of Multi-Family in a larger area than just this spot zoning. Chairman opens the public portion of the meeting asking if any one else further would like to speak on behalf, owner approaches podium stating the use of zoning will help impact his projection.
