The petitioner seeks to rezone 1410 Montgomery Street (PIN 2-0066 -05-004) and 314 West 31st Street (PIN 2-0066 -05-003) from the B-C Zoning District to the Mid-City's TC-2 Zoning District.  This is the second of four agenda items related to this rezoning petition (File No. 17-004805-ZA) as the petition involves multiple properties, districts, and recommendations.

The property owner did not request the rezoning for these two properties. However, the petitioner did include the properties on a concept plan being reviewed through the rezoning of adjacent properties.

In addition to the proposed rezoning, the petitioner also seeks text amendments to the 3-B and B-C zoning districts. The text amendment is scheduled for the same City Council meeting as the rezoning petition (See File No. 17-004803-ZA). The Planning Commission recommends an alternate text amendment.

The property owner seeks to redevelop a block located between Montgomery Street to the west, Anderson Street to the north, Jefferson Street to the east and W. 31st Street to the south.  The block is separated by Anderson Lane. The block contains seven parcels and a total of 1.17 acres of land (not including the public lane). The petitioner owns the entire block and seeks to construct up to 105 dwelling units in addition to rehabilitating nine existing dwelling units. The present zoning and some of the zoning requirements would not allow the desired density.

On November 21, 2017, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning of 1410 Montgomery Street and 314 West 31st Street from from the B-C Zoning District to the Mid-City's TC-2 Zoning District. Though not consistent with the original request, the property owner supports the Planning Commission’s recommendation.
