The petitioner seeks to rezone 312 West 31st Street (PIN 2-0066 -05-002) from the Mid-City District's TN-2 (Traditional Neighborhood) Zoning District to the TC-1 (Traditional Commercial) Zoning District. This is the fourth of four agenda items related to this rezoning petition (File No. 17-004805-ZA) as the petition involves multiple properties, districts, and recommendations.

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 petitioner 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 denial of the proposed rezoning of 311 West Anderson Street from the Mid-City District's TN-2 Zoning District to the TC-1 Zoning District.
