The petition of Harold and Josh Yellin on behalf of Jennifer J. Collins and Paula D. Collins is to rezone the 0.22-acre parcel located at 618 East Montgomery Crossroads (PIN 20494 04023) from RSF-6 (Residential Single Family) to OI-T (Office-Institutional Transition). If approved, the petitioner will be establishing a personal services use on the premises.

The Office and Institutional-Transition (“OI-T”) district is established to facilitate the orderly transition of properties originally developed for residential use to limited nonresidential uses. These properties are in areas where increased automobile traffic, road widening or other factors have diminished residential viability, resulting in the need for a transitional area to buffer surrounding residential properties.

The property is in a transitional area between heavy commercial use and single-family residential use making the proposed OI-T zoning an acceptable district. The current building, formerly a residence, could adequately support commercial establishments. Note, NewZO created the OI-T for this type of rezoning scenario.

On March 1, 2022, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the petition of Harold and Josh Yellin on Behalf of Jennifer J. Collins and Paula D. Collins to rezone 618 East Montgomery Crossroads (PIN 20494 04023) from RSF-6 (Residential Single Family-6) to OI-T (Office Institutional-Transition).
