The Petitioner requests an amendment of the Future Land Use Map from Residential Single-Family to Traditional Commercial for the subject parcels.  The request is made in association with a proposal to convert an existing duplex into a neighborhood-scale, multi-tenant commercial structure. The two-story structure currently hosts an over-under duplex. The proposal would effectuate its conversion for nonresidential uses to include: office;  personal services; and a potential food-oriented retail establishment on the ground floor. A contractor’s office would occupy the second floor.  The companion rezoning petition is 24-001759-ZA.
