The petitioner is requesting a map amendment to rezone the 1.14-acre parcel at 5106 Skidaway Road (PIN 20137 01003) from RSF-6 (Residential Single Family-6) to OI (Office Institutional).

In 2009, a zoning determination was made by the City Zoning Administrator that a proposed Tennis School qualified as a “Private School” use, and the use was permitted in the R-6 (now RSF-6) zoning district. The OI zoning district allows office uses as well as a limited number of other uses that are compatible with an office environment.  It is intended to be located in close proximity to Nonresidential districts and may be used as a transition between such areas and Residential districts.

The owner will be selling the property, and through the OI zoning classification the property could support a small commercial operation.  The property directly to the south of the subject property is also zoned OI. The rest of the neighborhood is zoned RSF-6 while the neighborhood across Skidaway Road is zoned RSF-10.

On January 17, 2023, the Planning Commission recommends approval of the petition to rezone 1.14-acre parcel at 5106 Skidaway Road (PIN 20137 01003) from RSF-6 (Residential Single Family-6) to OI (Office Institutional).
