SUBJECT
An Ordinance amending Chapter 30 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, by changing the zoning of property located at 475 North Main Street, in the City and County of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, from R-4 to CBD.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The attached ordinance rezones property at 475 North Main Street. The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned from R-4 (Medium Density Multifamily Residential District) to CBD (Central Business District). The City Council's public hearing on the rezoning request was held December 6, 2021.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
A rezoning application has been submitted for the property at 475 North Main Street. The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned from R-4 (Medium Density Multifamily Residential District) to CBD (Central Business District).
The immediately surrounding properties are zoned M-1 (Light Manufacturing/Industrial District) to the northeast, east, and southeast; and R-4 (Medium Density Multifamily Residential District) to the northwest, west, and southwest. This area is characterized by residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The Cape Vision 2040 Future Land Use Map shows the subject property as Urban Mixed Use.
The City Council's public hearing on the rezoning request was held December 6, 2021.
SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
In considering a rezoning request, both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council must determine if the proposed zoning district is reasonable and in reasonable conformity with the existing uses and value of the immediately surrounding properties. The subject property is proposed to be developed for a crisis maternity home (transitional housing for pregnant women). A majority of the property is already zoned CBD. The applicant is requesting the rezoning in order to establish a single zoning district for the entire property. CBD is the zoning equivalent of the Urban Mixed Use future land use category in the Cape Vision 2040 comprehensive plan. For these reasons, the rezoning request is reasonable and in reasonable conformity with the existing uses and value of the immediately surrounding properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff report to the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request.
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing at its meeting on November 10, 2021 and recommended approval of the rezoning request by a vote of 8 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 1 abstaining.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The City Council's public hearing was advertised in the Southeast Missourian November 21, 2021. In addition, a sign containing the date, time, location and subject of the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council public hearings was posted on the property. Notices were also mailed to the adjacent property owners.
