Request by Nick and Leah Cerwin and Thomas and Cory McFall for a Zoning Map Amendment from R1-6 District to R2 District for a portion of land at 1357 N. 71st Street and from R2 District to R1-6 District for a portion of land at 1412 St. Charles Street
body
A. Background/Options
The applicants are proposing the following zoning map amendment:
• Rezone 1,509 square feet of land at 1357 N. 71st Street from R1-6 District to R2 District.
• Rezone 67 square feet of land at 1412 St. Charles Street from R2 District to R1-6 District.
The zoning map amendment is being requested due to a lot line adjustment proposal between the two properties that have different zoning designations. 1412 St. Charles Street is zoned R2 and 1357 N. 71st Street is zoned R1-6. The creation of split-zoned properties is prohibited per City Code. Therefore, the applicants are requesting the rezone so that the zoning district boundary aligns with the proposed property lines.
Attached to this report is the applicant’s request with a survey showing the areas subject to the zoning map amendment.
