change in zoning from CBC to MU for parcels RP06N39E244821,
RP06N39E244803, and RP06N39E244825. The proposed zoning area is

The request would require the Commission and City Council to review the
proposal against one set of criteria, for the request to rezone. Below, staff has
provided all the criteria listed by Ordinance No. 1200 (Development Code)
that are required to be addressed, followed by staff’s analysis of each criterion.

facilities, solid waste collection and disposal, and other utilities.
• Water can be serviced off of 12th West. A sewer lift station will be needed to access
the majority of the parcel.
