#1 RZ94-1 Bobby Burrow requested approval of rezoning from R-1 to C-3 for Lot 5, Block A of Spence Subdivision. The property is located at 2211 Race Street, west of Caraway Road.
The request was made in order to locate a photography studio at this address. This property was included in the 1988 island annexation. An additional 11’ for right of way was requested by the commission.
It was noted that this lot is separated from another commercial district by one lot, whose owner was present and stated that he would be seeking commercial zoning in the next couple of years. Twenty acres north of this site was rezoned in 1993.
Ms. Finley made a motion to approve the request with 41’ right of way along Race Street. Mr. Baker seconded the motion with 6 in favor, 0 opposed. REQUEST APPROVED WITH STIPULATIONS.
#2 RZ94-2 Lucille Booth requested approval of rezoning from R-1 to C-3 and from R-1 to R-3 for Block D of the Spence Subdivision. The property is located on the southwest corner of Race Street and Spence Circle.
C-3 zoning is requested for the lot fronting on Race Street and R-3 for the back lots along Spence Circle.
A couple of property of owners from the surrounding subdivision expressed opposition to this rezoning. Most of the opposition was related to an existing drainage problem located on the southern portion of the subdivision that could possibly be worsened if action is not taken to correct it. It was also stated that there were already too many apartments in the area and they did not want to see any more coming in. There are several duplexes, triplexes and other multi-family units located on all streets in the subdivision. One owner stated that he would really like to get Spence Circle closed stating it is presently a gravel street and seldom used and he did not want the additional traffic in the area.
The owners of the property presented a skeleton drawing of what they were proposing to develop on the property proposed for zoning change to R-3 and further stated they would be checking into the drainage problem to see if that could be corrected.
Mr. McCracken moved to approve the request, seconded by Mr. Phillips. Six voted in favor, 0 opposed. REQUEST APPROVED.
#3 RP94-2 Lucille Boothe requested approval of a replat of Block D of Spence Subdivision. The property is located on the southwest corner of Race Street and Spence Circle.

2. Site plant for Lots 2, 3, and 4 should be submitted before development.
