Summary

This item concerns a zoning map amendment for a 1.02-acre property at 2520 Hemphill Street. The request is to change the zoning from "E" Neighborhood Commercial to "PD/E" Planned Development. This change will allow for all uses permitted in "E" Neighborhood Commercial, with specific exclusions including convenience stores, gasoline sales, and liquor or package stores. Additionally, it permits automotive repair, with the condition that repairs are conducted adjoining a residential district boundary. The applicant, Vaquero Hemphill Partners LLP / Bright Bay Investments / Mary Nell Poole, plans to redevelop a former Dollar General store into a tire sales, service, and light automotive repair facility. All repairs will occur indoors within seven service bays, with no outdoor storage. The Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 11-0. The proposed use is considered compatible with surrounding commercial uses and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's designation of Neighborhood Commercial.

Citizen Impact

This zoning change will allow for the establishment of a light automotive repair shop in a previously commercial space. Residents can expect new vehicle maintenance services in the area, with all operations conducted indoors.
