The subject property is approximately 0.29 acres or 12,632 square feet in size. The existing structure is approximately 1,000 square feet in size, according to the Johnson County Appraisal District. This structure has been utilized over the years for various non-residential uses, including a church. It is the applicant’s intent to remodel the existing structure into a single family residential home. Prior to the start of the remodel, the zoning must be changed to a residential district and therefore it is the applicant’s request to rezone to the SF-4 District. In the immediate vicinity, there is a mixture of uses, including the railroad company to the north, currently zoned the M1 District. The property to the west is zoned and used for a single-family home and the property to the east is zoned the C1 District and is an existing church. The properties to the immediate south are similarly zoned the C1 District and are vacant parcels of land. Several blocks to the south, along Peacock Street, Robbins Street and Royal Street, there is a multitude of existing single-family homes. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows this property to be located in the City Center East District, whose purpose is to promote infill development with single-family development. The proposed rezone request is consistent with the intent of the City Center East District. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this request at their October 14, 2019 meeting and recommended approval by a vote of 4-0.

The applicant is proposing the base zoning of the SF-4 (Single-Family Dwelling District) with intent to construct single-family residential homes. The property is currently zoned M1 (Light Industrial District) and is surrounded by SF-4 (Single-Family Dwelling District) to the north and south, while the properties to the west and east are zoned M1 (Light Industrial District). The surrounding land use is primarily single-family residential, within several established neighborhoods including Preston Meadow to the north.

The property is currently unplatted and a preliminary plat and final plat are required for the development of the subject property. The applicant has submitted a preliminary plat to the City and it is currently under review. There are some engineering concerns related to drainage of the property that are currently being addressed. The site layout may potentially be affected based on said drainage requirements, however the applicant has indicated their intent to take the rezoning case forward for consideration. The Future Land Use Plan shows this property to be located in the Traditional Neighborhoods District, whose purpose is to support future growth with family oriented development in a traditional neighborhood context.
