Compare staff's alternate recommendation for motor vehicle sales rezoning
Applies if: You are the applicant or considering a similar vehicle sales use on this site
Why now: Staff recommends Denial with an Alternate Recommendation on the request to rezone the south 115.5 feet of Lot 5, Block 35, NCB 10716 at 3460 Martin Luther King Drive from R-4 to C-2 CD, and the case appeared at both the 10/06 and 10/20 Zoning Commission hearings.
What to do: Obtain the staff report and pin down what the Alternate Recommendation allows versus the full request for commercial zoning with a conditional use for motor vehicle sales. If your plans depend on the full request, the alternate could make the site infeasible for a car lot.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why staff opposes car dealership rezoning but offers alternative
Why now: Staff recommends Denial with an Alternate Recommendation in both listings, and the 10/20 item is marked as continued from 10/06 for a site carrying Martindale Army Air Field lighting overlay designations (MLOD-3, MLR-1).
What to do: Find out what the Alternate Recommendation is and what drove the Denial recommendation, including the military lighting overlay. Also ask why the case was continued from 10/06 and whether the applicant changed the request.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Check what car lot rezoning means for your street
Why now: The request changes the south 115.5 feet of the lot from R-4 Residential Single-Family to C-2 commercial with a conditional use for Motor Vehicle Sales; Joel Vela (Development Services, 210-207-0237) is the listed contact, and the case was continued from 10/06 to 10/20.
What to do: If you live near 3460 Martin Luther King Drive, ask the planning coordinator what the conditional use for motor vehicle sales would permit, and what the alternate recommendation would limit. The lot is currently zoned single-family residential, so a commercial use would be a new neighbor.
Act before: After the next material record update
