SUBJECT: Proposed Council - Initiated Zoning Changes for the Hemphill
.» Street Corridor from West Bewick Street to West Seminary Drive
The April 7 City Council agenda will contain an M &C to initiate the zoning process for the
Hemphill Street corridor from West Bewick Street to West Seminary Drive, which also lies south of
the Hemphill/Berry Urban Village. The purpose of the proposed zoning changes is to rezone
residential and non- residential property to zoning classifications that reflect the prevailing land use.
For your reference, the attached PowerPoint presentation shows the future land use from the 2009
Comprehensive Plan, the current zoning, and the proposed zoning. Council Member Burns would
like to initiate rezoning of these areas in response to neighborhood concerns.
An informational meeting for the Hemphill Street corridor was held on February 19, 2009, which was
attended by area property owners and staff. At this meeting, the property owners expressed support
for the proposed zoning changes. No opposition has been noted to date.
Public hearings for the rezoning of these properties would be held by the Zoning Commission on
May 13, 2009 and by the City Council on June 2, 2009.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and Development
Director, at 817 - 392 -8018.
