SUMMARY:
Background:
Shortly after the Fife property was not rezoned for a Multi-family use Mr. Faz purchased the property from the Fifes. The Planning staff had numerous conversations with Mr. Faz and bank representatives about the existing mobile homes and their non-conformity. Mr. Faz purchased the property and then waited for 9 months before he came in and spoke to us about his preferred use of the property. He had to wait because the multi-family rezoning request was denied and the ordinance requires that a year must pass before a new request can be presented.
Request:
Mr. Faz has requested City Council approval to have a trailer court on lots 48 and 48A Old San Antonio Road (please see attachments 1-3). A trailer court is defined in the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
Trailer Court. Any premises designated for the purpose of parking travel trailers and recreational vehicles overnight or on a short term basis and providing public restrooms, temporary water and electrical hookups, and similar services.
Mr. Faz refers to his concept as a “boutique RV park” and has indicated that he wants to put no more than 15 RV rental spaces on the property, in addition to the existing mobile homes spaces that are currently in place.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held its public hearing and there was one speaker who spoke in favor of the request. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that City Council approve the request of Mr. Faz to have a trailer court on lots 48 and 48A Old San Antonio Road by a vote of 7-1 (draft minutes of the meeting were included with the rezoning request item).
Council wanted everyone to know that the existing non-conforming use are not going to be protected either with the zoning change or the trailer court use approval. That is absolutely the case any time one rents space or property from another when the lease expires the owner may request that you leave - no matter what zoning district.
We have attached a view of the entrance from Old San Antonio Road. After the rezoning to B-2, the Entrance Corridor will be applied and there will need to be landscaping put in to meet those requirements, so the property will be screened.
