From: Donna Glenz, Associate Planner d
Agenda Item: Rezone of Lots 2, 4 and 5, Block 2, Oceanview
Subdivision, located on the West side of Third Avenue
between Van Buren and D Streets, from Single Family
Residential (R1) to Auto Commercial (AC)
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Attached for the City Council's review and adoption is Ordinance 2010 - , amending the
City of Seward Zoning Map by rezoning Lots 2, 4 and 5, Block 2, Oceanview
Subdivision, from Single Family (R1) to Auto Commercial (AC) (see attached maps).
The applicants are requesting this rezone in order to provide zoning suitable for possible
future business uses as allowed within the Auto Commercial Zoning District and to bring
the lots into conformance with the Land Use Plan.
The Third Avenue corridor is largely commercial, which is reflected in the Land Use
Plan. The older single family structures located on Lots 2, 4 and 5 are allowed to remain
as single family homes but can be developed for light commercial purposes under a
rezone to Auto Commercial.
The parcel to the North contains the Seward Plumbing business and is currently zoned
Central Business District. The parcels to the East, located across Third Avenue contain
Bayside Apartment complex currently zoned Auto Commercial and No Sweatt Auto
zoned Central Business district. Located to the South are a privately owned lot and
structure and the Seaman's Mission at the corner of Third and D Street, both are currently
zoned Auto Commercial. The parcels to the West across the alley are zoned Single
Family Residential and generally contain single family homes.
Seward City Code SCC § 15.01.035, Amendments, (b) (3) allows the consideration of this
rezone because the land is contiguous to the requested Auto Commercial Zoning District
in both the East and South and is recommended by the Land Use Plan.
The Land Use Map, as adopted by the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, designates the area
requested for rezone as Auto Commercial (AC) as defined in SCC 15.05.025 (b)( (8)
Auto Commercial district (AC). Intended to provide areas to accommodate highway -
oriented commercial activities such as offices, certain institutional uses, and limited
personal services and retail uses requiring substantial outdoor activity, traffic and
0
c
parking, and which also serve the offices and nearby residential areas, and which do not
materially detract from nearby residential areas. Development requirements for the Auto
Commercial District were fully discussed with the applicant.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of
Procedures.
INTENT: Rezone of Lots 2, 4 and 5, Block 2, Oceanview Subdivision, located on the
