Request by Karim Dadelahi to rezone from "A" (Single Family Residential) and "F" (Light Industry) to "E" (General Business) to construct a convenience store/gas station.  Being a 1 acre tract out of Blocks 2,3, Subdivision "W", Kohfeldt's Re-subdivision.  Located at 615 Hwy. 3.

This rezoning request came before the Zoning Commission on January 15, 2019 for a Public Hearing.  There was a petition of opposition presented to the Zoning Commission members and property owners present who spoke in opposition.  After hearing all pertinent  information the rezoning request was unanimously approved. 

There is a provision in the zoning ordinance regarding a three-fourths favorable vote by City Commission to approve when there is opposition equaling 20% of the surrounding property owners within 200' of the subject property.  In this case the opposition from surrounding property owners calculates to approximately 11% of the property within 200' of the subject.
