TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Kelly Nieforth, Director of Community Development DATE: December 10, 2024 SUBJECT: *Ord 24-672 Approve Zone Change from Institutional (I) District to Urban Mixed Use District (UMU) for Part of 240 Algoma Boulevard (Plan Commission Recommends Approval)

BACKGROUND

The subject property, Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Shelter, recently relocated to 240 Algoma Boulevard from its previous location at 206 Algoma Boulevard. Nick Jenson, owner of 141 Church Avenue (Edward Jones Investments), approached Christine Ann about purchasing a small portion of 240 Algoma Boulevard. This area is to be combined with his property at 141 Church Avenue via Certified Survey Map. This will provide vehicular access to the back of his property. The two properties are located within two different zoning districts, with 240 Algoma Boulevard being I District and 141 Church Avenue being UMU District. The Zoning Ordinance prohibits split-zoned parcels so the area being combined with 141 Church Avenue needs to be rezoned to UMU District, matching the rest of the property. The surrounding area has predominantly institutional and governmental uses with a scattering of commercial and low-density residential uses. This is all consistent with the Center City land use recommendation indicated in the City’s Comprehensive Plan.

ANALYSIS

The proposed zone change from I District to UMU District will be 2,029 square feet in area, approximately 98 feet long and 20 feet wide. This will enable 141 Church Avenue to attach this area with the rest of the property as it will be entirely within the UMU District. The proposed zone change is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation of Center City for the subject site. A Certified Survey Map has been submitted to the City for review. The lots show the configuration of 141 Church Avenue and 240 Algoma Boulevard after the zone change and land transfer as proposed.

RECOMMENDATION

The Plan Commission recommended approval of the requested zone change with the findings on December 3, 2024. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more information.
