Title
Potential Rezoning of PIN #172115000015: Property Zoned Agricultural at E 102nd Avenue and Alton Street.
Body
Summary and Background Information:
The subject property is currently owned by the city and zoned Agricultural. The purpose of this council study session is to explore a city initiated rezoning of the property, in order to potentially allow marijuana uses to occur in the vicinity. The request was initiated by a property owner in the area, who wanted to use his property for marijuana uses. Land Development Code Section 21-5249(b), retail marijuana sales are not allowed on properties within 500 feet of property zoned agricultural, and retail cultivation is not allowed on properties within 1,000 feet.
The subject property was annexed as part of cases AN-118-92 and AN-119-92, and zoned from ADCO A-3 to Commerce City AG in case Z-565-92. The vacant property was deeded to the city in November of 1991, and according to case research was not specifically given to the city for any particular use.
Rezoning the subject property to Public would open up a total of 14 previously ineligible properties to be used for marijuana retail sales or cultivation. The attached exhibits show a map of these properties, and a list of the business licensing information for each of the 14 properties.
