Good afternoon, commissioners. So we did do a brief summary. So which prohibits expansion of nonconforming structures and prohibits its reconstruction in the event of total destruction. The goal is to ensure that the property owners are better positioned to sell refinance and expand their properties in the future, choose should they choose to do so. Hold a public hearing and consider a city initiated request on behalf of six property owners. Case numbers Z2601 to rezone approximately 1.18 acres, being lot one, one through two, four to seven and block one Wanda Park from B5 Business District to R2, two family residential district. The subject properties are locally addressed as 1810, 1814, 1906, 1910, 1914, and 2002 Wood Avenue. This is the location map, and the red star is the approximate location of where the properties are located. All the lots in the Wanda Park subdivision were annexed into the city limits on September 10, 1951. And staff is unable to determine the property zoning date. And so this are the properties, and they're surrounded by the blue line. And so to the north of the properties, they're zoned R2, and then there's B5 to the south, and to the east, there is a um sorry, religious institution, and then to the west is B5. These properties are located within the infield and enhance area on the growth sector map and designated as traditional neighborhood on the future land use map of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. These properties are located within the City of Clean Development Zone number one, and this development zone is north of Veterans Memorial Boulevard and west of North WS Young Drive. This development zone consists of 66.38 residential uses and 33.17% commercial uses. This is the aerial of the properties, and they're in the pink.

And this is view facing north towards Middleton Street from Wood Avenue. All six property owners were notified. Staff notify property owners of 72 surrounding properties regarding this request, and staff has not received any written responses. And so the existing single family and two-family residential structures are considered legal and conforming, and the surrounding area includes residential and commercial properties as well as a religious institution. Staff finds that the request is consistent with the recommendations of the Clean 2040 Comprehensive Plan. And staff recommends approval of the request to rezone from B5 to R2. Any questions.
