Ordinance No. 14-102 amending the Zoning Map of the City of Colorado Springs relating to .41 acres located at 2207 and 2213 Bott Avenue
(Quasi-Judicial Matter)
Body
From:
Peter Wysocki, Planning and Development Director, Planning and Development Department
Summary:
This project includes concurrent applications for a minor amendment to the Midland Master Plan, a zone change, and a concept plan for a 0.41-acre parcel located along the south side of Bott Avenue and approximately mid-block between 22nd and 23rd Streets.
The minor master plan amendment proposes to change the land use from "low density residential" to "commercial-office". The rezoning request is to change the existing zoning from R-2 (Two-family Residential) and M-1 (Light Industrial) to C-5/cr (General Commercial with conditions of record).
Pursuant to City Code, a zone change must be accompanied by either a concept plan (which provides a conceptual layout of how the property is intended to be developed) or a development plan. In this case, the applicant has not finalized the design of the project and has filed a concept plan. The concept plan demonstrates a 2,340 square-foot restaurant with outdoor patio and off-street parking.
Previous Council Action:
Not applicable.

The existing land uses along Bott Avenue appear to have remained largely unchanged since the adoption of the master plan. L...
