A Zone Map Amendment (Rezoning) to change the zoning of the property located at 35 East Ramona Avenue from R-5/SS-O (Multi-Family High with Streamside Overlay) to MX-M/CR/SS-O (Mixed-Use Medium Scale with Condition of Record and Streamside Overlay).

The site has an approved Use Variance from 2004 that allows as a single commercial use an Interior Design Studio.
