PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING: Application of Ehrlich Properties LLC to rezone
property located at the corner of W. 32od Street and North Grandview Avenue from R-1
Single-Family Residential Zoning District to R-4 Multi-Family Residential Zoning District.
Rick Ehrlich, 558 Mill Run Ct., represented Ehrlich Properties LLC. He explained the
proposal to rezone the property from R-1 to R-4 and that he would like to build an 8 to
12-unit apartment building.
Linda & Ike Lasoya, 808 Spires Drive, owners of an 8-plex apartment building across N.
Grandview Avenue, both stated that they were opposed to the request due to storm
water runoff issues. She noted that the Carter Detention Basin relieved some of the
prior issues, but this development wnuld undo the progress the city has made in that
regard.
Rick Ehrlich rebutted those comments, stating that the parcels are currently zoned R-1
with room for about 9 single-family rental dwellings and that an 8-12 unit apartment

building would have less storm water runoff. He also noted that the floodplain makes it
more difficult to place multiple buildings and an apartment building would be a better fit.
Assistant Planner Wally Wernimont presented the staff report noting the history of the
property with respect to zoning regulations, off-street parking requirements,
characteristics of the site and flood plain regulations. He informed the commission that
a good portion of the property was outside of the floodplain. Staff noted that, if
approved, a site plan will be required to be submitted and would be reviewed by city
departments (Planning, Building, Fire, Water, Engineering, etc.) to ensure compliance
with the Unified Development Code, Building and Fire Codes and SUDAS (Statewide
Urban Design and Specifications). In addition, storm water controls will be reviewed in
detail as part of the site plan if the subject property is successfully rezoned.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request and found it appropriate.
Motion by Christ, seconded by Russell, to approve the rezoning request from R-1
Single-Family Residential Zoning District to R-4 Multi-Family Residential Zoning District.
