Public Hearing - Zoning Request Z16-022 - Rezoning from LC & CBD to GC - 0.86 Acres - Land Lots 486 & 523 - 1239 Concord Road and 1200 & 1204 Medlin Street - DDP Concord, LLC
Body
ISSUE: DDP Yoga is requesting a rezoning of subject property from LC & CBD to GC for a more intensive use of the property beyond a video production studio. The rezoning would allow the property to be used for additional uses currently not covered under the LC zoning district. The additional uses would include: retail sales, instructional yoga and cooking classes and the rental of the facility for special events.

The development associated with Zoning Case Z08-001 never came to fruition and DDP Yoga purchased the lots in 2014.
