SITE DATA
Location Description:
This is a request to allow a Professional Office as a legal land use within the existing house at 200 East Swallow Road. The request is to use 100% of the house for a Professional Office versus the 50% which is allowed under the Home Occupation License. Professional Office is defined as: “an office for professionals such as physicians, dentists, lawyers, architects, engineers, artists, musicians, designers, teachers, accountants or others who through training are qualified to perform services of a professional nature and where no storage or sale of merchandise exists.” The house is 2,782 square feet and located on a lot that is 9,821 square feet and part of Thunderbird Estates.
The request for a Professional Office at 200 E. Swallow Road will be considered as an Addition of Permitted Use in conjunction with a Minor Amendment. This is not a request to rezone the property to a higher classification of zone district where Professional Office is a use by right. Instead, as an Addition of Permitted Use, the underlying zoning would remain Low Density Residential (R-L) but only Professional Office would be added as an allowable land use, and no other uses, over and above the permitted uses in the R-L. Currently, 50% of the house is being used as a Home Occupation. The applicant has held the two required neighborhood information meetings.
