This ordinance rezones approximately 1.04 acres at 6926 Garden Street from Commercial, Residential and Office (CRO) to Commercial Neighborhood (CN) zoning. The property owner, Joel Arreguin-Aguilar, applied for this change to allow for the construction of a convenience store. The Planning Department recommends approval, finding the rezoning consistent with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan and compatible with surrounding land uses, including nearby residential areas and a church. The rezoning is permissible under the existing Residential Professional Institutional (RPI) land use category without requiring a land use amendment. The ordinance specifies that this rezoning does not exempt the property from other applicable laws and regulations. Public hearings were held by the Land Use and Zoning (LUZ) Committee and the Planning Commission.

This rezoning allows for a new convenience store at 6926 Garden Street, potentially increasing local commercial options. The change is considered compatible with the existing neighborhood character.
