Background:
BAZ-2031 is a request to change the zoning designation on 0.30-acres located one-third mile west of 9th Street (Lynn Lane/177th E. Avenue), south of Jasper Street (131st Street) at 8300 S. 4th Street. The property is presently zoned RM (Residential Multifamily). The RM zoning was approved by the City Council on January 17, 1972, as part of BAZ-307, which was part of four rezoning applications in the area.

As a result, the single family detached use on the property is classified as a "Legal Nonconforming Use".
Applicant is in the process of selling their home. As part of the mortgage survey for the buyer, the surveyor checked the zoning on the property and discovered that it was zoned "RM" and that the existing house was a legal nonconforming use.
