important to consider how the change would affect the entire zone instead of one specific property. If approved as proposed, boarding houses could, in theory, be a permitted use through a PUD process on any property in the B-2 Zone. However, the ordinance amendment could require that in order for a boarding house use to be approved, it would have to be located in an existing hotel/motel use within the district. This regulation could effectively limit this type of use to the proposed property. 2. Zoning Regulations This application is unique because the request is regarding the use of a building and site that are already developed. The typical evaluation as to whether or not the proposed plan meets the minimum requirements of the Zoning Code is more difficult given that there are certain aspects of the site that cannot reasonably be altered, such as the setbacks of the building. That being said there are certain reasonable improvements that can be required for the property given the nature of the PUD process and the City's broad discretion when reviewing requests for amendments to the Zoning Code. Lot 2 has been presented as a conceptual site plan. The conceptual site plan shown does not meet the minimum requirements of the B-2 District in terms of site design; however, at the time Lot 2 is actually developed, an approved Master and Final PUD will be necessary to evaluate the details of the development plan.
