3.0 STAFF C T <br /> 3.1 In reviewing this request, staff has made the following findings-, <br /> I. The City's Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Business. <br /> 2. The property is currently zoned B-2 Retail Business. <br /> 3. The proposed rezoning of the property to B-4 Retail office Service will allow <br /> the relocation of Grand Cleaners to this shopping center; however, it will also <br /> allow other uses which may not be appropriate given the proximity to <br /> residential properties. <br /> 4. The proposed rezoning to B4 may have an adverse impact on the public <br /> health, safety, or general welfare. <br /> 4,0 AL TERNA Tf <br /> 4.1 In reviewing this request, several alternatives for accommodating Grand Cleaners <br /> on this property were identified and researched: <br /> ® Grand Cleaners could operate the service portion of its business on this site <br /> without a change in zoning; however, the processing portion of the business <br /> would have to be located in an appropriate zoning district. The operator of <br /> Grand Cleaners has indicated that this is not a viable option from his <br /> perspective. <br /> 2. Grand Cleaners cannot operate both the service and processing portions of <br /> its business at his location within the existing B-2 district. Granting a <br /> variance is not an option because use variances are prohibited by State <br /> Statute. In addition, granting an interim use permit for a fully-developed <br /> property would be a de-facto use variance. <br /> 3. Lexington Plaza could be rezoned and designated as a mixed-use planned <br /> unit development. Through the use of a P U D, specific permitted uses could <br /> be defined which would be compatible with and have a minimal impact on <br /> the area. <br /> STAFF RECQAIM.END <br /> ATI <br /> Based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1 of this report, staff recommends nc t <br /> using n g the standard rezoning of a 6.5 acre parcel from a B-2, Retail Business District, <br /> to a <br /> B-4 Retail Office Service District, but rather consider this project as Phase l of <br /> an overall p lanned unit development that will be finalized within one year. <br /> P F# 990- FICA(03/23198) - Page 3 of 5 <br />
