--, ---- <br />potential rezoning seemed to be inconsistent with the wishes of the neighborhood. <br />Commissioner Gisselquist noted that Rice Street was a heavily-traveled <br />commercial district, and that the entire corridor would someday be commercial; at <br />this time, there remained enough uncertainty about potential future use that he <br />could not be confident voting far rezoning of the parcel. <br />Commissioner Gottfried spoke in support of the rezoning, based on <br />Comprehensive Plan guidance and tonight's discussion. Commissioner Gottfried <br />shared Chair poherty's confidence that tonight's discussion and areas of concern <br />had not been lost on City staff in their review and consideration of future <br />redevelopment projects for this parcel. Commissioner Gottfried opined that it <br />would be incredibly poor planning and development to have a commercial outlet <br />onto Wewer's Road; however, he recognized that there were no guarantees in <br />place. Relative to the Comprehensive Plan and zoning purposes, Commissioner <br />Gottfried opined that it made sense for this parcel to move toward commercial, <br />through B-3 designation. <br />MOTION <br />Member poherty moved, seconded by Member Wozniak to RECOMMEND <br />TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL of a REZONING of the property at <br />2587 Rice Street from the existing R-1 (Single-Family Residence) Zoning <br />District to the proposed B-3 (General Business) Zoning District; based on the <br />information and comments of Sections 5 and 6, and the conditions of Section <br />7 of the project report dated October 07, 2009. <br />Ayes: 3 (Gottfried, Wozniak, Doherty) <br />Nays: 1 (Gisselquist) <br />Motion carried. <br />Chair poherty noted that the case was scheduled to be heard by the City Council <br />at their October 26, 2009 meeting. <br />
