City Code identifies "dry cleaning service facilities located within a building or mall with a minimum of ten thousand (10,000) square feet floor space" as a permitted use in a 8-4 zoning district. " !.. " . 2.5 Although the rezoning is being proposed in order to accommodate a specific tenant, all uses allowed in a B-4 zoning district would be allowed on this parcel if the rezoning is approved. A matrix comparing permitted, accessory, and conditional uses in B-2, 8-4, and S-C zoning districts are attached. In addition to dry cleaning service facilities, other uses permitted in a 8-4 district which are not allowed as permitted uses in a B-2 zoning district include: motels and motor hotels (CUP in B-2); mortuaries (CUP in B-2); health clubs, gymnasiums and swimming pools (CUP in B-2); bowling alleys when accompanied by a traditional restaurant; blueprinting and photocopying establishments; catering establishments; clothing and costume rental shops; linen, towels, draperies and similar supply services; orthopedic and medical appliance stores; pet shop (CUP in 8-2); recording studios; and manufacture of electronic equipment and medical instrumentation devices. Uses allowed as a conditional use in a B-4 zoning district which are not allowed as a permitted or conditional use in a B-2 zoning district include: office service buildings; tires, batteries and automotive accessory stores; building, plumbing, electrical contractors headquarters; limited wholesale business; printing shops; and rental and leasing of small vehicles. There are also several uses which are allowed as a conditional use within a B-2 zoning district which are not allowed in a 8-4 zoning district. By rezoning the property to B-4, the owner would be giving up the option of locating the following uses on this site: amusements establishments; automobile sales (new only); boat showrooms; fuel and ice sales; newspaper and magazine stands; commercial auto washing; camping trailer sales; snowmobile sales; dog kennels; and food take-out or self-service restaurants. 2.6 The minimum set backs, maximum building height, and maximum floor area ratios would also change if the property is rezoned to a B-4 Retail Office Service. A matrix comparing these requirements for B-2, B-4, and S-C zoning districts is also attached. Of particular concern for this property given its proximity to residential uses is that there is neither a maximum floor area ratio nor a maximum building height in a B-4 zoning district. 2.7 The change in zoning to B-4, and any subsequent change in use, may also have an impact on this area. These impacts include: increased noise such as automobile noise and machine noise; increased traffic on site as well as adjacent to the site; need for additional parking: and need for improved traffic circulation on site. 2.8 Chapter 1015 of the City Code outlines the procedure for amendments to the Zoning Code, including the rezoning of specific properties.
