The site is zoned B-1, limited business and B-2 retail business based on historical <br />uses of the property. Surrounding zoning is residential or limited business. <br />Surrounding uses are limittd business, commercial recreation, public rt:Creation <br />and residential. <br /> <br />4. The adopted comprehensive plan and amendments provide gu,delines [Q ensure <br />the plaIU1ed, orderly and staged development and redevelopment of the area <br />consistent with the plan recommendations for the entire area prepared by the <br />James Addition Task Force. <br /> <br />5. The proposed conditional use permit is inconsistent with the zoning and plan in <br />that no form of auto service facility is a permitted or conditional usc in any LB <br />planning district and para1lel B.1 zoning district. Therefore, the application is <br />inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />6. The limited business. resideJ\rial or mixed use designation emphasizes <br />compatibility with the neighborhood. A B-2 retail use anraCts activities <br />incompatible with the neighborhood interest. <br /> <br />7. Traffic generated from comparably sized uses in a retail versus a limited business <br />district are two to three times grearcr exposing !he neighborhood to unnecessary <br />additional outside traffic incompatible with local circulation and traffic objectives. <br /> <br />8. The proposed site plan screens, fences and separates the parcel from adjacent <br />parcels and the public park. Rather than building on the neighborhoods assets, <br />it seeks to separatc itself from the neighborhood negatively impacting on the <br />property values of the area. <br /> <br />9. The proposed auto service installation/accessory facility negatively affects the <br />public health. safety and welfare of the area, impacting propeny values by failing <br />to integrate with the community, adding traffic beyond that anticipated by <br />neighborhood related uses, creating safety problems related to its incompatibility, <br />and endangering the health and safety of residenl~ and children by separating and <br />fencing the site from the adjacent community park. <br />
