<br />3.0 PROJECT REVIEW <br /> <br />3.1 Dr. Changzhen Gong has proposed interior remodeling and changing the uses to office, clinic, <br />and classrooms. Classes will be for no more than 20 at one time. <br /> <br />3.2 There will be no construction or expansion outside of the existing building walls. <br /> <br />4.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS <br /> <br />4.1 Staff has determined that rezoning the property to a zoning designation consistent with the <br />Comprehensive Land Use Plan is necessary to appropriately deal with the clinic and classroom <br />space. <br /> <br />4.2 Through review of the Zoning Ordinance, staff has determined that the zoning designation that <br />best suits the property and its proposed use as an office, clinic, and classroom facility is the B-3 <br />zone, General Business. <br /> <br />4.3 Because of the change in zoning from 1-1 to B-3, staff has reviewed setbacks and other related <br />zoning issues and concluded that the building appears to meets setbacks for a B-3 zone (no as- <br />built survey is available). <br /> <br />4.4 Staff requested the applicants to provide parking space documentation. The City parking <br />requirements state that a 16,000 s.f. office (with an additional 2,000 s.f. of storage) building <br />would require 81 parking spaces. There are 46 parking spaces on the site. However, along with <br />the Windsor Office Plaza building to the west, the two sites share over 350 parking spaces and <br />access drives on the combined 5.82 acre site. Parking does not appear to be a problem. <br /> <br />4.5 Granting of the rezoning will bring the structure into conformance with the Comprehensive <br />Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance, assuming no setback issues are found in the as-built <br />site survey. <br /> <br />5.0 POLICY & FISCAL IMPLICATIONS <br /> <br />5.1 The property is located in Planning District 10. The District is comprised of 44.5% industrial <br />land designations, 27.5% commercial land, and 5.2% public land in addition to 21.6% right of <br />way. It is the largest commercial/industrial district in the city. The area along County Road B-2 <br />was most recently (Tower Place Plan) planned for the expansion of the B-3 types of uses <br />because of the concentration of retail and office uses to the east and south; and because it was <br />unlikely that larger industrial users would be a complimentary use adjoining the existing B-3 <br />uses. <br /> <br />5.2 The proposal is consistent with the City Tower Place Plan. <br /> <br />5.3 No fiscal implications are apparent. <br /> <br />PF33 18 - RCA (06260 I) Page 2 of 3 <br />
