• PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 4 January 1984 American Redevelopers, Inc. North of County Road B-2, Opposite Rosedale Center Rezoning from R-1 to SC (Shopping Center) Variance to Setback Requirement Approval of Development Plan BACKGROUND 1. This property consisting of 11.37 acres, owned by Northwest Unit Investment Company (known in previous proceedings as Mary Offenson's Northwest Tennis Clubs) was originally zoned Commercial in 1952 when it was acquired by Allied Stores (owners of Donaldson's Department Stores in this area). In 1959 when the City was rezoned the land, which then included the developed land to the southwest and the Rosedale Shopping Center site was zoned SC, Shopping Center District. The original zoning in 1952 left the easterly portion of this site in a "Class A" residential zone (single family). When the rezoning was done in 1959, the easterly 165 feet was left in the new R-1 (Single Family) Zone. This generally conformed to the original area remaining single family. The 165 feet was left so that it would have been possible to develop residential lots on the west side of Fry Street. 30 feet would have been dedicated for the westerly half of Fry Street (not only 30 feet in width), leaving 135 feet for lot depth. 135 feet times 85 feet of frontage equals the minimum lot requirement of 11,000 square feet. 2. In August of 1976, the Planning Commission and Council approved a develop- ment plan for the site submitted by Northwest Tennis Clubs for a retail and athletic club structure which placed the structure within 100 feet of the east property line. That structure was placed 50 feet from the north property line. Thus, the easterly 65 feet of that building was in a residential zone. That was allowable inasmuch as an athletic club is a special use in the R-1 District. 3. The current plan is based on the same setback criteria as was established in the approval of the athletic club and retail structure approved in 1976. This building is also placed 100 feet from the easterly property line, but is located 100 feet fromthe north property (50 feet greater than the previously approved plan). Because portions of the building on the easterly 65 feet of the structure are utilized for theatres and retail uses, in this case, it will be necessary to rezone the easterly 65 feet from R-1 to Shopping Center District. The remaining easterly 100 feet of this site is proposed to remain in the R-1 District with the reduction from the required setback to 0 feet.
