PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 5 June 1985 1599-85 Northwestern District of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church Northwest Corner of Garden Avenue and Lexington Avenue Rezoning from R-1 to B-1 Variance to Parking Spaces 1. Attached is a copy of our report written for the 1 May meeting of the Planning Commission at which time the property in question was considered for amendment to the Comprehensive Plan from Low Density Residential to Limited Business land use. The City Council approved the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as requested. 2. At this stage, the application is for rezoning of the property from R-1 to B-1 and a request for a variance to the number, of parking spaces required for the proposed offi-I building. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan sets the Policy that the property may now be appropriate zoned for Limited Business use. Thus, at this point, the question is one of handling the use appropriately on the land and consideration of the variance. 3. The applicants have met with three of the contiguous neighbors to get their input regarding appropriate required screening where the business property will be contiguous to a residential zo.ie. Attached is a copy of a letter dated 21 May 1985 to the Planning Commission indicating the results of these meetings with the property owners. The landscaping plan has been adjusted to reflect the conditions desired by the contiguous neighbors. We would suggest that the Planning Commission in considering approval make the landscape plan subject to staff review. We suggest that additional landscaping may be appropriate, particularly on the north side of the building. Though the fence is located at the northwest corner of the site, the details of the fence have not been determined. We suggest that within the context of the neighbors desires, that an appropriate solution can be readily accomplished.
