PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
No adverse comments have been received from any reviewing agency
concerning this request. It is expected that some neighborhood
comments will be forthcoming. Neighbors are quite concerned about
the truck traffic in the area and the potential impacts upon the
residential property by the continuing encroachment of industrial
uses into the neighborhood.
A driveway serving the dock area of the business located on Lot 10
(the triangular shaped lot) crosses the property to the north
which is part of this request. This drive was constructed when no
prohibition of taking access across differently zoned properties
existed.
;STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of zoning on the remainder of Lot 10 to
11
I-2," but staff also recommends denial of zoning of the north lot
to prevent establishment of a precedent to begin justification of
further encroachment into the residential property to the north.
PLANNING COMMISION ACTION:
The applicant was present, and there was one objector. The
discussion centered around an existing driveway which was approved
in accordance with existing regulations. After a Lengthy
discussion, the Commission moved to approve the application as
filed. The motion failed - 0 ayes, 10 noes 1 absent. The
commission in a second motion moved to approve zoning as per the
staff recommendation to convey "I-2" zoning on Lot 10 only. That
motion passed - 10 ayes, 0 noes, and 1 absent-
