The Garden Homes Addition neighborhood is a stable area of

lots and few non -occupied structures. Even though the
neighborhood is totally surrounded by industrial uses, this
neighborhood has retained a sense of place and community.
The Lot 5 is currently zoned R-3 and Lot 6 is currently zoned
R-5. Both are shown as Single Family on the Land Use Plan.
To the north, also shown as single family on the Land Use Plan,
are lots 2,3 and 4, which are zoned I-3. This application is on
the northeast corner of a Single Family island that is totally
surrounded by Industrial uses, both on the Land Use Plan and
by the zoning pattern. This area was last Reviewed in the I-30
Plan adopted in December 1987.
15'' Street and Fletcher Street are shown as Principal Arterials
on the Master Street Plan. This is a continuation of I-630 to the
airport. Boyce, 16`h, and 17'h Streets are local streets.
