PARTICIPATION
BACKGROUND
A Land Use Plan amendment in the Arch Street Planning
District from Single Family and Park/Open Space to
Commercial on either side of Dixon Road at Arch Street Pike;
Single Family to Park/Open Space for a 75' buffer along Old
Castle Street west of Arch Street Pike; and from Single Family
to Commercial in an area north of Vinson Road west of Arch
Street Pike.
Current Land Use shows Single Family in the England Acres
subdivision east of Arch Street Pike and north of Dixon Road.
To the west, across Arch Street Pike, is a large tract of
Industrial that extends south. A node of Commercial is located
on either side of Vinson Road at the intersection of Arch Street
Pike. Single Family is to the west of the Commercial and
Industrial and extends between the two. On the east side of
Arch Street Pike is Park/Open Space. Single Family is north of
Dixon Road and Mining is to the south. There is no zoning in
this area.
BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
A logical place to have Commercial is at the intersection of a
Principal Arterial and two collectors (Arch Street Pike, Ironton
Cutoff and Dixon Road) as it is at the intersection of minor and
principal arterials (Arch Street Pike and Vinson Road). At the
intersection of Arch Street Pike, Dixon and Ironton Cutoff there
is a history of commercial uses. It is logical to place a node of
Commercial to recognize the three corners. At Vinson and
Arch Street Pike, it is the intent to acknowledge the existing
uses by extending the commercial node northerly to recognize
the auto repair, grocery, food service, and other uses.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE LAND USE PLAN
(16,222) IN THE ARCH STREET PLANNING
DISTRICT FROM SINGLE FAMILY AND
PARK/OPEN SPACE TO COMMERCIAL AND PARK
OPEN SPACE AND FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO
COMMERCIAL; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF
