PARKS:
FILE NO.: LU99-11-01
There are no existing parks in the immediate areas.
BACKGROUND:
At the time of the John Barrow Neighborhood plan, there was not
as much demand for office in the area; therefore this site was
changed to Single Family.
Single Family homes lie across Aldersgate Road to the east.
Concerns have arisen over the massing, siting, landscaping and
buffering of these structures to make them softer and more
compatible with those single family residences.
NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN:
This area is covered by the John Barrow Neighborhood plan: In
that plan, it states as a goal "to enhance the climate towards
encouraging new businesses and commercial establishments..."
preferably medical oriented. This proposal appears that it
could be medical support services.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations:
Spring Valley Manor Property Owners Assoc., Parkway Place N.A.
and Gibraltar/Pt. West/Timber Ridge. Staff has not received any
comments from area residents as of this printing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change is appropriate.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(MARCH 4, 1999)
Brian Minyard, of Staff, presented the item to the commission.
Short discussion followed. A motion was made to approve the
change and was passed with a vote of 7 ayes, 2 noes and
2 absent.
