ITEM NO.: 1 Cont. FILE NO.: LU06-08-01
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change is appropriate.
LANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 19, 2006)
Walter Malone, Planning Staff reviewed the two areas of land use change and
noted there are more areas of rezoning. The northwest area had been proposed
before for a change to Public Institutional (in 2002), but the then owner
requested the area remain Single Family. The hospital now owns the property.
Their plan calls for the area to be office support uses for the hospital. The
surrounding area is all owned by the Hospital and is currently used for parking.
The southeast area is next to the old West Side Junior High, which is currently
residential with some office use (related to Children's). The hospital plan calls
for this area to be 'transition'. The general area is for uses related to research
done at the hospital. Across Daisy Bates are single-family and duplexes. This
area is seeing some reinvestment. Daisy Bates is also the entrance to Central
High. The type of use and massing is important. The City would like to see the
hospital find uses for this property, which will be advantageous to both the
hospital, and neighborhood, both can use. Staff does support both changes.
Mr. Malone turned the presentation over to Monte Moore to address the
re -zoning to 0-2 Office and Institutional District. See item 1.1 for a complete
review of the discussion of this item. There was significant discussion about
notice, and where it was proper. A motion was made to defer the item. By a
vote of 2 for 9 against the motion failed. Further discussion followed. A second
motion to approve the Land Use Plan change was made. By a vote of 11 for
0 against the request was approved.
