FACTUAL INFORMATION
February 26, 1980
Item 2A
1. NEED AND/OR DEMAND
The applicant has stated the intention to construct an
unspecified commercial business at this location.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH MUNICIPAL PLANS
A long-standing community plan and a newer CDBG plan
for this area call for the commercial development to be
contained in the area now zoned for commercial use and
near the intersection of Barrow Road and 36th Street.
A commercial zone on the northeast corner of Barrow and
33rd was placed there in opposition to the
long-standing plan.
3. EFFECT ON ENVIRONS
Since the development proposed is unspecified, staff
was unable to evaluate environmental impacts to be
anticipated.
4. NEIGHBORHOOD POSITION
The John Barrow CDBG Committee has formally expressed
opposition to the request.
5. PUBLIC SERVICES/EFFECT ON
No particular adverse impact is expected.
6. UTILITIES/EFFECT ON
No adverse comments have been received.
7. EFFECT ON PUBLIC FINANCES
No adverse fiscal impact is anticipated.
8. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/REASONABLENESS
The property immediately north of this property is
Zoned "C-3" and developed in that manner. The area
around 36th Street, which has for a long time been
zoned for commercial use, remains mostly vacant. The
remaining area around this property is zoned "R-3"
Single Family.

9. STANDARDS OF QUALITY
No standards of quality have been addressed.
10. TRAFFIC AND STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY
Barrow Road is planned as a major arterial to be
widened to four lanes. The right-of-way will be
required from the owner on both Barrow and 33rd Street.
He has agreed to provide the needed dedication
easement. There is a site distance problem for
traffic trying to enter Barrow Road from 33rd Street,
which must be considered with this application.
ANALYSIS
Repeated meetings between the applicant and the John Barrow
CDBG Neighborhood Committee have resulted in no change from
the original committee position which was to recommend that
this application be denied.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial.
COMMISSION ACTION:
The Commission suggested, because of the many deferrals,
that they would prefer to send the application to the Board
without a recommendation. However, it was pointed out that
this probably would not be a suitable solution if any other
solution were possible. The Commission members then present
voted unanimously to suspend the procedural requirements of
the bylaws wherein they would have to provide six votes to
deny the application. They then, after a lengthy discussion
relative to the merits of the case, made a motion to approve
the application as filed. The motion failed on a vote of 2
ayes, 4 noes and 5 absent, and it was declared to have been
denied so that it could be appealed to the Board of
Directors.
