FACTUAL INFORMATION
September 25, 1979
Item 4
1. NEED AND/OR DEMAND
The applicant has filed a plat indicating plans to develop
an 80 unit multifamily project. In effect, this request
merely clarifies the zoning in this area by downzoning a
parcel from "E -1-A" to "MF -24" in order to bring the entire
parcel into continuity with neighboring parcels.
2. COMPATIBILITY
The request is compatible with existing plans and existing
development within the area.
3. EFFECT ON ENVIRONS
No adverse impacts are expected.
4. NEIGHBORHOOD POSITION
No adverse neighborhood position has been brought to the
attention of Staff.
5. PUBLIC SERVICES/EFFECT ON
No adverse comments have been received.
6. UTILITIES/EFFECT ON
No adverse comments have been received.
7. EFFECT ON PUBLIC FINANCES
Some enhancement of the tax base can be expected.
8. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/REASONABLENESS
The zoning requested will permit no development which could
not be accomplished under the existing zoning on the
property. A development proposal now under review indicates
a number of units well below the density permitted in the
requested zoning district.
9. STANDARDS OF QUALITY
No standards of quality have been addressed by the
applicant.

Item No. 4 - Continued
10. TRAFFIC AND STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY CONSIDERATION
No right-of-way issues attend this case. However, traffic
considerations may prove important. As presently planned,
Brookside Drive would be an arterial street fronting along
this property. There is, however, a movement afoot to
abandon the proposed improvement of Brookside between
Markham Street and Reservoir Road, which if approved, may
have significant ramifications for the future development
potential of this area.
ANALYSIS:
The requested zoning change will serve to clarify the zoning map
and will have no significant effect upon the development of this
area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval.
COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present and there were no objectors. After a
brief discussion, the Commission moved to approve the application
as filed. The motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 noes and 5 absent.
