NEED AND/OR DEMAND The applicant intends to sell this property to the adjacent owner for the expansion of the existing office complex. 2. COMPATIBILITY WITH MUNICIPAL PLANS The established eastern boundary of the nonresidential development along University Avenue has been drawn along the alley separating this property from the residential development to the east. The existing zoning would permit redevelopment of this site at a fairly high intensity for multifamily residential use. Given the existing street system and surrounding land uses, it is expected that the proposed zoning would produce less of an impact than the existing zoning. 3. EFFECT ON ENVIRONS No adverse environmental impact is anticipated. 4. NEIGHBORHOOD POSITION No neighborhood opposition has been expressed to 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 The proposed development will return this property to the City's tax rolls. 8. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/REASONABLENESS The property abuts "E-1" zoning to the south and west. Significant office development exists nearby. The proposed development should have not particular adverse effects upon neighboring properties. The proposed zoning seems more appropriate to the site than the existing zoning, particularly with the eliminating of the pyramidal effects of the old Zoning Ordinance. November 27, 1979 Item 6 - Continued 9. STANDARDS OF QUALITY No standards of quality have been addressed. 10. TRAFFIC AND STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY No traffic and right-of-way issues attend this case.

The area is suitable for office development and such use is already well established. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors. After a brief discussion, the Commission moved to approve the application as filed. The motion was passed - 11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
