Durham Richard Durham 4726 Asher Avenue Rezone from "I-2" to "C-3" Bar and Grill 0.25 acres Existing Use: Commercial SURR0L1NDTNG LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Single Family, Zoned "R-3" South - Commercial and Industrial, Zoned "I-2" East - Commercial, Zoned "I-2" West - Industrial, Zoned "I-2" STAFF ANALYSIS: This rezoning was originally acted on by the Planning Commission in November 1981, as conversion adjustment from "I-2" to "C-3." The proposed use at the time was a private club with the possibility of some adult entertainment. The Planning Commission approved the request by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, and 2 absent. After the Planning Commission action the item was forwarded to the Board of Directors for their approval. The Board did not pass an ordinance rezoning the property and deferred the issue indefinitely. This action was taken because of the proposed use and some problems that were occurring along Asher Avenue with similar establishments. At that time, late 1981, the issue of adult entertainment and appropriate locations was being addressed by the City and residents along the Asher Avenue corridor. During those discussions there was mention made of an ordinance regulating locations of adult entertainment establishments. One of the reasons for the Board's deferral of the request was to allow the Planning Commission to consider such an ordinance but it was never developed or finalized. Several months ago the applicant approached the Planning Office without putting the rezoning back on the Board of Directors' agenda. He was instructed to submit a letter to the City Clerk for that to be done. The item was placed on a tentative agenda but removed because of concerns with the June 16, 1987 Item No. 1 - Continued time that had passed and several changes in the makeup of the Board of Directors. Staff_ was told to file the rezoning for a Planning Commission hearing and for the owner to notify property owners. The rezoning is still from "I-2" to "C-3" but the use is a bar and grill. The rezoning pattern along Asher is very mixed and reclassifications should have no impact on the area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the "C-3" request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors. A motion was made to recommend approval of the request as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, and 2 absent.
