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

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.
