This small pocket of residential development is in a state of transition which has been underway for some time. There are many vacant properties which have resulted from the demolition of dilapidated homes. The pocket is about two blocks wide and surrounded by industrial development on three sides. Virtually no chance of retaining residential development in this area exists, nor does it appear to be desirable. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. The applicant stated that he was not certain of the specific use proposed for the property, stating that he represents the owner of the property rather than the buyer. He stated that it would be some kind of retail store, and that the buyer of the property was owner of the business immediately to the east of this property. December 15, 1981 Item No. 11 - Continued After a brief discussion; the Commission moved to approve the application as filed, and the motion was passed: 6 ayes, 3 noes and 2 absent.
