The proposal is to convert a vacant lot into an auto repair garage. The use is appropriate for the location and compatible with the surrounding area which can be described as a mix of residential and nonresidential uses. 2. The site is flat and does not present any unique physical characteristics. 3. Mabelvale Pike is classified as a minor arterial on the Master Street Plan. Eighty feet of right-of-way is required so dedication is necessary because the existing right-of-way is deficient. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies at this time. 5. There are no apparent legal issues associated with this request. 6. The property was part of a large annexation that took Place in 1979. The land was annexed as "R-2." There is no documented neighborhood position concerning this site. December 13, 1983 Item No. 28 - Continued 7. The Suburban Development Plan has been amended to show a neighborhood commercial strip for the two blocks to the west which this property adjoins. Staff feels that a commercial classification is more appropriate for this site and the "C-4" zone accommodates the proposed use. Industrial uses should be restricted to the east side of Mabelvale Pike and not allow it to go to the west beyond Mabelvale Pike. This property has a better relationship to the proposed neighborhood commercial center than the indistrial use across the street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the "I-2" request and approval of the "C-4" reclassification. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Gladys Hosman, was present and agreed to amending the request to "C-4" as recommended by the staff. A motion was made to recommend approval of the application as amended. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
