PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The site is presently occupied by a duplex, and the
proposal is to convert the structure into a beauty
shop. The property is located in an area with mixed
uses in zoning. Because of the existing uses, it is
difficult to determine what the predominant development
pattern or trend is. The existing "C-3" zoning has
been restricted to properties with West 12th Street
frontage except for the southwest corner at Woodrow and
West 13th Street.
2. The site is a flat, standard, residential lot with a
duplex on it.
3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street
Plan issues associated with this request.
4. There have been no adverse comments received from
reviewing agencies at this time.
5. There are no apparent legal issues.
6. There is no documented neighborhood position on the
site. The property has been zoned 11R-4" for a number
of years.

7. The staff does not support this request. Commercial
uses and zoning should be limited to West 12th and
Woodrow as recommended in the proposed Stephens School
Plan. The Plan shows the commercial use to be just
one-half block north of West 12th and recommends low
density use north to I-630. Allowing commercial zoning
beyond this point would result in the striping out of
Woodrow from West 12th to I-630. The current
commercial zoning pattern should be reinforced by
denying this request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the application.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant, G.P. Thomas, and the owner, Don Hughes, were
present. Both offered comments in support of commercial
zoning for the location in question. Mr. Thomas then
amended the application to "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial.
There were no objectors present. After a lengthy
discussion, a motion was made to recommend approval of the
application as amended. The motion passed by a vote of
9 ayes, 2 noes and 0 absent. The Planning Commission
supported the "C-1" request because of existing uses in the
immediate area, there were no objectors present, and Woodrow
having immediate access to I-630.
