The proposal is to convert an existing service station to an auto repair garage. The station has been used as a car wash and detail shop. It has not been used for a service station for a number of years: The site is located in a "C-3" strip on the south side of West 12th that extends approximately four blocks to the east. The area has a mix of residential and nonresidential uses. This location is the west end of the "C-3" zoning. The north side of West 12th has a similar development pattern with a mix of commercial uses. The proposed use appears to be appropriate for West 12th which is classified as a principal arterial, but the requirement for "C-4" zoning is a concern. 2. The site is flat and occupied by a vacant service station. A majority of the property is paved except approximately the west 45 feet. This section is the location of a creek and separated from the remainder of the site by a retaining wall. 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street Plan issues associated with this request. West 12th Street is four lane, and all necessary improvements are in place. February 28, 1984 Item No. 5 - Continued 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies at this time. 5. There are no legal issues other than establishing an "C-4" spot zone. 6. There is no documented neighborhood position relative to this site. The property has been zoned "C-3" for a number of years. 7. The staff is not necessarily opposed to the proposed use, an auto repair garage, but it cannot support the "C-4" rezoning at this location. There are a number of uses permitted under the "C-4" classification that would be undesirable for West 12th Street and the rezoning would be establishing a spot zone. Precedent would be set if this zoning is granted that could create some undesirable land use patterns along West 12th. A "C-3" zoning pattern is more appropriate for West 12th Street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the 11C-4" request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was not present. A motion to defer the item for 30 days was approved by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. (The staff was asked by the Commission to contact the applicant and inform him of the possibility of utilizing a conditional use permit if the Zoning Ordinance is amended.)
