Applicant: Dwight Blissard Location: 1516-1520 West 10th Street Request: Rezone from "I-2" Light Industrial to "0-3" General Office Purpose: Training Facility Size: 14,900 square feet Existing Use: Vacant Building SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Zoned "I-2" South - Office, Zoned "0-3" East - Parking Lot, Zoned "C-3" West - Office, Zoned "0-3" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The proposal is to convert an existing building into a training facility or institution for special education. The staff's understanding of the use is that it will train persons with certain emotional or mental handicaps to allow these persons to get back into the mainstream of society. The training will be in skills that will permit the individuals to seek employment and become more self sufficient. The site is an area that has a mix of land uses including an elderly high-rise, the Children's and Central Baptist Hospitals, a state office complex and a major church. The area has become more oriented toward public and quasi -public facilities and the proposed use is compatible with that type of development pattern. The parcel is one of the few remaining "I-2" tracts left in the general vicinity. 2. The site is three typical lots with a single structure on it. 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Plan issues associated with this request. July 24, 1984 Item No. 9 - Continued 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. There is no documented history on the site. 7. There is no established zoning pattern in the area so approval of this rezoning will not create a new precedent for the neighborhood. The property is surrounded by a number of different uses and zoning. Some of the major uses and I-630 have had impacts on the general area. With the Children's and Central Baptist Hospitals, there are similar uses in place as the one being proposed. Staff supports the request and feels that it is a desirable location for the use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. After a brief discussion, the Commission voted 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent to recommend approval of the request as filed. July 24, 1984 Item No. 9 - Z-4271 Owner: W.C. McMinn Company, Inc.
