SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Commercial, Zoned "C-3"
South - Vacant, Zoned "I-2"
East - Commercial, Zoned "C-3"
West - Mobile Home Park, Zoned "C-3"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The proposal is to rezone the tract to "C-4" to permit auto
sales, an used car lot. The applicant began to display and
sell cars prior to getting the necessary zoning so this
request is before the Planning Commission because of an
enforcement action.
The site is located on Asher Avenue, west of University
Avenue, and is part of the Boyle Park District Plan which
recommends a service commercial use for the property. "C-4"
zoning is normally associated with this type of land use
pattern and staff supports the rezoning. In addition, the
Zoning Ordinance states that appropriate locations for the
"C-4" District are along heavily traveled, major traffic
arterials such as Asher Avenue.
There are two items that the applicant and/or owner should
be made aware of. The first being that in a "C-4" District,
"there shall be no open display of any kind whatsoever in
the first 20 feet of the required front yard setback". The
second has to do with the possibile dedication of additional
right-of-way for Asher Avenue. Recently, on the north side
of Asher, in this immeA_Late. ,vi.ci_ni.ty., the -re -was some
right-o'f-way dedication through a Board of Adjustment
action.

Item No. 2 - Continued
Engineering has provided the following comments:
to Boundary street improvements for a five lane
section of Asher Avenue corresponding to the AHTD
design are required as well as right-of-way
dedication for a 100 foot wide right -of --way on
Asher Avenue. This requires the property owner to
furnish dedication of 50 feet from the
centerline.
2. It appears that a very small portion of the
f loodway area is located on the south end of the
property. - also,- •approximately 120 feet from the
south property line north is located within a
floodplain. Therefore, the property owner should
furnish a survey showing a floodway and floodplain
area on the south end of the property, located
either by a professional engineer or a land
surveyor.
3. Access points to the property shall be located on
the east side of the property and approved _by the
Traffic Engineer before any construction begins.
The Board of Adjustment case on this property involved the
placement of satellite receiving dishes between the street
right-of-way and the principal structure. The variance was
approved.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
