ITEM NO. 2 - Z -4537-B
Owner: Ernest P. Joshua
Applicant: Muskie Harris
Location: 4215 Asher Avenue
Request: Rezone from 11I-2" to 11C-4"
Purpose: Beauty shop and limousine service
Size: 0.25 acres
Existing Use: Beauty shop and limousine service
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Commercial, zoned 11I-2"
South - Office and industrial, zoned 11I-2"
East - Industrial, zoned 11I-2"
West - Vacant, zoned 11I-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The issue before the Planning Commission is to rezone the
southeast corner of Peyton Street and Asher Avenue from "I-
2" to 11C-411. Currently, there is one building on the
property with a portion of the structure being utilized by a
limousine service. The other part of the building will be
occupied by a beauty shop after the rezoning is
accomplished. Beauty shops are not listed in the 11I-2"
district. Therefore, a commercial reclassification was
filed to permit both uses. 11C-4" was determined to be the
most appropriate classification because of the limousine
service, which has outside storage of vehicles. A beauty
shop is allowed in the 11C-4" district under "retail uses not
listed (enclosed)".
Zoning in the general area is 11R-311, 110-3110, 11C-3111 11I-2" and
PCD with properties fronting on Asher zoned either 11C-3" or
11I-211. Land use is very mixed and includes residential,,
office, commercial and industrial. Some of the land is
still undeveloped and throughout the area there are a number
of vacant buildings. Along Asher Avenue, the uses range
from eating places to warehousing and there is no cohesive
pattern to the location of the different types of land uses.

ITEM NO. 2 - Z-4537-]3 Continued
Over the years, the City has endorsed a combination
commercial and industrial rezonings with "C-31', "C-4" and
11I-2" being the appropriate districts. The proposed "C-4"
reclassification maintains the established zoning
configuration and the "C-4" conforms to the adopted plan,
Fourche, which shows a commercial strip for Asher Avenue in
this area.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Asher Avenue is classified as a principal arterial, which
has a right-of-way standard of 110 feet or 55 feet from the
center line. The existing right-of-way is deficient, and
dedication of additional right-of-way will be required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the "C-4" rezoning as
requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (May 8, 1990)
The Staff reported that the owner submitted a written
statement requesting that the item be withdrawn without
prejudice. A motion was made to withdraw the rezoning
without prejudice. The motion was approved by a vote of 11
ayes, 0 nays and 0 absent.
