This issue is before the Planning Commission because of the structure losing its nonconforming status. The building had five units but was heavily damaged some time back by fire.- The owner attempted to secure the necessary permits to remodel the structure for four units but was informed that a rezoning was necessary because of the fire. The lot is located east of Main Street in close proximity to the former VA Hospital on Roosevelt Road. The neighborhood is primarily residential with a mix of single family and multifamily. There are some nonresidential uses found on Main Street and on East 21st east of Cumberland. The zoning includes "R-4," "R-5," and "C-3." In addition, one-half block to the west is the Capitol Zoning District. In the immediate vicinity, both "R-5" and "C-3" locations include more than a single lot and appear to have been accomplished through a plan or some other study of the neighborhood. 2. The site is a 75 -foot lot with a single structure on it. 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street Plan issues associated with this request. September 24, 1985 Item No. 9 - Continued 4. Engineering has stated the parking lot should be constructed to current City standards in the rear, using the alley as access. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. There is no documented neighborhood position or history on the site. 7. Staff's primary concern with this request is the lack of adequate review with the 11R-5" district and the potential of increasing the number of units some time in tSe future if the request is granted. Also, the rezoning would create a single 11R-5" lot in a block that could create some problems. Another issue is whether the property can provide the necessary off-street parking. Staff supports the proposed use of the property but recommends that a "PRD" be utilized to ensure adequate review and address the various concerns. In this situation, the "R-5' district is too open-ended and does not restrict the property to the four units. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the.request be refiled as a "PRD." PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was not present. A motion was made to defer the item to the October 29, 1985, meeting. The motion' passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
