STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone the site to "C-3" to permit a lodge
for the Fraternal Order of Police. The property is located
at the end of E. 2nd with the Arkansas River on the north
side and vacant land on the other sides. The developed
properties in the area include residential, commercial and
industrial. The zoning pattern is very mixed with "R-4,"
"C-3," "I-2" and "I-3" with the residential primarily
located to the south of E. 2nd and east of Bond Street.
Staff feels that the rezoning and use are compatible with
the area and supports the request. The "C-3"
reclassification will not impact any of the surrounding
property, and it is an appropriate location for the use.
Engineering reports that street improvements will be
required.
The Master Parks Plan identifies this section of the
Arkansas River as Priority 2 Open Space. This is envisioned
to be part of any overall open space system along the river
and tie the various recreational facilities on the Arkansas
River together.
