Moore Same 2720 South Cedar Rezone from "R-3" to "I-2" Warehouse/Storage .21 acres Residence SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The request is to rezone the property to "I-2" for some type of warehouse and/or storage use. The site is located at the northwest corner of Cedar and West 28th Streets less than one block north of Asher Avenue. In the immediate vicinity, the zoning is very mixed as is the land use especially south of West 27th. North of West 27th the neighborhood is primarily single family with "R-3" zoning, but there are certain locations that are zoned "R-4" and for nonresidential uses. The pattern that has developed over the years in this area is a "C-3" commercial strip on the north side of Asher Avenue and a large "I-2" industrial area to the south. There is an "I-2" site at the northeast corner of Asher and Pine, but the property has a commercial use on it now. 2. The property has one large two story structure on it. 3. There are no right-of-way issues or Master Street Plan requirements associated with this request. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. North - Quasipublic, Zoned "0-3" South - Commercial, Zoned "C-3" East - Commercial, Zoned "C-3" West - Quasipublic, Zoned "0-3" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1.

November 26, 1985 Item No. 2 - Continued 5. There are no legal issues. 6. There is no documented neighborhood position or history on the site. 7. Because of the location, the property appears to have little residential potential, but staff questions the desirability of rezoning such a small tract to "I-2." The area is made up of commercial and quasipublic uses such as churches and the St. Francis House, with "0-3" or "C-3" zoning. An "I-2" rezoning does not appear to be compatible with this pattern and could have an impact on the immediate area because this portion of Asher Avenue is beginning to be cleaned up, and the undesirable uses are leaving the area. Also, being somewhat removed from Asher Avenue does not lend itself to being a viable "I -o2" location. With "0-3" and "C-3" zoning on four sites, staff feels that the property is better suited for a commercial use. The Stephens School Plan does not identify any industrial uses in this immediate area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the "I-2" request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Tommy Moore, was present. There were no objectors. Mr. Moore spoke briefly and agreed to amending the request to "C-3". The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the application as amended to "C-3"." The vote 9 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent.
