The request is to rezone the southeast corner of West 15th and Izard to "C-1" for a beauty shop. The property is located in a neighborhood that has a very mixed use zoning pattern which includes "R-4," "R-6," "0-3," "C-3" and "I-2." The land use is not as diverse as the zoning with residential being the primary use. South of West 14th there is a substantial amount of "C-3" land, but a majority of it is either vacant or used for residential purposes. There are also some nonresidential uses, such as churches, on the "C-3" lots. Because of the situation, the need for additional commercial land is questionable. It does not appear that the request is being made because there is a demand for more commercial land in the area. -B,ased-„on. the-- exist-kng-Aand use-;- th-e--ne-ighbo-rhood is over zoned and some of the zoning is misplaced. 2. The site is a vacant 100' x 100' tract of land. 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street Plan issues associated with this request. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. March 25, 1986 Item No. C--- Continued 5. There are no legal issues. 6. There is no documented neighborhood position or history on the site. 7. Staff's position is that the existing commercial zoning pattern and line should be maintained and does not support the "C -l" rezoning. A majority of the current zoning was accomplished through the High Street Urban Renewal Plan and provided for more than an adequate amount of commercial property. Allowing the zoning lines to be changed -at-- th-i-s time could establish undesirable precedent. The rezoning, if granted, would be an intrusion into a residential block and could have an adverse impact on those lots and other properties in the immediate area. And finally, there is no real demand or need for the additional commercially zoned land. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: S-t-a"ff recommends denial of the "C-1" request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (2-25-86) The applicant, Joe Love, was present. There were no objectors. Staff informed the Commission that the necessary notice materials had not been submitted. Mr. Love addressed the notification issue and said that a majority of the notices had been returned. He went on to discuss this proposal and the surrounding area. Because of the notification problem, a motion was made to defer the request for 30 days to the March 25, 1986, meeting and for the applicant to renotify the property owners. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (3-25-86) The applicant, Joe Love, was not present. There were six objectors in attendance.
