PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
1. The issue before the Planning Commission is to rezone a
single lot to "C-3" for a mix of office and commerical
uses. The exact nature of those uses is unknown at
this time. The site is located at the northeast corner
of West 12th and Summit in an area that has been
heavily impacted by previous rezoning actions. In the
immediate neighborhood, the zoning pattern consists of
"R-4," "R-5," 110-2," 110-3," "C-3," "C-4" and "I-2" with
the land use being very similar. Some of the existing
"C-3" sites are either vacant or being used for some
type of noncommercial use. Based on the current zoning
in the neighborhood, it appears that some type of
nonresidential rezoning is appropriate for the property
in question.
2. The site is a typical residential lot with a large two
story structure on it.
3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street
Plan issues associated with this request.
4. Engineering has expressed some concerns with both
access to the site and parking. No other comments have
been received from the reviewing agencies.
5. There are no legal issues.

6. There is no documented history or neighborhood position
on the site.
7. The property under consideration is the only corner at
the intersection of West 12th and Summit that is still
zoned for residential use. The other three corners are
zoned either "0-3" or "C-3" so commercial rezoning for
the northeast corner appears to oe a reasonable option.
Because of the site's location and its relationship to
nearby residential uses, staff is reluctant to support
"C-3" and suggest that "C-1" is more appropriate
because of it being the neighborhood commerical
district. The one major issue associated with this
property is parking. The mix of uses will be based on
the lots ability to provide the necessary parking and
the owners should be aware of that situation. The
parking requirements from the Zoning Ordinance are 1
space per 400 square feet for office and 1 space per
300 square feet for commercial with some personal
service uses requiring 1 space per 200 square feet.
