STAFF ANALYSIS•
The issue before the Planning Commission is to rezone a 50
foot lot on Asher Avenue from "R-3" to 11C-311. The proposal
is to combine the site in question with the lot directly to
the west, zoned "C-311, and construct a small retail
establishment with the necessary parking. Both lots are
vacant at this time. One unique feature of this case is
that one individual owns the lot to the west and portions of
two lots to the north on which there is a single family
residence. If the rezoning is granted, the entire tract
will be sold to the same person.
Land use along this segment of Asher is single family, a
mobile home park and commercial with the property abutting a
single family residence on the east side. Other uses found
in the general area are a fire station and a church. Some
of the land is undeveloped and several of the existing non-
residential buildings are unoccupied. Zoning is very
similar to the existing land use and includes "R-311, "R -4B1,
"0-31' , "C-3110, "C-4" and "I-211.
The Boyle Park District Plan shows the lot to be part of a
commercial strip on the north side of Asher Avenue that
extends from Walker Street to Ludwig Street on the west.
(Ludwig is located one block west of John Barrow Road.)

Item No. 3 - Z-5335 Continued
"C-3" is the appropriate zoning district for the suggested
land use pattern. Therefore, there is no plan issue and
Staff supports the requested commercial rezoning.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Asher Avenue is classified as a principal arterial, which
has a right-of-way standard of 110 feet, or 55 feet from the
center line. Dedication of additional right-of-way will be
required because the existing right-of-way is 60 feet.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the "C -3t0 rezoning as
requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (June 19, 1990)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors and the
rezoning was placed on the consent agenda. A motion was
made to recommend approval of the "C-3" request. The motion
passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 nays and 2 absent
