STAFF ANALYSIS
2322 Bragg Street is currently zoned R-4 and the owner
proposes to utilize the site for auto sales and repair. To
allow the uses, the property must first be rezoned to C-4.
The site is a 50 ft. residential lot with a vacant residence
on it. The corner of East 24th and Bragg Street is situated
in close proximity to the old VA Hospital on Roosevelt Road
and adjacent to the I-30 right-of-way. (This lot is a
number of feet below the finished grade of the interstate
roadway.)
Zoning on the west side of I-30 is R-4, 0-1, 0-3, C-3 and
I-2. The lot abuts R-4 on two sides, and across East 24th
Street, the zoning is I-2. The 0-1 lot to the north was
rezoned several years ago for a barber shop, however, the
property is still vacant. Land use in the immediate
neighborhood is single family, a church, auto service,
industrial storage, a park and the old VA Hospital complex.
Between East 21st Street and East 24th Street, the land use
is residential with a scattering of vacant lots. Along East
21st Street, the pattern varies somewhat with the addition
of several office and neighborhood commercial uses. South
of East 24th, the land use changes from residential to
commercial and industrial.

ITEM NO.: C-5452 Cont.)
The lot at 2322 Bragg Street is not a C-4 site and the
requested reclassification is totally inappropriate for the
location. Even though the property abuts an interstate and
has I-2 zoning across the street, the lot is part of the
residential neighborhood north of East 24th Street. This is
reinforced by the land use element of the Central City
district plan which shows the property for single family
use. And finally, a C-4 rezoning and certain uses allowed
in C-4 could have an adverse impact on the residential
environment of the neighborhood.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
None reported.
