The Land Use Plan shows Mixed Office Commercial for this property. The
applicant has applied for a Planned Commercial Development for a strip retail
center and car lot.

Use Plan, which would necessitate a Plan Amendment.
Cily Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan: The applicant's property lies in an
area covered by the John Barrow Neighborhood Action Plan. The plan has a
goal of enhancing the climate directed towards encouraging new businesses and
commercial establishments to locate in the area but does not list objectives or
action statements relevant to this case.
Landsca e: A nine (9) foot wide on-site street buffer is required along Barrow
Road. The landscape ordinance also requires a nine (9) foot wide on-site
landscape strip along Barrow Road and a nine (9) foot wide landscape strip
along the northern perimeter of the site.
A total of eight (8) percent of the expanded vehicular use area must be
landscaped with interior landscaping islands.
Building Codes: No comment.

from John Barrow Road be closed as a part of the development. Staff stated in
the case of a hardship an in -lieu contribution was possibility.

FILE NO.: Z -5944-A Cont.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated a nine -foot wide on-site
street buffer would be required along John Barrow Road and West 32nd Street.
Staff stated this was a requirement of the Zoning Ordinance (Land Use Buffer)
and the Landscape Ordinance. Staff noted if the applicant could not meet the
Landscape Ordinance, a waiver from the City Beautiful Commission would be
required. Staff also noted the new parking area would be required to be
landscaped, including interior islands.
There being no further items for discussion, the Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant failed to furnish staff with the requested additional information from
the Subdivision Committee meeting. Without this additional information, staff is
unable to review the proposal from a technical standpoint. Staff recommends
this item be deferred to the September 4, 2003 Public Hearing.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the item be deferred to the September 4, 2003 Public Hearing.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 24, 2003)
The applicant was not present. There were no objectors present. Staff stated the
applicant had failed to furnish staff with the requested information after the July 3, 2003
Subdivision Committee meeting. Staff recommended the item be deferred to the
September 4, 2003 Public Hearing.
There was no further discussion of the item. The Chair placed the item on the consent
agenda for deferral. The motion carried by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
STAFF UPDATE:
ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plan to staff on August 14, 2003 addressing most of
the issues raised at the July 3, 2003 Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant
has indicated there is not a Bill of Assurance in effect for the property. The applicant
has proposed to place a six foot opaque fence along the north, west and east
perimeters of the sales lot. The applicant has also indicated no signage is proposed
presently but any future signage would be located near the intersection of John Barrow
and West 32nd Street and conform to signage allowed in commercial zones or a
maximum of thirty-six feet in height and one -hundred sixty square feet in area.

The applicant has indicated the parking will be constructed of 4 -inch concrete and
striped to include 10 parking spaces. The site plan also includes a nine -foot landscape
strip with 18 -inch compact holly shrubs on three foot centers located along West 32"d
Street and John Barrow Road.
The applicant has indicated there will not be any new structures added to the site. The
applicant has stated the office will be housed in the Tobacco Store located on the site.
The applicant has indicated the days and hours of operation will be from 8:00 am to
8:00 pm Monday through Saturday. The hours of operation will coincide with the hours
of operation of the Tobacco Store.
The applicant has requested a deferral of Public Works comments for a period of five
years. These include the street improvements to West 32nd Street and West 33 d Street,
the dedication of right-of-way to West 32nd Street and West 33 d Street, and the radial
dedication to John Barrow Road. The applicant is also requesting to be allowed to
maintain all driveway locations on John Barrow Road for the five year period. The
applicant has stated they are a small business and the deferral for five years would
allow the owners time to recoup capital expanded before providing the required street
improvements.
Staff is not supportive of the proposed request. The proposal includes the development
of a vacant lot with a used car lot facility servicing eight to ten automobiles. Staff does
not feel this use is appropriate for this site. The city and the neighborhood have tried to
maintain the integrity of John Barrow Road and the placement of a used car lot is not in
keeping with previous actions and goals.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to rezone the site to PCD to allow a
used car lot to develop on the site.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 4, 2003)
Mr. Larry Williams was present representing the request. There were no objectors
present. Staff presented the item with a recommendation of denial of the request. Staff
stated the proposed development, a C-4 use, did not fit with the development pattern
along John Barrow Road. Staff stated the applicant was also requesting a five year
deferral of right-of-way dedication, street improvements and Public Works comment to
close one of the existing driveways on the site.
Mr. Williams presented his development plan to the Commission. He stated his desire
was to allow eight to ten cars on the lot. He stated he would pave the parking area and
would install the required landscaping and screening. Mr. Williams stated economics
was the primary reason for his request. He stated he and his partner operated the
tobacco store located on an adjoining lot and all the sales activity would take place in
0

the existing building. He stated with the development of the business this would
increase revenues to the City.
There was a general discussion concerning the development pattern along John Barrow
Road and the existing strip retail centers and occupancies. It was noted there was a
new strip center located near the site which was less than fifty percent occupied. The
Commission questioned the applicant if he was willing to limit the number of vehicles for
sale on the site. Mr. Williams stated the intent was to allow space for eight automobiles
for sale and two spaces for customer parking. He stated the desire was for a small
scale car lot and not a full blown automobile dealership.
The Commission quested if the PCD ran with the land or the owner. Staff noted the
applicant was not the property owner but did have an executed affidavit from the
property owner. Staff stated the PCD was tied to the land and not the applicant. The
Commission questioned if the applicant was willing to amend his application to limit the
approval to him and his partner. Mr. Williams stated he was willing to this stipulation of
his approval.
The Commission also asked Mr. Williams if he would be willing to stipulate there would
be no detailing of automobiles and no repair of automobiles. Mr. Williams stated he was
willing to add this to the conditions of his approval.
There was a general discussion concerning the requested street improvements and the
requested deferrals. The Commission questioned if an in -lieu contribution would be
acceptable. Staff stated this was acceptable. Staff stated they were also supportive of
the request to defer the street improvements, the right-of-way dedication and the closing
of the driveway for five years. Staff stated at the end of the five years the applicant
could still take advantage of the in -lieu contribution.
The Commission questioned if comment had been received from the John Barrow
Neighborhood Association. Staff stated they had not received any comment from the
neighborhood association.
A motion was made to approve the request as amended to include all conditions
outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the above report. The motion noted the conditions
of approval also included limiting the number of automobiles for sale to a maximum of
eight, the approval was limited to Mr. Williams and his partner only and was not
transferable to any other person or company and there was to be no repair or detailing
of automobiles on the site. The motion was approved 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
