The site is located in the Boyle Park Planning District.
The adopted Plan recommends Mixed Office Commercial (MOC)
for the tract. The house on Lot 10 actually straddles the
line onto Lot 9 which is zoned C-3. The proposal is to
develop this lot as parking to serve the adjacent commercial
use. Allowing the expansion of the adjacent use rather than
introducing a separate, new use seems reasonable to staff
and appears to meet the spirit of the Plan. Development of
the site, including screening and buffering, must be
sensitive to the residential property adjacent to the south.
The adopted Plan does also recommend MOC for the several
properties adjacent to the south.
The Land Use Plan is reflective of the John Barrow
Neighborhood Action Plan which was adopted on June 18, 1996.
Initial contact with the neighborhood association has shown
the association to be supportive of this request. No plan
change is necessary.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this lot from
R-3 Single Family to C-3 General Commercial. This lot and
half of the lot adjacent to the north are occupied by one
single family residence. The lot to the north is already
zoned C-3. The applicant proposes to relocate the house and
develop the property as expanded parking for the liquor
store which is located on the lots to the north.
The property is located within the commercial node
established at the intersection of West 36th Street and John
Barrow Road. As was previously mentioned, the C-3 zoned
properties to the north are occupied by a liquor store. A
new auto parts store is under construction on the C-3 zoned
block further north, across West 36th Street. A vacant, R-3

zoned lot is adjacent to the east. A vacant C-3 zoned tract
and an R-3 zoned Single Family residence are located across
Barrow Road to the west. A single family home is located on
the R-3 zoned property to the south.
This small, 48 foot wide lot is not proposed for development
as a free-standing use but is to be developed as additional
parking to serve the existing business adjacent to the
north. Expansion of the C-3 zoning onto this lot is an
appropriate use which is compatible with uses and zoning in
the area.
The adopted Land Use Plan establishes a commercial node at
the intersection of 36th and John Barrow, with Mixed
Commercial extending further north and south along Barrow.
This property is within the MOC area, abutting the
commercial. The proposal is to develop this one lot as an
expansion of an existing business which is located on the
adjacent commercial properties. Such a proposal meets the
spirit of the Plan.
Development of the site must be sensitive to the adjacent
residential properties, with appropriate screening and
buffers.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 zoning.
