E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Eagle Bank and Trust Company, owner of the 0.22 acre property at 8225
Colonel Glenn Road (former Asher Avenue), is requesting to rezone the
east one-half of the property (Lot 11, Block 6, Pike Addition) from "R-2"
Single Family District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The rezoning
is requested for the future commercial redevelopment of the property. The
overall ownership includes Lots 11 and 12, Block 6, Pike Addition. Lot 12
is currently zoned C-3.
The 0.22 acre property contains a one-story commercial building which is
vacant. The building is located partially on Lot 11 and partially on Lot 12.
A tropical fish store previously occupied the building. There is a driveway
and small parking area accessed from Elmwood Drive.
The general area contains a mixture of uses and zoning. There is a new
commercial building (lawn mower repair shop) located immediately east of
the site, with a mobile home park located to the west across Elmwood
Drive. There are single family residences located across the alley to the
south. A mixture of commercial uses exists across Colonel Glenn Road to
the north.

ILE NO.: Z-7545
Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 zoning and the proposed Land
Use Plan Amendment. Staff feels that C-3 zoning is appropriate for this
corner property, given the past use of the property. As noted previously,
the property on either side of Lot 11, Block 6, Pike Addition is currently
zoned C-3. Therefore, staff feels that rezoning this lot to C-3 to match Lot
12 will allow for a future quality commercial development of the property.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 zoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (DECEMBER 18, 2003)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented
the item with a recommendation of approval.

Consent Agenda for approval as recommended by staff. A motion to that
effect was made. The motion passed by a vote of 11 ayes and 0 nays. The
application was approved.
