Planning Division: This request is located in the 1-30 Planning District. The Land Use
Plan shows Mixed Use Urban (MXU). The Mixed Use -Urban category provides for a mix
of residential, office and commercial uses not only in the same block but also within the
same structure. This category is intended for older "urban" areas to allow dissimilar
uses to exist, which support each other to create a vital area. Development should
reinforce the urban fabric creating a 24-hour activity area. Using the Planned Zoning
District or the Urban Use District, high and moderate density developments that result in
a vital (dense) pedestrian oriented area are appropriate. The applicant has applied for a
rezoning from 1-2 (Light Industrial District) to PID (Planned Industrial District) to add an
event center in the existing building as an allowable uses.
Master Street Plan: North side of the property is East 9th Street and it is a Collector,
west side of the property is Shall Avenue and it is a Local Street on the Master Street
Plan. The primary function of a Collector Street is to provide a connection from Local
Streets to Arterials. The primary function of a Local Street is to provide access to
adjacent properties. Local Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or
more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as "Commercial Streets". A
Collector design standard is used for Commercial Streets. These streets may require
dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits
to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
Landscape:
1. Site plan must comply with the City's landscape and buffer ordinance requirements.
2. If building rehabilitation exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost then the
landscaping and buffer must also come into compliancy accordingly.
3. The City Beautiful Commission recommends preserving as many existing trees as
feasible on sites. Credit toward fulfilling Landscape Ordinance requirements can be
given when preserving trees of six (6) inch caliper or larger.
Revised plat/plan: Submit four (4) copies of a revised preliminary plat/plan (to include
the additional information as noted above) to staff on Wednesday, February 10, 2016.
