All sidewalks should have ADA compliant ramps. Planning ❑ivision: This request is located in Downtown Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Mixed Use Urban (MXU) for this property. This 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 cresting 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 UU (Urban Use District) to PDC (Planned Development Commercial District) for the development of a tunnel carwash. Master Street Plan: To the east of the property is Broadway and it is a Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. To the north is 3rd Street and it is a Minor Arterial on the Master Street Plan. A Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Broadway, since it is a Principal Arterial. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on West V Street, since it is a Minor Arterial. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. Bicvcle Plan: There is a Class II Bike Path shown on V Street. This Bike Lane provides a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.
