(a) Site History
A zoning application has been filed requesting rezoning
of the northern lots from "R-3" Single Family to "C-3"
General Commercial to permit access to "A" Street. The
property is currently used as a parking lot allowed by
the Board of Adjustment in an "R-3" area, but with curb
cut prohibitions onto "A" Street. There has been
substantial neighborhood opposition against and legal
actions related to the previous rezoning activity. The
Board of Directors° position has been upheld by the
courts.
B. Existing Conditions
This site is occupied by McDonald's Restaurant on the
northwest corner of Markham and "A" Streets. The
northern two lots are zoned "R-3" and the southern two
are zoned Commercial. "A" and Jackson Streets are in
need of improvements.

Item No. 3 - Continued
C. Development Proposal
This application represents a twofold request: (1) to
recombine Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6 except for the west 8 feet
of Lot 3 into one lot, (2) the proposal of a one-way
left turn only outlet onto "A" Street.
D. Engineering Conditions
Engineering is in agreement with this proposal and
concept. Request specific driveway design be submitted
to the City Engineer for approval to improve "A" Street
to residential street standards.
E. Analysis
Staff has no problems with the plat, per se; however,
the legal issues and zoning request are overriding
concerns. If the zoning is approved, then approval is
recommended provided that both "A" and Jackson Streets
meet the City'a approval.
F. Staff Recommendation
Staff reserves comment at this time.
