b. The City's land use plan indicates a large area fronting on
Broadway and extending back 800 feet to La Salle Drive for
high density residential u There has been increasing
concern about the compatibility of high density residential
development at this location adJacent to existing and pro-
posed single family development. The amendment seeks to
increase the area included in the tow density residential
designation.
C. The area immediately off Broadway will remain designated as
high density resi tlential. The first three lots north of
Judson Boulevard are presently zoned Commercial. The land
Orth of that is approved as
amobilehome park. The present
plans for the mobilehmme park include a stormwetor detention
pond which separates the development which fronts on Broad-
way from those on LaSalle Drive.
d. The Planning Staff would find the proposed division of
high density and low density to be a logical one.
Staff
Auld nate that this action does not change the Zoning of
any parcels, but sets the basis for any future changes.'
Staff would recommend that the Planning Board recommend
approval to the City Council.
Item No, 13i Amending Zoning Ordinance - Chapter VIII - Article
17 - General Industry Zone (I-3) - C.O. # 89-158.
a. At the direction of the City Council, the Planning Staff has
eviewed the existing zoning ordinance and existing zoned
area% to attempt to identify potential problems which could
crop up in the next few months until after the Comprehensive
Plan is revised and updated. One area noted was the
wide-open provlsi ons of the 1-3 Zone. Therefore, we have
submitted the amendment in C.O. # 89-158 to address what we
perceive as potential problems with this Zoning District.
b. The basic changes are to add a building height limit (45
feet) where there was none before and to establish a maximum
floor area ratio (the square foot of floor area in a build-
ing divided by the square foot of area
a lot) of 1.0.
This provides a overall development control which is lack-
ing in the previous ordinance and at the same time allows
for flexibility, particularly, where much of the 1-3 zoning
is in already developed sites. Also, the "me provisions of
the district presently call for a broad catch-all type per-
mitted useof"commercial/industrial u The feeling was
m
that there should be s rational to the uses Allowed in
this district as in any other zoning district. Therefore,
Section 3 has been amended to provide for the "sea permitted
in the Industrial 2 Zone, the heavy equipment and truck
sales and service uses, the auto repair shop use and a
special exceptions solid waste trr
ansfer o recycling sites
-
a d petroleum product storage facilities.This would appear
89-158 '
to cover the major uses presently in this zoning district
and those for which the district has been sought in recent
years. In the process of reviewing the Comprehensive Plan
and implementing its recommendations, there may be further
discussion an this issue,
C. Staff would recommend that the Planning Board recommend
these amended Z-3 Zone provisions to the City Council.
Item No. 151 Amending Zoning Ordinance - Chapter VIII, Article
10, Section 3 (2) - Special Exceptions in the
Residential 5 zone - C.O. # 89-159.
a. This amendment is initiated by the review of potential
short-term problems requested by the City Council. All the
special aa ceptinn
s in residential z reviewed and
the majorstreet provisions .that relate to specialexception
locations were also reviewed as part of this process. The
proposal ion the R-5 Zone included in L.O. # 89-159 is to
eliminate the motel use as one which appeared to be of a
cash more intensive nature than other uses
s
xallowed a spe-
cial exceptions in this district. There has not, in fact,
been ademnd for this use In this zoning district and it is
probably, only possible where other buildings would be torn
don or at least, completely renovated within existing R-5
Zones. However, the removal of buildings in an R-5 Zone and
the replacement with an out -of -character and potentially
disruptive motel use should probably be avoided.
It. Staff recommends that the Planning Board recommend this
amendment to the City Council.
Item No. 161 Amending Zoning Ordinance - Chapter VIII, Article
5, Section 3(2)and Article 21, Section 2, (1) and
Section 2, (41 - Major Streets.- C.O. # 89-162.
a. This review of major streets was
another of the items dis-
cussed under short-term concerns.The attached table shows
the status Of the various
major streets located in various
parts of the City'sZoning Ordinance. It w ncluded that
some of these made little n , particularly, where
streets listed a major streetmBw streets carrying
light traffic volumes and streets designated a"residen-
tial' into the street functional classification system.
b. Thorofare, there are two recommendations in regard t0 major
streets. First, Flacon Road and Essex Street were deleted
free the list of streets under which mobilehome parks can be
located in the Agricultural Zane. Neither of these streets
is in good condition and neither has capacity of the arteri-
al streets listed elsewhere in the ordinance as major
streets. Also, Mt. Hope Avenue between Howard Street and
Hogan Road is a short section of basically an urban
residential service street which does not appear to meet the
