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
