Gould, Planning Officer SUBIECT: Amending Zoning OWmance 2A Urkin Street Council Ordinance 06-126 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on April 1, 2008, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Mr. Bill Masters, the applicant, indicated that he wanted to redevelop the historic building for mixed residential and commercial uses (approximately 10 dwelling units and 5 office suites). Mr. Masters noted there was currently parking at the property but he might want to rearrange some W create a landscaped front yard. Mr. Gerry king, 55 Lincoln Street. Indicated his house was immediately behind the property and was very concerned about adding parking m the rear of the property. The conversion of the former car wash to a bar has created numerous problems for his residential property. Mr. Joe Quinn Indicated that Mr. Masters has a good track recard in doing projects well. Planning Officer David Gould indicated that the proposed rezoning was intended to allow mixed use at the property. Presently the General Commercial and Service Zoning District (Gi allows for havy commercial uses with outdoor storage such as automobile ales and equipment rental. Mr. Gould noted the Neighborhood Service District limits the amount of commercial floor area and does not allow alcohol to be served on the premises. Mr. Gould noted the change would appear a better zone for the neighborhood than GCisS. Mr. Gould noted that the second legal natio did not get published by the Banaor Daily News. While the City sends out written notice to all abutters and a sign a posted on the property there are two notices that are published in the bol newspaper. Unfortunately, the second notice did not get published which the Board should be aware of. Mr. Gould noted one issue is the timing of the applicant's purchase and sales agreement that Is time sensitive. It will be a few weeks before the Council meets so there Is time W publish another legal ad, wait seven days and have a continued hearing. The Board asked what protections were in place to protect adjacent residential property. Mr. Gould noted if changes were made W the exterior of the site it would need to Whim for site plan review. The land Development Code requlrea transition yards between commercial and residential properties and parking buffers between parking lots and adjacent properties. The Board discussed the legal ramifications of proceeding without a second notice and many Members indicated their support for the proposed project. The Board voted six in favor and acre abstention (Mr. Damon had a candid of Interest) to continue the Public Haring until April 10, 2008 M 4:OOpm after the second notice can be published consistent with the State guidelines.
