Gould, Planning Officer StMOECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance 118 Congress Street Council Ordinance 05-340 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on November 1, 2005 held a public hearing on the above zone change request. Mr. Ken Tsoulas, the applicant, spoke in favor of the proposed change. Mr. Tsoulas indicated that he is requesting this zone change as he has entered into a Purchase and Sales Agreement with St. Joseph Hospital, and as a concitlon of the sale that the zoning be charged to Government and Inffi utional Service District to be consistent with the zoning of the abutting hospital properties. Mr. Tsoulas said that this property has been a rental property for the last 8 or 9 years and it was his understanding that the HospRal had no immediate plans other than to continue renting this property. Mr. Tsoulas said that he had spoken to three other neighbors who were not in opposition to this zone change, that the hospital had been a good neighbor, and that he felt that this zone change request is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Jim Kimball, a Board Member of M & J Corporation the real estate holding company for St. Joseph Hospital, indicated that the applicant asked if the hospital wished to purchase the property. The Hospital owns the properties on either side of 118 Congress Street and feels that it Is a strategic parcel for them to own. At the present time, there are no plans for reuse of this property other than to continue to rent it. Attorney Lisa Cohen Lunn, representing Michelle Campbell an abutting land owner who lives at 16 North Park Street, spoke in opposition. Ms. Lunn indicated that this is a traditional neighborhood and that her client was very concerned about the propensity for St. Joseph Hospital to encroach into the neighborhood. She said that she did not feel that this zone change was appropriate for this single-family neighborhood. Ms. Campbell strongly objected to this zone change request. Ms. Lunn also indicated that she grew up on French Sheet and lives in the Little City area and also is concerned with 05 -3qo encroachment. She indicated that the hospital should indicate what their intentions are for this parcel before applying for a zone change. The Planning Staff gave a brief history of the zoning in the area and the Hospital's development in this area. Back in the 1980's the Cit1Ns development policy was that the Hospital's operations be directed towards Broadway and away from Center Street. The current institutional area is bounded by Congress Street, Center Street and Broadway. Mr. Gould noted that this request is consistent with the City's Land Use and Zoning Policy Maps. Should this property became part of the Saint Joseph Hospital complex the City would expect that the Institution would develop it consistent with the previously outlined policy, to include additional required setbacks and buffers between G&iSD development and adjacent residential properties. After some discussion as to the potential uses for the property and the City's adopted land use and zoning policy the Planning Board voted 4-1 to recommend to the City Council that the proposed rezoning request. 05 340 � 4; `"FfOSPI 14L sirs z, '0� zs Z 305 4� v w SOUTH 2} 9 w w PARK I NG . „z,a`zz v _ (D3 I A ,4, FOR� JW s31 4 PARk &O .
