Mr. Callaway explained the request, pointing out that one of the subject lots is
the location of the existing Kinko's Copies, that the lots are within the area of
the proposed Northgatezoning district,and C-3 would be an appropriate zoning
until the new zoning ordinance is adopted. He further pointed out that these lots
received a variance to setback and parking requirements from the Zoning Board of
Adjustment in 1978which would still be in effect since variances go with the land
rather than to an applicant. He stated that the area in which these lots is
located is reflected as. commercial on the Land Use Plan, that the requested zoning
district is intended for use on lots or tracts which are appropriate for conunercial
zoning but are too small for the C-l zoning district, that C-3 is compatible with
area zoning and uses, therefore staff recommends approval of this request.

applicant/owner, and. further explained the request. Ed Yancy caIlle forwrd to add
