The Plannin ~ Zonn Commission Sub-committee ters y y $ g focused on this while revewin the fndn sin the 19.85 University Drive Study, and while g g_ anal zn current conditions in the stud area and lookin at changes since 1985. They y g ~' _ g determined that the assum Lions and recommendations of the ..original 1985 study are still p enerall valid. toda .The C-1 zonin s done since the study did. not comply with the 1985 g Y ~' g findin s nor the Corn rehensive Plan and Policies in existence afi the time. The current p .. Com rehensive Plan and Polices express the same philosophy relative to commercial land uses p . as the Plan did in 1985. Therefore, the changes to C-1 zoning that occurred along the south side nvers since 1985 do not invalidate the on final recommendations in the 1985 study. of U ~Y Essentall there have-been no Chan es in zonin , l-and use or other f actors to warrant signif icant Y g g than es in the on incl. recommendations. g g ub-committee offers the followin conclusions and recommendations based on their The S g study: 1. The existin -land. uses reflected on the Land Use Plan on the north side of University from g Tarroweast to S rn Loo ::.are still a ro riate These consist of commercial and office uses p g p pp p en it residential uses.. and medium d s y RECOMMENDATION: f r multi-f anvil uses to As In the or~g~nal study, limit areas reflected on .the Land Use Plano y j R-3 or R-4 with A-P as a possible alternative; Leave Tract C ~Fi ure 2} as R-~ or rezone it to A-P; and g Consider favorabl re nests for additional A-P zonin 'ust east of the University Park y q _ ~~ Subdivision. 2. There exists a need for an additional commercial zonin district CC-B} that would be g available for locations where some commercial ~rould be a ropriate but not the full range pp of uses allowed in C-1. The full range of C-1 uses would not be appropriate along the tTnversi Drive corridor considerin its function as an entryway. Properties .currently tY g zoned:C-1 in the stud area would be more appropriately zoned C-B. The existingC-1 tracts Y that are develo ed at this time could be(rezoned to C-B without affecting existing uses. Uses p exstin at his time would also be ermined under the C-$ district. it appears from the g p comments received from most-property owners thatzonng to C-B would not be opposed.
