STAFF COMMENTS / RECC}1VIMENDATIONS
The. Comprehensive Future Land Ilse Plan reflects the property .along both sides of .Cooner Street -from Texas
Aven~~e to Jane Street as ret<~.il commercial. This request is incompliance with that. plan. In order to avoid. small
commercial lots on a stree that was not designed o handle heavy commercial traffic, staff recommends that any
..rezoning to commercial be conditioned upon replatting This rep attng would :incorporate one or wo of the lots
into the adjacent property to the:: west which is the location of the proposed Super 8 Motel. (The appl icant has
indicated a desire on the Motel's part to acquire additional property for parking.} Any .lots not so incorporated
should be combined through replatting into 1 single lot.
The commercial development of this property is compatible with surrounding land uses and with the ong term
p ~:n for the area to redevelop into an o~fee and ret<zil area with multi-family residential development along the
north side of Cooner Street east of Jane Street.
St~~.ff recommends approval with the condition that any of the four lots not sold for: inclusion on the adjacent
project be replatted into a Ingle lot.
