STAFF COMMENTS /RECOMMENDATIONS
The subject lots and the lots in the North~ggate .area. were originally subdivided for residential use. At the
time that most of the area was rezoned for commercial use, the lots should have been resubdivided to
provide adequate utility and street systems to .accommodate more intense .uses. The conversion of this
area, however, occurred at a time when it was not standard ppractice to require such a redevelopment.
The fact that most of this block is already zoned C-1 presents the opportunity for consolidation of lots to
lessen the potentially negative impact of small commercial lots. Theapplicant intends to consolidate this
lot with the lotto the south for development as apay-for-parking lot.
The College Main project includes the provision of a bike route, which will eliminate roughly 85 spaces
on that street from Church north to the City limit line.
Staff would recommend approval due to the fact that the subject lot is the last R-2 zoned lot in the entire
block of C-1 zoned property.
