AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Public. hearing to consider a rewning request for a proposed parking lot at 315
Church Street from R-2 Duplexes to C-1 General Commercial. (94-114
City Planner Kee presented the staff report and recommended 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. The subject lots and the lots in the
Northgate area were originally subdivided for residential use. At .the time that most of the area was rezoned
for commercial use, the dots 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 practice 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. The applicant-intends to consolidate this lot with the lot to the south for development as a pay-for-
parking lot. Twelve surrounding property owners were notified with two inquiries.
Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing.
Applicant Paul Clarke of 3608 East 29th Street in Bryan informed the Commission that the existing building
located on the: subject property will be demolished and replaced with a paved parking lot. The property is
currently surrounded by commercial zoning. Mr. Clarke stated that he has a site plan of the proposed parking
lot if the Commission would like to review it.
Chairman Hawthorne closed the public hearing.

motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0).
