Item: Public hearing and .consideration of a rezoning request for 701 Harvey Road,
existing First State Bank building, from A-P Administrative Professional to C-3
Planned Commercial
Item Summary:. The purpose of this request is a desire on the part of the applicant
to be allowed additional height and 25 square #eet additional area on the signage for
the property. The existing zoning restricts signs to 100 square feet and the height to
10' with a 10' setback from the property line. The requested C-3 would allow 125
square feet and a height of roughly half the distance from`the sign edge to the street
curb.
This property. as well as the existing C-3 to the south were zoned A-P in 1982 when
the lots were still vacant. In 1985, the lot to the west was rezoned to C-N to allow for
automobile servicing uses. A service station. and auto repair shop were built on that
site as a result of that rezoning, In 1987, a rezoning for the same lot to .the west was
approved to allow for higher and larger signage for the businesses. This applicant
wishes to be allowed the same visibility as his neighbors to the west.
The difference between A-P and-C-3 is that some retail usage is allowed and C-3 is
considered more intense than the A-P. Hovvever, both districts are considered."light
commercial" and the difference is minimal from a traffic viewpoint. A-P uses tend to
have more restrictive characteristics in-that their need for advertising is not as great
as other commercial district uses. However, thehistory of the zoning and eventual
lessening of sign restrictions of the. property to the`vvesf would justify this zoning
change. Staff recommends approval
Financial Summary: N/A
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommends approval by a unanimous vote.
City Attorney Recommendation: No concerns expressed.
Council Action: Desired: Approval or denial of request.
