Application is in the name of Discovery Properties, Sue VanDever, nt. • Mr. Callaway located the lots on a map, explained current zoning and uses in the area which include vacant lots, a daycare center, mini-warehouses and two 4-plexes, as well as some commercial development, stated the plan reflects commercial and high density residential development in the area, and pointed out that this immediate area has been rezoned to R-4 Low Density Residential to accommodate 4-plex development. He stated that this request for A-P zoning is reasonable for this area, although drawbacks include the fact that these lots were designed for residential development, and there is already one 4-plex established at the intersection of Sara Drive-and Longmire. He added that after visiting the neighborhood and actually seeing the area, staff cannot recommend denial of this request. Mr. MacGilvray asked if all this land is under one ownership and Mr. Callaway replied that information is unknown to him. Mr, Hansen asked about ownership of the lots across the street, and Mr, Callaway replied that, too., is unknown to him. Mr. Callaway then pointed out that in other sections of the City, some smaller lots have been rezoned to A-P to provide buffers between residential and commercial development, but added that the exist- ing 4-plex at the corner of Sara Drive and Longmire limits the opportunity for establish- ing a low intensity buffer between residential and commercial uses in this area. The public hearing was opened. Sue VanDever, acting as agent for the applicant, came for- ward to a~sNer any questions the Commission may have. Ownership of various lots was dis- cussed and Mr. MacGilvray asked if the applicant has property operating with a similar use in other areas and. Mrs, VanDever replied in the affirmative. No one else spoke. The public hearing was closed. Mrs. Stallings stated she has no problem with this request. Mr. Hansen agreed, adding that • he believes this area is more suitable to A-P development than to R-4 development. Mrs, Tongco made a motion to recommend approval of this request with Mrs. Stallings se- cond'-ng. Motion carried unanimously (5-0).
