Excerpts from Plan Commission Minutes of October 2, 2008 Cal. No. 08-54 Petition of KARA DEMIRIJIAN HUSS to rezone property located at 3131 NORTH WATER STREET from B-2 Commercial District to PD Planned Development District. Ms. Suzan Stickle was sworn in by Mrs. Kim Althoff. Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site, zoned B-2 Commercial District and located at 3131 North Water Street, contains approximately 1.2 acres and is currently under redevelopment. The petitioner proposes to rezone the lot from B-2 Commercial District to a PD Planned Development District to allow the Express Care Center to keep the e�isting parking on the east side of the lot in order to provide the public more beneficial access to the medical facility. The proposed rezoning will allow the petitioner to build along a main corridor for the use of an Express Care Center. It will also allow for the facility to have ample main entrance parking. The site has not been utilized for a number of years and redevelopment of the site will enhance one of the City's main corridors. Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval of the petition as submitted with the following condition: A detailed Site Plan, Lighting Plan and Landscape Plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Economic and Urban Development Department, the Department of Engineering and Infrastructure and the Fire Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. Section XIX.G.2 requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request and forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 08-54 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval is suggested. Mr. Cochran stated that the site has sat vacant for a number of years. 1WIr. Cochran stated that the access in front on the east side meets all of the criteria for accessibility and that the parking in front is critical for the use. A site plan has been submitted and the petitioner is in agreement with all of the conditions that staff has provided. It was moved and seconded (John/Dunn) to forward Cal. No. 08-54 to the City Council with recommendation for approval as presented by staff. Motion carried un�nimously.
