Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of February 2, 2006 Cal. No. 06-03 Petition of MATTHEW L. JACKSON, dba WORLD OF POWER SPORTS, to rezone 2110 East Pythian Avenue from R-2, Single'Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District. Mrs. Joselyn Stewart was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Mrs. Stewart presented the recommendation of staf£ The petitioner owns and operates the World of Power Sports at 2635 North 22nd Street. The petitioner owns the adjacent Lot 15 and the north 182 feet of Lot 16 on Pythian Avenue. On September 1, 2005, the owners proposed rezoning 2110 (north 182 feet of Lot 16 of Greenwich Gardens) and 2120 (Lot 15) East Pythian to allow for the construction of a building to handle their shipping operations for their expanding business. At the September 19, 2005,the City Council approved the rezoning of 2110 and 2120 East Pythian Avenue. The petitioner proposes to rezone the rest of 2110 Pythian Avenue (the south 118 feet of Lot 16 of Greenwich Gardens) from R-2, Single Family Residence to B- 2, Commercial District to allow for the construction of a building to handle their shipping • operations for their expanding business. A buffer yard between ten(10) and fifty(50) feet(ten percent of the frontage) must be provided adjacent to residential districts. Ordinarily, staff would oppose such a lot-by-lot encroachment into an established neighborhood. Prior rezoning approvals have changed the nature and land uses along Pythian Avenue as well as Damon Avenue. The south 118 feet of Lot 16 (2110 East Pythian Avenue) is now surrounded on the north, east, and south by either commercial or industrial zoning; therefore, staff is not opposed to the rezoning of the south 118 feet of Lot 16 as it is now compatible with adjacent zonings. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the south portion of 2110 East Pythian Avenue subject to the following requirements: site, landscaping and lighting plans for the building and parking area must be submitted and approved by the Department of Economic and Urban Development and the Department of Engineering and Infrastructure before building permits are issued. Ms. Adrian Lynch, representative for petitioner, was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Ms. Lynch stated she was with SKS Engineers and was representing the petitioner. Ms. L nch stated the etitioner is wanting to construct a shipping warehouse on the property. Y p
