Excerpts of Plan Commission Meeting March 3, 2005 Cal. No. OS-11 Petition of STERLING DEVELOPMENT, LLC, to rezone the premises at 140 West Marion Street and 1005— 1085 South Main Street from M-1 Intense Commercial—Light Industrial District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. Ms. Suzan Stickle was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Ms. Stickle gave the recommendation of staff: The subject site is approximately three (3) acres and is currently vacant. Utilities are available at the site. The petitioner requests rezoning to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District to allow for the construction of an approximate 80 unit senior facility and a parking lot to serve the site. The surrounding zoning includes R-5 Two-Family Residence District, B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the adjacent zoning districts. The Comprehensive Plan shows the area as Light Industrial or Planned Commercial Development; however, the R-6 Multiple Dwelling District is compatible with the adjacent uses in the area. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition with the following condition: A site, landscaping and lighting plan meeting the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance will be submitted and approved by the Engineering and Infrastructure Department and the Economic and Urban Development Department. Section XXIX requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number OS-11 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. Nordholm questioned staff as to why sometimes there are blue prints and plans of a property and sometimes there are not. Ms. Stickle stated when it is a straight rezoning a site plan is not needed, plans are needed only if it is a Planned Development. Mr. John questioned when it is a straight rezoning if staff takes into consideration traffic, etc. Ms. Stickle stated that there are Technical Review Meetings which involves the following departments: Engineering, Economic and Urban Development, Water, and Fire. It is after those meetings that staff does their recommendation.
