City Plan Commission July 2, 1998 Page Ten Mr. Schiller stated that this particular corner needs to be developed which is unlikely unless the development is commercial. He suggested forwarding the petition to City Council with an affirmative vote. Mr. Shampine stated that this is a clear intrusion into the neighborhood. The property has been vacant for the reason of providing geen space for the church. Commercial use is on the other side of the street but not on this side. Mr. Shampine stated that the building is attractive but not appropriate for the neighborhood. It was moved and seconded (Shampine/Woolsey)to forward Cal. No. 98-36 to City Council with recommendation for denial. Motion carried at a vote of five to three. Commissioners voting yea: Clevenger, Setina, Shampine, Washington, and Woolsey. Commissioners voting nay: Hill, Schiller and Demirjian. Cal. No. 98-37 Petition of DON McMII.,LEN to rezone a tract of land located at the northeast corner of Arbor Drive and North Oakland Avenue from R-1 Single Family Residence District to R-3 Single Family Residence District. Mr. Phillip Cochran, Consulting.Engineer, was present and spoke for the petition representing Mr. McMillen. Mr. Cochran stated that Mr. McMillen had purchased this parcel and the parcel next door. The property to the south is zoned R-3 and to the west is a Planned Unit Development. The existing watermain is in Arbor Drive and there is a sanitary sewer on site. The single family development would use less water than the previously proposed development at � this location. Mr. Cochran clarified that the total acreage is 15 acres. The petition for rezoning includes only the west five acres. A subdivision plat will hopefully be submitted ne�month. There were no objectors present. Mrs. Townsend presented the recommendation of staff: The subject petition requests that the premises commonly known as the northeast corner of Oakland Avenue and Arbor Drive be rezoned from R-1 Single Family Residence District to R-3 Single Family Residence District. Containing approximately five acres, the area in question is presently undeveloped. The purpose of the proposed rezoning is to allow the construction of a single family subdivision. Inasmuch as property to the immediate south and east aze presently zoned R-3 Single Family Residence District, staff is of the opinion that the proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with zoning and lot patterns in the general area. Further, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates this tract as a Single Family Residence District.
