COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 97-55 <br /> May 14, 1997 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members <br /> FROM: James L. Williams; jr�, City Manager <br /> Debora L. Bean, A�ting Director of Community Development ��� <br /> Robert A. McQueen, Senior Planner�'� <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning 16 Mahnke Drive and Ordinance Amending a Planned Unit <br /> - Development at 16 Mahnke Drive and 646 West Pershing Road <br /> The subject petition requests that premises commonly known as 16 Mahnke Drive be rezoned <br /> from R-3 Single Family Residence to O-1 Office District. Further, petitioner requests <br /> amendment to a Planned Unit Development approved by Ordinance # 95-03 regarding premises ' <br /> at 646 West Pershing Road and 16 Mahnke Drive.

However, we <br /> note the provisions as described above of the approved Planned Unit Development by which this <br /> zone was established only two years ago. Further, we note that adjoining properties on the <br /> remaining three sides are all zoned single family residential and accordingly developed. Staff is <br /> of the opinion that the proposed rezoning and plan amendment would not be in keeping with the <br /> intent of the original Planned Unit Development. We recognize the proposed zoning action as <br /> producing non-residential encroachment into an established residential neighborhood with a long <br />
