Members Present: Members Absent: Others Present: Arthur Harris, Chairman Edward Blachsheare Robert Karns David Berrien Philip Logan Rudy Sloan Victor Gischler Jeff Davis C. B. Franklin W. E. Knowles, City Manager L. J. Risner, Zoning Official The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. The first item of business was the holding of a Public Hearing to consider a request to rezone from SR -1 (Sirgle- Family Residen- tial) District to MR -2 (Multiple- Family Dwelling) District the area of the 2600 block of Sanford Avenue, being more particu- larly described as follows: Lots 1 through 15, Block 4, Lots 1 through 18 and 28 through 33, Block 2, Palm Terrace Subdivision. The Chairman announced he would hear from anyone in favor of the proposed rezoning. Mr. Everett Harper, representing the applicants, presented a plan showing proposed construction of a church and eventually a church school with recreation area. The Rev. D. D. Elliott and Mr. Frank Price of the Church of The Nazerene were present to support their request for rezoning. The Chairman announced he would hear from anyone against the proposed rezoning. No one appeared in opposition. After discussion, it was the opinion of the board members that a recommendation for amending the Zoning Ordinance would be preferable to recommending a conditional use in an SR -1 zone for a church. Mr. Logan made the motion to recommend that the City Commission amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow churches as a conditional use in all residential zones. The motion was seconded by Mr. Karns and was carried by unanimous vote. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes February 15, 1973 Page 2 A Public Hearing was next held to consider a request to rezone from MR -1 (Multiple- Family Residential) District to GC -2 (General Commercial) District two lots in the 2800 block of Sanford Avenue, described as follows: Lots 47 and 48, Parkview Subdivision The Chairman announced that he would hear from anyone in favor of, or against, the rezoning. Mr. Duane Harrell, part owner of the property, was present and explained the proposed use for the property was for a western wear and equipment shop. No one appeared to oppose the rezoning. After discussion, it was the feeling of the board that they could not recommend the rezoning of these two lots which are not con- tiguous to a commercial zone and that it was best to adhere to the overall zoning plan. On the motion of Mr. Berrien, second of Mr. Logan and carried, the request for a recommendation for rezoning Lots 47 and 48, Parkview Subdivision was denied. The next item for consideration was a request by the owner, Mrs. Lois Huffman, for a proposed nonconforming use of a building located at 1501 West First Street. Mrs. Huffman was present and explained that there were two or three buyers interested and waiting for a decision on use of the property. Her property covers the entire block and at present there is a Paint & Body Shop on it as a nonconforming use in RMOI District. After discussion, it was suggested that Mrs. Huffman make applica- tion for a Public Hearing for consideration of rezoning her property from RMOI (Multiple- Family Residential, Office and Institutional) District to GC -2 (General Commercial) District. Mrs. Huffman agreed to make application for rezoning and the date of March 1, 1973, was set for such hearing. Next Mr. John L. Nuccitellk, builder, contractor and realtor, pre- sented a site plan of Robaugh Properties for a quadruplex situated on Lots 3 and 4, Avocado Terrace. The general location being be- tween Poplar Avenue and Avocado Avenue. Mr. Nuccitelli stated that they were saving as many of the large trees on the property as possible by going around the trees in the parking area. After consideration, on motion of Mr. Logan, seconded by Mr. Blacksheare and carried unanimously, the site plan was approved by the board. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes February 15, 1973 Page 3 Mr. Richard Davis, representing Wilco Construction, was present to ask the board to consider a site plan for expansion of the Geneva Gardens Apartment complex located on West 25th Street and Ridgewood Avenue. There was a discussion on the proposed density of 16 units per acre and the fact that there was a previous agree- ment for density of 12 units per acre. After discussion, Mr. Davis was informed that the board could not consider approval of the site plan because it did not conform with the concept for Geneva Gardens as approved previously after public hearing. Next a workshop session was set for March 1, 1973 at 7:00 P. M. for review of the Site Plan Standards and Guidelines. There was a discussion next concerning the PUD 72 -3 Carriage Cove and Americana project, and a report that the City Commission tabled action on the master plan for this development on the basis of its not meeting density requirements of the present zoning ordinance. No action was taken. On motion of Mr. Blacksheare, seconded by Mr. Berrien and carried, the minutes of the meeting of February 1, 1973, were approved. There being no further business, on the motion of Mr. Berrien, second of Mr. Blacksheare and carried, the meeting was adjourned. Arthur H. Harris, Chairman
