AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: A public hearing for consideration of approval to rezone property from A-1; Agricultural to C-1; Neighborhood Commercial located at 1402 E. Independence. (Applicant: Mehdi Azimi) Case #P26-07
.
Mr. Azimi was in the audience.
Chairman Holt asked for the Staff Report. Nancy McNayr presented the staff report. The applicant is requesting the rezoning to allow for a day care at this address. Mrs. McNayr explained the Shawnee Comprehensive Plan depicts this area as suitable for low intensity residential. This request is in questionable conformance to the Comprehensive Plan. The use is compatible with the area and the Future Land Use Map, but the C-1 zoning district allows higher intensity uses than the Comprehensive Plan projects for this area. A day care is a Conditional Use in R-3. Commercial uses are typically preferred at intersections, not mid-block. A more appropriate zoning district would be either R3 with a Conditional Use Permit to allow a day care; or a Planned Unit Development that outlines uses compatible with the neighborhood and allows uses too intense for the residential character of the area to be either eliminated or limited in scale.
Staff recommends denial of the request for C-1; Neighborhood Commercial, but recommends R-3 with a Conditional Use Permit for a day care.
Chairman Holt asked if there were any questions. Mrs. McNayr answered questions from the Commission.
Chairman Holt opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone for the proposal. Mr. Mehdi Azimi came forward with his reasons for wanting the rezoning. He purchased the property 2 years ago assuming the proper zoning was in place since it was a nursing home. He stated he would prefer C-1 zoning. To apply for a PUD he would have to go thru the rezoning process again. There was a lengthy discussion between the applicant and the Commission.
Chairman Holt opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone against the proposal. No one came forward.
After careful consideration Chairman Holt asked for a motion, Commissioner Slavens made a motion, seconded by Commissioner London to approve the rezoning of 1402 E. Independence to R-3P with a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a day care.
Motion carried:
AYE: Slavens, London, Holt, Jones and Nickles
NAY: None
ABSTAIN: None
