X <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />DATE: June 20, 1996 <br />ITEM NO.: <br />Department Approvsd: <br />Name Jeanne A. Mabusth <br />Title Building & Zoning Administrator <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: Referral of Development Proposal to the Plaiming Commission for Sketch <br />Plan Review For Property Located at 2380 Shad>-wood Road (former Grace Baptist Church Site) <br />Invohing a Rezoning of Residential Property to Commercial <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Site Plan <br />B - Comprehensive Plan <br />C - Street Elevation <br />John O’Sullivan and Erwin Smith propose the submittal of conceptual plans for the commercial <br />development of residential propert>' to the immediate north of the former Martin Service Station <br />property. The proposal consists of two structures, single stoiy bank with roofed drive-in teller <br />facilities and two stor>' office building. Review Exhibit C, the applicants propose a mixed office use <br />with limited retail outlets or store fronts at the low ' level. They have suggested retail uses such as <br />a pharmacy, floral shop, card or specialty shops. <br />The only district that lists office uses with retail is the B-5 but the purpose of the B-5 zoning district <br />is to provide businesses that supply commodities or perfom-i a serv ice pririiarily for residents in the <br />surrounding neighborhood, which businesses are not high traffic generators and do not necessitate <br />an inordinate amount of hardcover. The code notes the district may adjoin residential districts or <br />other business districts which are subject to more restrictive controls. The code goes on to note that <br />because of the location of the B-5 district only found in Navarre, the uses are limited in order to <br />minimize hardcover and the generation of traffic because of historic traffic problems in Navarre. <br />The proposed intensity of uses may pose a conflict with the B-5 zoning district. <br />Also, the proposal involves two principal structures on one parcel. This requires a planned unit <br />development (P.U.D.) The City code does not include the P.U.D. option for the Navarre area. <br />Applicants have also been advised that the comprehensive vacation of Navarre Lane was not <br />approved by the Council and they advised that they would once again seek to vacate the remainder <br />of Navane Lane as originally proposed and that they would be willing to grant a bike trail/pedestrian <br />walkway easement through the property. In fact they noted that the walkway or bike trail could be <br />located within the landscaped pond area and outlet at the north of the property rather than at the busy <br />1 <br />intersection.
