PLANNING REPORT T0: Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: David Licht DATE: 6 March 1985 RE: Steneroden Rezoning /Conditional Use Permit Request FILE NO: 758.09 - 85.07 CASE BACKGROUND Mr. Roane Waite has filed applications for rezoning and a conditional use permit on behalf of Ruth Steneroden, the owner of a long narrow strip of property fronting on Rice Street and extending eastward to the Schreier development, south of the tier of lots on Iona Lane (see attached location map). The property is presently zoned R -1. The requested change is to B -3, intense commercial. A conditional use permit has also been applied for, for the development of a car wash. The only details provided relative to this proposed use are found in a letter from Mr. Waite dated 12 February 1985 and attached to this report as Exhibit B. Mr. Waite and Ms. Steneroden have been formally advised by letter that insufficient information has been submitted and that review of the conditional use permit will be delayed until such time as data as specified by the Zoning Ordinance is provided by the applicant. In the material which follows, only the rezoning request has been addressed. In considering this matter, the Commission and Council may wish only to comment generally on the request and not undertake final recommendation or decisions until such time as the proposed use of the property is more clearly and precisely defined. REZONING REQUEST EVALUATION The aerial photo of the site, attached as Exhibit C, illustrates the problems and difficulties of the rezoning question, as well as the development possibilities which are involved.
