o The proposed site is or will be compatible with present and <br />future land uses of the area. <br />o The proposed use conforms with all performance standards <br />contained herein. <br />o The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the <br />area in which it is proposed. <br />o The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public <br />services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. <br />As noted above, the City needs to be concerned with the <br />compatibility of the office use with the existing single family <br />homes to the north. While the City is not permitted to rezone land <br />conditionally, we believe that the rezoning would be most <br />appropriate with due consideration for screening the parking and <br />driveway areas of the new use from the residential property <br />adjacent. Such screening is in fact required for commercial <br />parking lots in the current Ordinance language. Even though the <br />residential properties may eventually be redeveloped in a similar <br />fashion, the screening would be required at this time. <br />With regard to the subdivision proposal, the properties are being <br />split along previously platted lot lines. This is an appropriate <br />use of the "simple subdivision" process. Lot descriptions will <br />continue to refer to the Lot and Block descriptions as they are <br />now, only in new combinations. <br />RECOMiVIENDATION <br />The subdivision appears to be reasonable and appropriate under the <br />platted lot descriptions as proposed. The rezoning from R -1 to B -3 <br />conforms to each of the requirements of the Ordinance criteria, <br />upon compliance with the screening standards for commercial parking <br />lots. As a result, we recommend approval of the subdivision and <br />rezoning as proposed. <br />cc: Joel Hanson <br />John Palacio <br />John Gerten <br />Glenn A.
