It was moved by Coulter to recommend the Council grant the request for the area requirement variance and the .request for the zoning variance on the following basis: 1. The property in question is presently zoned commercial. The request to change the zoning to ,mu.ltiple dwelling would ,be a substantial up-grading of the use of this p-1.rrerty. A multiple dwelling complex such as the one proposed by . Century Cap--*.al, Inc. would constitute. the highest and best use for this property and would'be more 's.n keeping with the surrounding development. 2. A multiple dwelling complex of this size would be of great benefit to the over all Village tax structure. 3. The proposed complex. would be a marked improvement over the present. • use of this property. 4. The fireproof construction of these buildings would decrease the possibility of fire even in this complex with a _higher density of 'units. Page 1 of 2.
