John Dulmer, City Planning Consultant described petition and gave a brief description of the
subject property and surrounding area. He explained that the applicant is using an existing facility
and due to that, the proposed business should have no impact on the surrounding properties. The
requested change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan requirements, is specifically
authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations, will not have adverse
effect on the public interest, the use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably
compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use
patterns. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a
deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property, the proposed use will not create
a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, street, and utility services
the proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise
affect public safety, the proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary
restrictions.

III.
The Board discussed the difference between Heavy Commercial zoning vs. other less dense
Commercial zoning districts, due to the close proximity to residential zoning. It was established
that the property adjacent to the East ofthe subject property is currently zoning Heavy Commercial
Mr. Rob Willson, property owner and applicant, addressed the Board. Mr. Willson explained that
he considered rezoning the property to other less dense Commercial zoning districts. However he
felt for long term purposes that it would be best to rezone the property to Heavy Commercial now.
He feels that within the next twenty years or so that most of the blocks fronting Parrott Avenue and
S.R. 70 will be zoned for Heavy Commercial
