MEM 11 11 ALLEN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION JULY 22, 1982 PAGE 3 Public Hearing - On a Request for Zoning Change on 203A E. Main from LR to GB (Cont.) Chairman Pendleton opened the Public Hearing. On one appeared to speak either for or against the request. Chairman Pendleton read two letters opposing the request into the record. One letter being from Don Brazeal Insurance and the other from Dick Senter, Pastor, First Baptist Church (copies attached). Chairman Pendleton closed the Public Hearing. Some concerns discussed by the Commission included why a glass company could not be located in a LR district; what adjacent property owners thought of the rezoning; what business could locate on the site if the zoning were changed to GB and the glass company folded. There was also some discussion on the zoning in the downtown area as a whole. The Commission also discussed the possibility of alternate ways of allowing the glass company to locate in the LR district. Commissioner Wolfe read some Commission findings into the record as follows: 1. There are seven other areas in the city zoned General Business. 2. Such a change would result in spot zoning of General Business in a Local Retail district. 3. Rezoning was requested due to the nature of the structure, not in accordance with the zoning practice. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Wolfe and second by Commissioner Glass, the Commission voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed to deny the request for zoning change as requested by this agenda item due to the fact that such a change would be inconsistent with the established criteria for zoning change in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The motion carried. General Discussion: The Commission discussed the possibility of initiating an amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to include specific use permit in the Local Retail district for auto glass business. R!I 11 ALLEN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION JULY 22, 1982 PAGE 4 There was some discussion on whether the Commission wanted to adopt the update to Planning District 4, as revised by Frank Osgood Associates, as part of the Compre- hensive Plan.
