(D) Proposed Zoning of the Subject Property The applicant is proposing to zone the property to <br />the General Retail District (GR). <br />(E) The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) within the Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use <br />Plan recommends that this subject property be developed as Low — Density Residential (LDR) <br />use, and the FLUP text states that "this use is representative of traditional, single — family <br />detached dwelling units." Property adjacent to the west of this subject property, and south, <br />east, and southeast is also recommended on the FLUP as LDR use. Property adjacent to the <br />north of the subject property is recommended for Retail use; property northeast is <br />recommended for High Density Residential (HDR). The HDR use is "traditional apartment — <br />type units in attached living complexes (that) characterize high density residential land use." <br />(F) The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan: The Existing Parks And Open Space <br />map indicates that this subject property is within the Neighborhood Parks '/4 mile Service <br />Radius for Wade Park. <br />The Trails and Sidewalk Plan Map does not indicate that the sidewalk along the subject <br />property is designated as part of the City Sidewalks program (however, the Sidewalk Plan <br />regarding Hubbard Street does indicate this plan extending west from 24th Street S.E. to 17th <br />Street S.E.) <br />The Future Parks and Open Spaces Plan map continues to indicate Wade Park as a <br />Neighborhood Park and this map also indicates Wade Park as planned to be one of the city's <br />Renovated Parks. <br />(G) The Major Thoroughfare Plan: This plan indicates that Collegiate Drive is designated as an <br />Arterial Roadway; Hubbard Street is a Local Street. <br />(H) There are several options that can be considered regarding this rezoning request: <br />Option 1. Recommend approval of this rezoning request. <br />(a) This would allow expansion of the parking lot for this existing restaurant, and thereby <br />potentially increase its business. <br />(b) Approval of this request will reflect the three elements that comprise Spot Zoning, which <br />is an inappropriate city planning action: (1) A small parcel of land is singled out for <br />special and privileged treatment; (2) the singling out is not in the public interest but only <br />for the benefit of the land owner; and (3) the action is not in accord with the <br />comprehensive plan. <br />2 <br />
