(E) The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) Within the Comprehensive Plan: The FLUP indicates this property is within the Central Area land use. However, approximately one -half block north of this property, and across Pine Bluff, Retail use is recommended north and northwest; Commercial is recommended to the northeast. (F) Additional Staff Comments: The fire marshal has stated that he has no issues regarding fire, explosives, etc. The city engineer stated that there is a need for a 5' (five foot) ROW dedication on Pine Bluff and 1St Street NE, but that there is not a need for a utility ROW. She stated that there is no floodplain on the subject property, and that there are no other manmade and/or natural environmental constraints on the subject property. (G) Site Plan: Since there is an existing structure on site that will be used if this rezoning is granted, site plan information will consist of photographs of the existing structure and property, in addition to other staff requirements during the actual development process. (H) Staff Comments Regarding This Recommendation: The city staff supports this rezoning request for the following reasons: (a) The subject property is close to the Main Street corridor extending north from the N. Main/Pine Bluff /Graham intersection; the N. Main corridor is characterized by a variety of motor vehicle uses, a number of which are outside, and more intensive in land use, than this proposed auto detail shop which will be enclosed; (b) Currently, across Pine Bluff, and to the north of the subject property, approximately one —half block north of Pine Bluff, is a Commercial (C) Zoning District corridor extending north, northwest, and northeast of this subject property; (c) The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) does continue to recommend a CA use for this subject property; however, the FLUP also recommends Retail land use approximately one —half block north of the subject property, and recommends Commercial use approximately one -half block to the northeast; (d) An automobile detailing shop will add an additional automobile— oriented use in Paris, and therefore create a new use in an otherwise vacant building; (e) The proposed use is at the periphery of the CA Zone, very near to existing commercial and retail uses, and staff believes that this proposed use will not have a negative effect on the existing or future functioning of the city's historical central area; and RECOMMENDATION: Approve a change in zoning from a Central Area District (CA) to a Central Area District (CA) with a Specific Use Permit (Automobile Detailing Shop), on City Block 40, Lot 1 —A, located at 98 Pine Bluff Street.
