Andrew Mack states this is same plat, same condition. A Motion was made to approve this item with noted revision by Clifton Fendley, seconded by Francine Neeley. Motion carried 6-0. 18. Discussion of City initiated Zoning Ordinance map amendment from Central Area District (CA) to a Commercial District (C) between Pine Bluff, Graham, NW 3rd and NE 3rd Street. Andrew Mack states we have some uses and businesses in this area that have given us reason to take a look at this larger area to consider initiating and implementing changing the zoning from Central Area to Commercial. Over the past month, discussion has occurred on two different properties regarding businesses not permitted in the Central Area District. One was for a mobile food truck court and another was for the reopening of a closed car wash and plans to reopen and refurbish. In reviewing the Comprehensive Plan- Future Land Use Map these areas are shown as guided for future commercial development. In analyzing this area, the character of commercial development on the north side of Pine Bluff and Graham Streets is that of a strip or corridor commercial development along the collector and thoroughfare roadways. This is very different from the downtown characteristics of the City. Therefore, in order to further implement the Comprehensive Plan and address the immediate needs of future business growth in the community, staff proposes to initiate a multi -parcel rezoning of these properties. Staff brings this to the attention of the Planning Commission for feedback and discussion. The commission advised staff to proceed with this amendment. Staff will prepare a formal amendment application and schedule a public hearing for June. 19. Discussion of Zoning Ordinance amendment to the mobile food truck court.
