Z-82-1 APPLICANT: Drs. Feldman and Stidwell STATUS OF APPLICANT: Owners REQUESTED ACTION: Rezone from R-2 (Low-Density Residential) to H-M (Hospital- Medical) PURPOSE FOR REQUEST (as stated by Applicant) : "Future expansion needs of adjacent dental practice." LOCATION: 118 East 13th Street LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Emery Subdivision, East 40 feet of Lot 4; West 9.5 feet, North 132 feet of Lot 3; West 24 feet, South 66 feet of Lot 3. SIZE: + 10,758 sq. ft. EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: North: Residential; R-2 South: Dental Clinic; H-M East: Residential; R-2 West: Dental Clinic; H-M FINDINGS: Land Use Policy Plan The subject property is in a transition area between the Hospital-Medical designation and the Low-Density designation, and it is difficult to determine which designation is applicable to this particular lot. Zoning History The lot has been zoned R-2 since 1965 when the current zoning classifica- tions were adopted. Public Utilities Water -- 6" water line in East 13th Street Sanitary Sewer -- 8" sanitary sewer line in East 13th Street Storm Sewer -- 33" storm sewer line in East 13th Street -2- Vehicular Access Access is provided from East 13th Street. Physical Characteristics Vegetation -- Types generally found in areas developed for urban purposes. Terrain -- Generally flat. Drainage -- Generally to the east and south. Soils -- N/A Flooding -- Not subject to flooding. ANALYSIS: 1. As noted, the subject property is located in the transition area between the H-M zone and R-2 zone, and the actual designation of the lot is a matter for interpretation by the Commission. 2. The subject property is adjoined on the west and south by property zoned H-M. If the east boundary line of the H-M district south of the subject property were extended north, the subject property would be included in the H-M zone. 3. The subject property is to be used for future expansion of the adjacent dental clinic and not for construction of a new clinic. The same situation existed when the lot to the south was rezoned H-M so it could be included as part of the development of the dental clinic at 1212 Duff Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Planning and Housing recommends that this request be approved.
