FROM A DESIGNATION OF "HIGHWAY ORIENTED COMMERCIAL" TO "RESIDENTIAI.
HIGH DENSITY" FOR PROPERTIES GENERALLY
LOCATED ON CRYSTAL STREET,APPROXIMATELY 400'
WEST OF SOUTH DUFF AVENUE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the subject area under consideration, referred to as the Armstrong Subdivision, 2nd
Addition,is located on Crystal Street approximately 400'east of South Duff Avenue/U. S. Highway 69;and,
WHEREAS,under the"old"Zoning Ordinance, the subject area had received site plan approval by
City staff to construct three mixed-use buildings; and,
WHEREAS,under today's Highway-Oriented Commercial zoning, this type of a mixed residential
use would be deemed non-conforming; and,
WHEREAS,the developer is requesting a change to the current land use designation on the Land
Use Policy Plan Map from"Highway-Oriented Commercial" to "Residential High Density;" and,
WHEREAS, since a multi-family development is considered a suitable buffer between low-density
residential and commercial land uses and a multi-family use has already been approved for the subject area,
staff believes that a land use change is justified; and,
WHEREAS,the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of June
21, 2000, and approval was recommended.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, that a
Land Use Policy Plan Map change from a designation of"Ilighway-Oriented Commercial"to "Residential
High Density" for properties generally located on Crystal Street, approximately 400' west of South Duff
