':- . .li .4 ...,.. June 8, 1977 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the city Council FROM: James F. Winkels, City Planner RE: Consistency with Long Range Plans - Request of Richard P. Wickre etal Mr. Wickre and his partners have expressed an interest in constructing a small building for engine repair. The proposed location is the parcel immediately south of Caldwell Veterinary Clinic and West of the New Brighton Maintenance Facility (see attached location map). The property presently is occupied by a small wood frame vacant building and was formerly used as a used car dealership. The property is currently zoned I-2, Heavy Industrial. This parcel is covered by the recently adopted interim development control ordinance. This memorandum deals with the question of the consistency of the proposed use wi~h the proposed Comprehensive Plan and Redevelopment Plan. Comprehensive Plan Map Desiqnation The property in question is designated for general business use on the proposed Comprehensive Plan land use map. This classification would have an equivalent zoning category of B-3. The proposed uses for the property - small engine repair, retail sales and offices - are all currently permitted uses in the B-3 category. Redevelopment Plan Map Desiqnation Same as above Comprehensive plan Map designation. Comprehensive Plan Text The Comprehensive Plan states the fOllowing in regards to this property: "The east side of Old 8 in this area is proposed to be a general business area composed of support commercial activities for the adjacent industrial area." The following Comprehensive Plan policies may also be relevant to this question: 1. General business uses should be limited to the general locations of I-694 and Silver Lake Road, Highway 96 and Old Highway 8, 1-694 and 5th Avenue NW and County Road D and Highway 8, for the purpose of limiting the possible intrusion of more intensive uses into residential neighborhoods.
