Is tha 1ReCj31est-_g-rI Zone Designed to Lessen Congestion in
the Strpetn?
Currently, the area proposed for -rezoning is undeveloped.
The uses allowed under the proposed B-3 may generate more
traffic than those allowed under the existing B-1 zoning.
However, North Meridian Road is an arterial within the
city where large volumes of traffic is anticipated, and
since the sites are currently developed, additional
traffic and congestion which might be generated as a
result of zone change are minimal.
Access, fire suppression and circulation in the area are
adequate to secure the area from fire, panic and other
dangers which might compromise the safety of the public.
Rezoning will' not effect the risk and safety factors
which might be associated with this property.
Currently this property is undeveloped. Uses allowed
under this district and intended for this property would
provide services to residences within the immediate area
at a convenient location. it appears that the zone
change would promote the general health and welfare of
the community.
Adequate light and air would be provided both by the
density in the district and the setback requirements for
structures.

All public services and facilities are available to this
site such as fire protection, police protection, schools,
parks and recreation and a good transportation system.
Adequate services can be provided to accommodate the
development of these lots.
PrOTZI �-410 'WILLS VIE''
Currently this property is undeveloped and is in an area
which is transitioning toward a more commercial nature.
The uses permitted on the property would be consistent
and compatible with other uses in the area. The
requested zone change gives adequate consideration to the
suitability of the property for uses allowed in the B-2
district.
The character of the area is commercial, business, and
some high density residential. The requested zone is
consistent with the uses and zoning in the area since it
is intended for this mix of uses.
The value of buildings would generally be stabilized by
this change in zoning and subsequent development since
this will further establish this area as a viable
commercial area. The use planned for this property is a
core commercial use which would be anticipated in an area
such as this and which would be consistent and compatible
with other buildings in the area which are primarily
commercial, office and high density residential.
