-FINDINGS OF FACT
Case#:
Address:
(i)
(ii)
Docket 2014-026
2014-026
3535 Mayflower Boulevard
Existing uses of property within the general area of the property in question.
North: Vacant commercial, environmental consulting, storage facilities,
general contractor/warehouse.
South: Distribution and vacant
commercial. East: Commercial/warehouses. West: Moving company.
The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in
question.
North, south, east and west: 1-1.
(iii)
The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the
·
existing zoning classification.
The property contains a structure that has been used as an office
building/warehouse and is suitable for the existing zoning classification.
(iv)
The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in
question, including changes, if any, which have taken place since the day the
property in question was placed in its present zoning classification.
The area has been developed with commercial and industrial uses. Some
areas to the north of the subject property that front on Cockrell have
developed with commercial/retail uses.
(v)
The relationship of the uses allowed under the proposed zoning classification
to the Official City Plan.
The City Plan identifies this area as commercial and the existing 1-1
zoning reflects those uses. However, several parcels to the north have
been rezoned to B-1 to allow development with less intense uses. In
addition, the size and design of the existing structure may be less
suitable for the more intense uses in the 1-1 zoning district.
(vi)
If the Commission finds that both existing zoning classification and the zoning
classification requested in the proposed amendment are inappropriate, the
Commission shall make a finding on the appropriate zoning classification for
the property.
The immediate area is zoned 1-1. However, some properties to the north
have been rezoned to allow some less intense uses. The property owner
proposes to utilize 4,000 sq. ft. of the existing structure to operate a
banquet hall at this location. It is the opinion of staff, that more
information is needed from the petitioner regarding the proposed use
and the use of the balance of the structure before rezoning is
recommended.
AMENDED: Evidence was provided that the remainder of the building
would be used for storage related to the business operations. No
additional impact on the area is expected.

Would the proposed zoning be spot zoning?
Is the proposed zoning in accord with the City Plan?
No
Yes
If not in accord, is the request an acceptable variation?
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend denial. The petitioner is requesting B-1 zoning to utilize 4,00() square feet of the structure for a
banquet hall with a maximum guest capacity of 325. Staff is concerned that while the current and proposed
number of parking spaces meet the regulations, there is inadequate parking to accommodate this use which
is permitted in the B-1 zoning district. More information is needed from the petitioner as to how the parking
needs of the proposed use will be met. In addition, more information is needed about the proposed use of the
remaining portions of the building that will not be used as a banquet facility.
AMENDED: Recommend approval. Evidence was provided that the maximum capacity of the banquet hall is
125 rather than the 325 as stated in the petition. While staff still has concerns regarding availability of parking,
the reduced capacity makes it more likely that all event parking could be on-site. Evidence was also provided
that the remaining portion of the building would be used for storage related to the business.

This property is located by a signalized intersection. We would recommend
denial of varying section155 .111, access to off-street parking facilities, to back
out on the rigbt-ofway. The intersection is located on two arterial streets and
adjacent to a High School. There are more pedestrians in this area due to the
school. We would recommend denial of varying section 155.114, regulations for
location of off-street parking facilities to al)ow parking in the required front yard.
Since this property is located adjacent to a signalized intersection. Parking in the
front yard could compromise the sight distance of the intersection.

RE: April16 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting
John,
The only comment we have this month is regarding the proposed sign for the Mall being proposed on Veteran's
Parkway. It is docket 2014-019. It is proposed to be a 1400 sq ft sign 40 feet tall. When a sign is proposed along our
route and will not be on our Right of Way, our Central Office Bureau of Operations must approve. We have forwarded
the zoning petition to Tim Hoesli in the Central Bureau of land Acquisition, and he responded that the sign will be
considered illegal unless they apply for an on premise sign permit with IDOT and meet our rules. The sign would have to
be reduced to 800 sq ft maximum and the digital portion of the sign would have to have no flashing lights. The applicant
can contact Tim Hoesli directly at 785-0808 if more information is needed.
We see no other issues requiring comment for the zoning petitions this month.
Thank you for keeping us informed of City zoning issues.
