35. Staff Recommendation
• Planning staff recommends approving the proposed
Zone Change request with conditions.

36. Analysis – Basis for Recommendation
• This proposed use provides education and
entertainment elements that are complimentary to the
area, given previous use.
• Comprehensive Plan seeks to promote public arts and
cultural opportunities for youth.
• Possibly, area residents will use this facility.
• Comprehensive Plan also seeks to “create new
physical connection to neighborhoods lined with
transitional and intermediate uses.”
• A variety of such uses are near to subject property.

37. Analysis – Basis for Recommendation
• Adding the proposed use lends itself to the idea of
connectivity where activities provide opportunities to
gather together socially which can strengthen
community ties.
• Proposed use provides opportunities for recreation
through pedestrian and bicycle experiences .
• If PD amendment accepted, proposed use can run
concurrently to original use of assisted group living
facility, so compatible with original PD plan.

38. Analysis – Basis for Recommendation
• Creation of any PD beings most consistent and
predictable development within the community.
• This solidifies the purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan and goals for this
area.
• Staff therefore finds the proposed use consistent with
all criteria mandated of the request and recommends
approval of the proposed use within the boundary of
PD 07-03 with conditions for the proposed
amendment.
