Vicinity Map / General Location Map Figure 2. Project Site (Aerial Photo) Page 2 of 5  Project: Blue Springs Chiropractic Health Center Plan Case Number: RZ-11-14-4664 BACKGROUND INFORMATION/SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to change the zoning on this property from “T4” (General Urban) to “T5” (Urban Center). The applicant proposes to build a chiropractic health center on this property. The 2006 Downtown Master Plan identifies this area as the “Main Street Approach”. The Plan states “as the properties redevelop, they should do so in primarily a residential manner, but could have designs that could transition to other uses.” The approval of the Downtown Development Code (DDC) in 2007 identified this property as suitable for live/work type buildings on the Downtown Zoning Map Overlay (pg. 46 attached). The applicant is proposing to build a “Type IV: Small Commercial Building” as identified in the DDC on page 13 (attached). (This type of building is not allowed in the T4 zone, and only with a Conditional Use Permit in the T5 zone.) The DDC defines the T4 zone as having a denser and primarily residential urban fabric. Mixed-use is usually confined to certain corner locations. This zone has a wide range of building types: singles, rowhouses, apartment buildings and more. Setbacks and street tree settings are variable. Streets typically define medium-sized blocks. The DDC defines the T5 zone as the equivalent of the main street area. This zone includes mixed-use building types that will accommodate retail, office and dwellings, including rowhouses and apartments. This zone is a tight network of streets and blocks with wide sidewalks, steady street tree plantings and buildings set close to the frontages. PREVIOUS ACTIONS/APPROVALS: The project was reviewed by the Downtown Review Board (DRB) on December 3, 2014. The board voted 5-0 to recommend denial of the application. FUTURE APPLICATIONS/REVIEWS ANTICIPATED OR REQUIRED: The City Council will review the recommendation of the Planning Commission on the Rezoning request. The applicant will then present a site plan that will include all related building elevations to the Downtown Review Board. The DRB will make a recommendation to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will review the project in a hearing for the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan/Design Review. Attached are recommendations from the Public Works Department to be considered for future applications. ABUTTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Direction Current Zoning Surrounding Land Uses North: T4 Main St/small commercial businesses South: T3/T4 Residential East: T4 8th St./ small commercial businesses West: T3/T4 Vacant Page 3 of 5  Project: Blue Springs Chiropractic Health Center Plan Case Number: RZ-11-14-4664 RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not recommend approval of the Rezoning as it is in stark contradiction to the Downtown Master Plan direction for this block of Main Street. REVIEW CRITERIA: In reviewing any application for an amendment to the official Zoning Map (zoning change), the Planning Commission and City Council shall review the proposed amendment in light of the Comprehensive Plan, the general requirements of the Unified Development Code and the following considerations: 1. Whether or not the requested zoning change is justified by a change in conditions since the original ordinance was adopted or by an error in the original ordinance; The approved Downtown Master Plan is the guiding document for development in Downtown Blue Springs. The conditions that existed at this location when the Plan was approved still exist today. The vision of this portion of Main Street is to be primarily residential in nature. Achieving a higher residential density in Downtown Blue Springs is essential for future economic growth. 2. The precedents, and the possible effects of such precedents, that might result from approval or denial of the petition; An approval of this rezoning request at this time would devalue the goals of the Downtown Master Plan. Allowing the conversion of primarily residential space to allow a single use commercial building with no residential component would diminish the amount of available area critical to achieve the higher density goals of the Plan. 3. The ability of the City or other government agencies to provide any services, facilities or programs that might be required if the petition were approved; All City services are in place at this location. 4. The effect of approval on the condition or value of property in the City or in the vicinity; The use of this property for a small commercial building does not provide the maximum benefit that could be derived if the current zoning is in place and it is developed to the maximum potential that would be allowed. 5. The consistency of the application with adopted policies of the City; The City of Blue Springs and other groups invested in Downtown Blue Springs are in agreement with the goals of the Downtown Master Plan. As stated the current plan is not consistent with the adopted policies of the Downtown Master Plan. Page 4 of 5  Project: Blue Springs Chiropractic Health Center Plan Case Number: RZ-11-14-4664 6. The zoning and land use recommended by the Comprehensive Plan. The Downtown Master Plan is the guiding document for development in the core of the City of Blue Springs. The visions and goals of this plan were established by the hard work and dedication of many residents, land owners, business owners and public officials of Blue Springs. A significant alteration in that vision would be significant deviation from the established goals.
