Ms. Renita Reavis, 117 Green Meadows. Ms. Reavis was against the rezoning. 6. 2018-303 Make recommendation to City Council To consider the proposed rezoning of 12 Herff Road (4.349 acres - KAD 15815) from R-1, Medium-Density Single-Family District to B-1, High-Density Residential and Neighborhood Commercial District (+/- .08 acres) and B-2, Highway Commercial District (+/- 3.5 acres) (ProCore Developments). Ms. Laura Talley described the location of the property and the rezoning request of the 4.349 acres. She explained B-1 zoning is considered a buffer zone that typically abuts a residential district. The developer is proposing that the current house on the property remain. It could possibly be used as a restaurant or office. Staff is supportive and recommends approval. Commissioner Sena asked if there could be a caveat on approval for what businesses are allowed in a B-2 zone. Ms. Talley advised that there could not be a condition placed on the approval. That only applies to items that require City Council approval. Commissioner Sena stated his concern regarding whether the transition was practical from residential to commercial in the rezoning area for the requested B-2. Mr. Andy Friedman, representative for the property owner, stated the rezoning would allow for a possible location for a daycare, coffee shop or small business. He stated the challenges for the development of this site due to the limited access and that they waited for six months until the overlay district was completed before they requested zoning. Commissioner Cohoon asked the property owner what the potential building space could be on this site. Mr. Friedman stated that someone could build 40,000 square feet on this property however they plan to reduce that number to 15,000 - 20,000 square feet.
