noted that he is under contract for two parcels, the subject parcel of the former Nathaniel <br />Hawthorne Schooland the parcel of the driveway directly east of the subject parcel. <br />-Commercial use development was suggested for this driveway parcel as the neighborhood is <br />lacking commercial space. Mr. Masiel stated that he does not believe this parcel is large <br />enough to accommodate commercial development. <br />-Concerns regarding the extended Millar Park walking path around the subject site were <br />discussed, specifically regarding safety, crowding, traffic and parking, and operational hours. <br />Mr. Masiel stated that there is an existing sidewalk from Carleton Avenue north through the <br />subject site and the proposed expansion of the walking path would link with this sidewalk. <br />The proposed parking areas would also be gated to prevent public parking. Mr. Masiel also <br />noted that the “dusk” closing time for Millar Park and the walking path was a valid point to <br />consider and that additional options for handling this matter would need to be developed. <br />Public Comment -None <br />Mr. Lai stated that staff recommended approval as the proposed “HR” District is appropriate <br />at this location along a major arterial roadway (North Hanley Road)and would provide a <br />transition between “SR” and other “PA” zoned properties nearby.The current “PA” zoning <br />for the site was established most likely due to the former school. <br />A motion was made by Mr. Miller to recommend approval ofthe proposed Zoning Map <br />Amendment.

She stated that this zoning <br />classification was designed to allow for flexibility in the site plan and design so the <br />development can better fit a property. Additionally,the “PD” District zoning and the <br />preliminary plan cannot exist without the other. <br />Ms. Riganti described the uniqueness of the application in that the proposed site plan is to be <br />considered an amendment to the previous Final Development Plan per the Zoning Code. <br />The existing “PD” District zoning is still in place although the development plan has <br />changed. Ms. Riganti further explained the proposal and showed slides of the site and its <br />surrounding properties. <br />The applicant, Jarrett Cooper with Rosemann and Associates, was present, along with Nikki <br />Goldstein with Crown Centerand David Lang, their legal counsel,to provide a more <br />detailed description and background of the proposed rezoning.
