. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 4 February 22, 1989 DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED PUBLIC HEARING ON 1986 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Mr. Goldman stated that in consultation with others, planning staff had recognized that the 1986 Comprehensive Plan omits resolution of the issue of shallow-depth commercial zoning along Olive Boulevard. There is no recommendation in the Plan for considering rezoning for commercial use to a greater depth where appropriate. Although the Plan does not prohibit expansion of commercial areas, the city could face legal challenge to commercial rezonings as being not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Goldman recommended that the issue of shallow-depth commercial zoning along Olive Boulevard be included in the Comprehensive Plan. The Chairman directed Ms. Elwood to schedule the requested hearing and to publish due notice thereof. Mr. Rice suggested that the affected neighborhood groups be specifically notified as a courtesy for their input. Ms. Kreishman asked if such a change to the Plan would preclude consideration of Medium Density Residential development. Mr. Goldman replied that it would not. Mr. Kendall suggested that any former Commission members be included in notification of the hearing. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Wagner reviewed for Commission members the following City Council action on planning and zoning items: 1. City Council approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Central Auto Service, Inc. at 8041 Olive Boulevard. 2. City Council approval of the Record Plat for the Westover Center Tract. 3. City Council approval of minor modification to the site plan for Dubbles Drive-In Restaurant, 7290 Olive Boulevard. 4. City Council denial of Site Plan Review for proposed single family infill home at 7060 Kingsbury Boulevard. 5. City Council approval of Site Plan Review for new retail/office space at 7267 Olive Boulevard. Ms. Elwood informed members that the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) voted at its February 7th meeting not to fund a study at this time of the neighborhood bounded by North and South and Hanley Roads, Delmar Boulevard and the south City limits. According to Mary Fahey, Executive Director of the IDA, the members expressed concern that a study conducted at this time, without imminent development pressures, might be disruptive to the neighborhood. The IDA does, however, support the Plan Commission's desire to define an overall concept for development of areas and would seriously consider future requests. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
