. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 6 March 22, 1989 18. Olive Boulevard 181.2 acres "GC" various retail, service, office or warehousing And finally, Mr. Rice suggested that the following proposed amendment read: Page 40, add the following: The area on both sides of Olive Boulevard is owned by numerous owners of small lots, with a number of vacant or deteriorating bUildings. Off-street parking is scarce and pedestrian traffic is endangered due to the lack of sidewalks and numerous curbcuts. The lack of trees and green space contributes to the unattractiveness of this area. The City should encourage development of new retail, service, office or light warehousing uses as appropriate in this area. The depth of lots along Olive Boulevard may need to be increased to provide adequate parking, building setbacks, pedestrian sidewalks and landscaping along Olive, as well as provide suitable buffers between these developments and the adjacent residential areas. Moreover, the City should work with developers to encourage the assemblage of parcels large enough to build projects of the type the City hopes to attract to the area.

Ms. Kreishman seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0. Chairman McCauley indicated that the City Council would be reviewing these proposed amendments in the near future.
