June 25, 1997 Plan Commission Minutes Page 2 level prior to its final disposition. Although approval for the construction of the condominiums is not under review by the Plan Commission (it will be decided separately under Site Plan Review by City Council), it should be noted that the proposal appears to meet the minimum zoning requirements of §34-39 of the Zoning Code. The Plan Commission must make a recommendation to the City Council about whether the properties should be rezoned from “SR” - Single Family Residential District to “PD” - Planned Development District. The 1986 Comprehensive Plan states on page 40, “The northern part of Clayton in the area generally between Hanley Road and Brentwood Blvd. has been the site of a considerable amount of high-quality condominium multifamily residential construction. The expansion of these development activities into University City should be encouraged. This northward thrust from Clayton also has the potential for revitalizing the commercial area in the vicinity of North and South and Delmar with new office building development.” The Zoning Code states that the intent of the "PD" - Planned Development District is to encourage the reuse or redevelopment of land in areas suitable for the establishment of high-quality multi-family and offices uses..." The Plan Commission and City Council recently approved a rezoning expansion to the “PD” District across the street from this site. A three-story apartment complex proposal there was approved by City Council under a site plan review. The Planning Department is awaiting plans for construction. The “PD” zoning on the west side of North and South meets the goals of the comprehensive plan and the intent of the PD zoning district. This proposed expansion of the “PD” zoning district will create an additional 195 foot street frontage which will promote development for high quality multi-family uses in the area and should be supported by the Plan Commission. He recommends approval of the application, with final enactment by the city council based on their approval of a specific development on the site. Mr. Price moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the map amendment (rezoning) at 501, 509 and 515 North & South from "SR" - Single Family Residential to "PD" - Planned Development District. The motion was seconded by Ms. Glassman and passed by a vote of 5 to 0 with members voting “aye.” Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit Amendment #266(D), addition of rear porches to single family detached homes in the University Place Subdivision (in particularly at 929 Barnard College) Chairperson Solodar announced that a public hearing was scheduled to hear an application from the Trustees of University Place Subdivision represented by Carol and Kenneth Kirk for an amendment to the conditional use to allow the addition of rear porches to the single family detached homes in the University Place subdivision (and in particular at the Kirk’s home at 929 Barnard College). The Chairperson noted the Commission's procedures and criteria for reviewing conditional use permits and amendments to them. He specifically stated that the Plan Commission must consider whether the use: a) complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code; b) at the specific location will contribute to and promote the community welfare or convenience; c) will not cause substantial injury to the value of neighboring property; d) complies with the overall neighborhood development plan and existing zoning district provisions; and e) will provide, if applicable, off-street m-6-25.plc
