March 24, 1999 Plan Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4 Mr. Price stated that he would vote against the amendment because of the store’s close proximity to residential uses. The Plan Commission determined that the evidence presented to the Plan Commission does not support the conclusion that the proposed conditional use amendment: a) Complies with all applicable provisions of the University City 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) Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, neighborhood development plan (if applicable), and any other official planning and development policies of the City; and e) Will provide off-street parking and loading areas in accordance with the standards contained in Article 7 of the University City Zoning Code. Mr. Price moved that the Plan Commission not recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment. The motion was seconded by Ms. Peniston and passed by a vote of 5 to 0, with all members voting “aye” (Mr. Reed was not present for this agenda item).
