DANETTE MOORE, PLANNING COORDINATOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING THE ZONING MAP FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 4151 WILLOWWOOD STREET SE
(FAIRVIEW MEDICAL CLINIC) FROM LOW
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (R-l) TO NEIGHBORHOOD
COMMERICIAL (C-l).
(Case File #05-141)
Historv: In 1995 Lots 1-3, Block 2, Westbury Ponds 2nd
Addition were combined to create the 1.5 acre site and allow
for the development of the property as a Fairview Medical
Clinic.
In 1995 a medical clinic with a Conditional Use Permit was a
permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. On April 3,
1995 a Conditional Use Permit was granted for the Fairview
Medical Clinic at 4251 Willowwood Street SE.
In 1999 the City Council approved the 2020 Comprehensive
Land Use Plan Map to designate the subject property as C-
NR (Neighborhood Retail). Consequently, the clinic is a
legal nonconforming use ifit remains zoned R-1.
On May 23, 2005, the Planning Commission held a public
hearing on this item. The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the Zoning Map Amendment
because it is consistent with the comprehensive plan
designation.
Current Circumstances: The following are the physical
characteristics of the subj ect property.
Total Site Area: The site is approximately 1.5 acres in area.

Vegetation: The site contains minimal vegetation.
Wetlands: There are no wetlands located on the site.
Access: Access to the site is from Willowwood Street.

The property is bounded by Hwy 13, Five Hawks Avenue,
and Willowwood Street.
Issues: The applicant is not proposing to change the use or
the existing structure. Rather, the applicant would like to
update the sites signage and will need to rezone the site to
utilize the permitted signage within the C-1 Zoning District.
The Zoning Code states; "The purpose of the 'C-J'
Neighborhood Commercial Use District is to provide for low
intensity, service oriented commercial uses for surrounding
residential neighborhoods." Permitted uses in the C-1 use
district include medical/dental offices, retail, offices, services,
banks, museums, funeral homes, libraries, park/open space,
and police/fire stations.
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan states; "The C-NR category
provides for smaller centers that are highly compatible with
residential neighborhoods which typically will be within easy
walking distance or within five minute driving time of
residents within the primary neighborhood." The use as a
medical clinic would appear consistent with the adj acent
residential neighborhood.

CONCLUSION:
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Section 1108.600 of the Zoning Ordinance identifies the
following policies for amendments to the Official Zoning
Map:
· The area, as presently zoned, is inconsistent with the
policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan, or the land
was originally zoned erroneously due to a technical or
administrative error, or
· The area for which rezoning is requested has changed or
is changing to such a degree that it is in the public
interest to rezone so as to encourage redevelopment of the
area, or
· The permitted uses allowed within the proposed Use
District will be appropriate on the subject property and
compatible with adjacent properties and the
neighborhood.
The current R-l zoning of the property is inconsistent with
the C-NR (Neighborhood Retail) land use designation on the
2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. The proposed C-l
zoning is consistent with the C-NR designation. Accordingly,
the requested zoning map amendment will carry out the goals,
objectives, and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan.
The proposed R-l zoning is consistent with the R-L/MD land
use designation on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Map. Based upon the findings set forth in this report, staff
recommends approval. The Planning Commission supported
staff s recommendation.
The City Council has two alternatives:
1. Adopt an ordinance approving the rezoning as requested.
2. Defer consideration of this item and provide staff with
specific direction.
Staff recommends Alternative # 1. This action requires the
following motions:
1. A motion and second adopting an ordinance rezoning the
property located at 4151 Willowwood Street SE from R-l
