streets in the Skyview neighborhood (curb and gutter)?
Response: (Applicant) A traffic impact study will be analyzed when the
development plan is submitted. This study will provide insight into improvements
that are required, though it is doubtful that the development will have significant
traffic impacts to the south — especially enough to warrant those types of
improvements.
5. Question: (Resident) WHy isn't the applicant pursing'rezoning of the entire--- —
parcel?
Response: (Applicant) A church doesn't need Commercial zoning, and
therefore rezoning of the western portion of the property isn't necessary. Also,
keeping a Community Commercial buffer around the Commercial zone is more
sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood.
6. Several residents commented about their appreciation for the sensitivity and
consideration given to the surrounding neighborhood. One resident expressed
full support for the rezoning request if that would help the church get closer to
developing the western portion of the site.
7. Question: (Resident) Are automobile sales lots permitted in the CC and C
zones,, or just the C zone?
Response: (Planner) Automobile sales and leasing establishments are only
permitted in the Commercial zone district.
