,_.,ty of River MEMORANDUM Item #4.1. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Steve Ach, City Planner~r~ December 1, 1997 Request by Jerry Smith for Rezoning from C2 to C1, Public Hearing Case No. ZC 97-7 Request Consider a request by Jerry Smith to rezone property from C2 (Office District) to C 1 (Central Commercial). Overview This rezoning was presented to the City Council last week and after discussion, was tabled to the December 1st Council meeting. Attached are the previous reports presented to the City Council, along with a zoning map exhibit of the downtown area and highlighting the subject property. Included as part of the November 24th City Council report are excerpts from the Zoning Ordinance regarding C 1 and C2. In reviewing this list of permitted and conditional uses a majority of the uses allowed in the C2 are also allowed in the C 1. The most obvious uses included in the C 1 which are not in the C2 and are considered permitted (would not be reviewed by the City Council) are hotels, retail shops and Class I restaurant. The office uses listed as permitted in the C 1 district are also allowed in the C2 district. Traffic The city engineer, police chief and public works director were all contacted regarding the parking issue on Lowell Avenue. A review of this situation will be done prior to the Council meeting with comments being provided at the meeting. As discussed at the last Council meeting, no parking signs currently exist on the east side of Lowell. According to the residents in the neighborhood, there appears to be a parking problem on the street when the business is operating at its full capacity. Recommendation 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
