PLANNING COMMISSION July 27, 1983 Page 2 CONDITIONAL USE HEARING - ALWINE PROPERTIES, INC. Application for a Conditional Use Permit to establish a storage building/wholesale transport point in the CAD-R District. Location: Northwest corner of Front and Ennis Streets. (Continued from July 13, 1983.) Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report; Chairman Hulett opened the public hearing. Dennis Alwine explained that the proposed business would be a wholesale distribution point for ITT Continental Baking (Wonder Bread) and a retail bread outlet. A 68-foot-long truck would deliver fresh goods once a day at 4:00 AM during weekdays. Bread would be unloaded in 45 minutes on the west side of the building. Sequentially, 24-foot-long local delivery vans will load inside the building behind closed doors and depart at 5:30 AM. The retail operation would operate 7 days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM. The proposed site plan does not contain any land- scaping or buffering along the north property line by the alley because the 68-foot semi requires that area to turn. The Commission, staff, Mr. Alwine and Mr. Del Simmons of Continental Baking, discussed a number of alternative locations for the building in order to determine if buffering could be placed on the north property line. Paul Rose, 220 Ennis Street (across the alley), expressed concern regarding noise and odor resulting from early morning hours of operation. Stella Rose distributed a petition opposing the proposed use. Bill LaRue spoke about alternative locations for the building and sug- gested that the proposed site may not be large enough for the building. Other sites are available and this proposal could be detrimental to the residential neighborhood. Chairman Hulett closed the public hearing following additional discussion. The Commission discussed various aspects of the proposal. Mr. Holm moved to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to four conditions: 1. Lights be directed to the interior of the lot. 2. Self-illuminated signs not be visible from north of the alley. 3. Exterior building lights on the north side of the building be shaded. 4. Fencing or vegetative screening be provided on the alley side of the north property line. Mr. Puckett seconded the motion. Following a discussion, PLANNING COMMISSION July 27, 1983 Page 3 . Ms. Ross moved to amend the motion by striking Condition No.4. Mr. Puckett seconded and this motion passed 6 - 1. On call for the question, the amended motion passed 6 - 1 with Mr. Cornell voting "No" because more buffering was needed. [The Commission took a 5-minute recess.] REZONE HEARING - CITY PLANNING CO~rnISSION. An application to rezone from RS-7 (Single-Family Residen- tial), to OC (Office Commercial) of an approximate 7-block area surrounding Olympic Memorial Hospital. Location: Generally bounded by Francis Street on the west, the Georgiana/Front Street alley on the south, Jones Street on the east, Caroline Street between Jones an~ Chambers on the north, and Chambers on the east, north of Caroline. . Mr. Carr explained that an environmental impact statement would be needed, noting the size and potential impacts, including housing and traffic. Ms. Ross moved to expand the area under consideration for rezone to include Block 36, half of Block 35, and the west half of Block 40, TPA. Mr. Puckett seconded. The motion was denied 4 - 2 with Mr. Puckett and Ms. Ross voting "Yes". Chairman Hulett opened the public hearing. Dr. Rex Averill noted that there should not be a significant increase in the number of doctors in the community in the near future because the number per capita is already high. A smaller area would be sufficient, although there may be less impact if the same number of offices were spread over a larger area. Charles Gilliland, 824 Caroline, expressed concern about poorly maintained lots. Susan Mather, 834 Georgiana, and Bill LaRue gave reasons for rezoning the area around the Hospital to commercial. Chairman Hulett closed the public hearing. Mr. Anderson moved to table consideration of this item to August 10, 1983. Mr. Holm seconded the motion, which passed 6 - 1, with Ms. Ros s voting "No 11 .
