Hawkeye Medical Supply, Inc., is a business establishment selling medical

inventory is maintained within the present building and having reached maxi-
mum capacity, the applicant is proposing to construct a 9,600 square foot

warehouse addition onto his present building. Section 36-56(d)(2)a. indi-
cates, however, "except in the CI -1 Zone, the floor area for storage and
warehousing shall not exceed 40% of the total floor area." The proposed
total arabuilding addition would exceed the 40% limit with approximately 90% of the
warehousinging restrictionoted and to more appropri tely classify the to warousin. So as not to beunaturetof the
business, the applicant is requesting that the property located at 225 East
Prentiss Street be rezoned from CC -2 to CI -1.
ANALYSIS
As an implementation tool of the Comprehensive Plan, zoning is a means of
ensuring that land uses throughout the City are properly situated in relation
to one another, that existing property is protected, and that new growth is
directed into appropriate areas. Rezonings must be evaluated in the context
of the policies and plans of the Comprehensive Plan, and of its relation to
surrounding property.
Land Use:
I Ain a s evidenced by surrounding land use patterns and zoning, the site is located
ination of
I uses, mixed-use area containing a Through time, existing housing bst stock northcof the�al sitenhas ebeen ncon-
verted to rental property and is zoned for high-rise multi -family residential
development, RN -145. The Comprehensive Plan encourages this area to be
redeveloped to permit high density residential and mixed use development
around the downtown core. Between Gilbert and Dubuque streets along Prentiss
east of
Street, che ommercial uses are located east of Ralston Creek/Linn Street and
ElectrictC mp ny to the east and ite. The site is ibyeelevat dbrraillroadbounded ytracksotoCthekSoand uth. To
the west, there is a multi -tenant commercial structure which rears upon the
site, having frontage on Dubuque Street, and a two-family dwelling, having
frontage on Prentiss Street.
The CI -1 Zone is intended to "...provide areas for those sales and service
functions
outdoor displaybusstorage and/or osalet ofsme chandise, are y repair Of z motor
I vehicles, by outdoor commercial amusement and recreational activities, or by
activities or operations conducted in buildings or structures not completely
enclosed. Special attention must be directed toward buffering the negative
aspects of these uses upon any residential use (Section 36-23(a))." Existing
activities, under the present operation have resulted in minimal conflict
with surrounding land uses as zoned. Being a long narrow building with
limited frontage on Prentiss Street, the bulk of existing activities occurs
i to the south of Prentiss Street but within a completely enclosed building.
The elevated tracks to the south, Ralston Creek and the City Electric Company
to the east, and a large portion of the site's west boundary, reared upon by
a multi -tenant commercial structure, minimize the impacts of this use on sur-
rounding residential and general retail uses.
In evaluating a proposed rezoning, consideration cannot be limited to the
present use of the property in assessing the appropriateness of the proposed
thenzone and Consideration

versus general retail uses could lead to increased truck traffic, noise, and
potential visual blight that could adversely affect the redevelopment of
RM -145 zoned properties, or the retail nature of CC -2 zoned properties. Any
rezoning must demonstrate that the character of the area will not be ad-
versely affected by any use permitted in the proposed change.
If restricted to present operating conditions, staff feels the site could be
rezoned to CI -1 and remain compatible with surrounding land uses despite the
variety of uses permitted within the CI -1 zone. In order to minimize impacts
associated with CI -1 uses on surrounding land uses, staff would recommend
that any use be restricted as not to allow the outdoor display and/or stor-
age of merchandise, supplies, materials or equipment, and that all activities
and operations associated with any business occupying the site be located
within a completely enclosed building. Given these conditions, surrounding
properties could continue to be used for or redeveloped for any purpose
permitted within their corresponding zone.
Comprehensive Plan:
The 1978 Comprehensive Plan allows existing uses to be rezoned for compliance
with the Zoning Ordinance although they may conflict with the Comprehensive
Plan designation for that area. The Plan indicates: "the fact that the Com-
prehensive Land Use Map shows only generalized land uses means that it will
not in all cases reflect small areas of existing use which may be zoned to
reflect such use or density. This recognizes that while the Land Use Map
depicts the long-term goals for development within the City, the zoning must
consider the reasonableness of a classification as applied to a particular
property. Therefore, in instances where a zoning classification in strict
accordance with the Land Use Map would appear to cause such harm to a prop-
erty owner as to outweigh the benefit derived from strict conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan, a given property may be zoned to allow an existing
use." (Page 74)
In staff's view, the public benefit in retaining the present zoning of the
property would not outweigh the harm it would cause the applicant in not
being able to expand. If not permitted the opportunity to expand, the appli-
cant may decide to relocate his business making a large scale building avail-
able for some type of retail use permitted in the CC -2 Zone. Located south
of the downtown, the site and surrounding area are not part of an "existing
commercial core area" identified by the 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update. It
is the economic development policy of the City to "encourage commercial
activity to take place in existing care areas or neighborhood commercial
centers and discourage the proliferation of new major commercial areas....
The location of new commercial and retail establishments within the existing
area is in accordance with the City's goal of maintaining existing shopping
areas as compact and contiguous entities and of discouraging the creation of
new major retail and commercial areas." (Page 21)
The proposed rezoning, in effect, advances the economic development policies
of the City to discourage the creation and/or development of major commercial
areas outside of existing core areas, such as the downtown. In light of
these policies, staff does not find significant public benefit in preserving
the present CC -2 zoning which would be in conflict with the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan to encourage commercial and retail development to occur
within existing core areas.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the request to rezone property located at 225 E.
Prentiss Street from CC -2 to CI -1, be approved with the following conditions:
1. That outdoor storage and/or display of merchandise, supplies, materials,
j and equipment not be permitted outdoors, and
2. That all activities and/or operations except for loading and unloading of
materials and equipment and off-street parking associated with any use
permitted in the CI -1 zone, be conducted within a completely enclosed
building.
Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the policies and I
guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan, and so restricted, would be compatible
with surrounding land uses and zoning.
