The staff, (report review of this request enumerated two particular concerns {! analysis, see attached May 9, 1974 staff report):: 3 1. A conflict between uses permitted in the CH zone and unde- land projected for density residential development veloped ,low on the west, and 2. The unrestricted cted nature of the CH zone which allows the retail d and the residential uses permitted uses permitted im,the Cl zone in the lower zones. j It was the staff's recommendation that the application be deferred', until to this deferral, T.j an office/transitional'ione was created. Subsequent Zoning Commission adopted an on August 8,-1974, the Planning and office/transitional zone, the present commercial office zone (CO). The staff finds that since the tract inquestion is shown on the soon to Plan suited to j I be adopted Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive as.being in'fact, the'Zoning Ordinance has been amended I office'development,,and, a 'office zone, the subject request should be to now include commercial granted. it RECOMMENDATION application to rezone be approved.

In a staff report dated April 25, 1974, mention was made in review of the Preliminary Plat of Grolmus Addition of the desirability for an east -west thoroughfare from Prairie du Chien Road east to either Dubuque Road or North Dodge Street (State 'Highway l). After furtheranalysis it would appear to be much more feasible to connect said east -west thoroughfare with Dubuque Road at some point and avoid crossing the ravine. This would result in a d,mplete separation of unrelated uses on both sides of the ravine. In addition, a "loop" street, as shown on the attached' topographic map would enable single family lots to rear upon - office development to the cast. The most restrictive zone that permits offices is the R3B Multi - Family Residence Zone. 'Unfortunately, apartments are ,permitted and at a density of 60 units per acre. Because of rough terrain, it is highly unlikely a density of this magnitude 'could be i obtained. However, it is the staff's opinion that no residential development should be permitted on the subject tract for a number of reasons: prospective residents' would be located a considerable F distance away from existing and, proposed community facilities and located in a predominate commercial area with common access. Since the City's zoning ordinance is of the "pyramidal type", the best solution:is the creation of an office/transitional zone which would permit exclusively offices and similar uses 'characterized by a low volume oftraffic and limited outdoor advertising to protect` abutting residential areas. In addition to office use, the applicant proposes to develop t for transient uses such as a motel' PJ property art of ,the subject ro erY or restaurant. Because of existing!similar uses adjacent to. the property, it is the staff's opinion there are 'portions of P P Y, P the tract which could be utilized for such uses. Again, however, the CH zone is an accumulation of'uses npermitted 'in lower zones including retail uses permitted in the C1 zone. ! Unlike transient uses which cater to the motoring public and i can occu literall hundreds of acres without an effect on pY Y the community per se, 'retail uses should not occupy more than two to five percent of the total developed areaofan average community' divided proportionately among community and neighbor- hood'centers'. It is the staff's opinion that no retail uses, with the exception of retail service facilities, which would have an effect on existingand proposed shopping centers in arras designated in the land -use plan should bepermitted on the subject tract. The best alternative, therefore, is to modify the Highway Commercial zone' to; include only transient uses. ARoOFILIAED BY ..... ,'. ile '. '.
