new one (1) but we are not at that point yet. We are trying to balance the needs of what people are trying to do right now and the incremental change going forward. Councilmember Scott then asked, Who is it from DCI that spends time on that corridor to help with improvements? Mr. Corcoran replied, More than one (1) person is working on that corridor. We are right now in the process of looking at the ways of reclaiming more pavement for redevelopment sites. There is a lot of effort that goes into that. It will take substantial City investment to shift a market. Where and how we do that is a big question. Committeemember John Voorde asked, Was this a gas station years ago?Are there any UST problems here? Ms. Smith replied, From the aerial view I think it is fair to say it was a gas station. I don't know about prior issues as that is not something we control. Committee Chair Davis opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the Committee for father comment or main motions. Commiteemember Voorde made a motion to send Bill No. 33-17 to the full Council with no recommendation. Committeemember Broden seconded this motion which carried unanimously by a voice vote of three (3) ayes. Bill No. 43-17-Rezonin6 for Property at 1237 & 1303 Ironwood Mr. Stanton stated, The petitioner is requesting a zone change from SF-1, Single-Family District, to SF-2, Single-Family Two (2)-Family District. On the site is a vacant parcel and a single- family home. To the north of the site is a single-family home zoned SF-1. To the east of the site are single-family homes zoned SF-1. To the south of the site are single-family homes zoned SF- 1. To the west of the site are single-family homes zoned SF-1. The proposed plan includes a twenty-six (26) lot single-family residential subdivision. The development includes a basic footprint for homes approximately 1,800 square feet. The proposed plan would utilize reduced setbacks on one (1) side in order to provide a wider side entrance to the homes. The staff recommends the properties adjacent to Ironwood and Rosemary to have front doors and entry ways that interact with the public street. This comes to you from the Area Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation. Rezoning the property to SF-2 will allow for infill housing on a large residential lot in which services are already available. The urban residential lots will offer a variety of housing options compatible with the neighborhood. Mike Danch, Danch, Hamer and Associates with offices at 1643 Commerce Drive, stated, You all know the site very well. What we are asking to do is rezone the property to SF-2 to allow for this pocket neighborhood concept. When we had started this particular project we planned to have thirty (30) single-family houses. After some meetings and at the request of the Area Plan Commission, we talked with the neighbors and we reduced the number to have only twenty-six (26) single-family houses. There will only be two (2)houses facing Ironwood and two (2) houses 3
