This site is currently being used in compliance with <br />the Mixed Use District. The increased intensity of adding this auto-related business <br />is not compatible with the residential properties to the north and will be detrimental <br />to the surrounding neighborhood. A change in zoning will require a number of <br />variances since the site cannot comply with landscaping and parking requirements <br />due to its small size. <br />The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above <br />decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later <br />date to be made a part of this report. <br />Sincerely, <br />tn- GV ~ <br />ohn W.
