5 Criteria (per IC 36 -7 -4 -603): 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: Goal 3: Objective C: Policy I: Medium or high density multi- family housing, or other facilities with intense activity (such as churches, secondary schools, and commercial sites) should be located along arterials with access to the arterial street (preferable) or to a collector street. Goal 2: Objective B: Locate employment uses in such a manner that conflicts with residential land uses are minimized. The petition is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. Land Use Plan: This area is not designated for a growth area or reserve growth area by the Land Use Plan. 2. Current conditions and character: The area is primarily single family residential. There are some office and higher intensity land uses along State Road 23. 3. Most desirable use: The most desirable use would be for a single or multi family development. 4. Conservation of property values: Should this rezoning be approved, residential property values could be adversely affected. 5. Responsible development and growth: It is not responsible development and growth to intrude into the residential neighborhood. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing staff recommends that this petition be sent to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation. Analysis: The "O" Office district is intended for areas located along arterials with access to arterial and collector streets, or in areas where conflicts with residential land uses are minimized. This rezoning is in conflict with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. It intrudes into a residential area. McErlain and Elkins Street are two lane residential streets. A development of this size and magnitude would fit better on State Road 23 or Douglas Road. Richard & Marsha Pullin and Shirley Combs #2338 -05 Page 2 of 3
