'Staff Report <br />5/5/2016 <br />(2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not <br />be affected in a substantially adverse manner. <br />The value of the adjacent commercial property should not be adversely affected since no <br />landscaping currently exists along the west property line. <br />(3) The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical <br />difficulties in the use of the property. <br />The layout of the site prevents installation of all required landscaping and parking <br />dimensions without making major site and structural modifications. The height of the <br />existing building cannot be practically modified. <br />Staff Comments: <br />This is a combined public hearing procedure, which includes a rezoning and 5 variances <br />from the development standards. The Commission will forward the rezoning to the <br />Common Council with or without a recommendation and either approve or deny the <br />variances. <br />Recommendation: <br />Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the <br />rezoning petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. Staff <br />recommends approval of the variances, subject to providing perimeter landscaping along <br />the east and south lot lines. <br />Analysis: <br />Rezoning to the MU Mixed Use District will allow for the adaptive reuse of this former <br />single family mansion while maintaining the historic character of the structure. <br />APC # 2781 -16 Page 3 of 3 <br />
