SECTION 3: That the City Council finds that the rezoning from B3 Business
District to C 1 a Commercial Districts meets the standards for a text amendment set forth
in Section 6-3-4-5 of the Zoning Ordinance, as follows:
A. The amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan in that the purpose of the C1 a Commercial Mixed Use
District is "to provide locations for the development of mixed use buildings
consisting of retail -oriented and offices uses on the ground level and office uses
and/or residential dwellings located above as well as multi -family residential."
The proposed text amendment will reduce the permitted building height, maintain
the residential character of this neighborhood, and preserve the street level retail
. and commercial activity that is prevalent along Chicago Avenue.

Rezoning the subject properties within the C1 a encourages a desirable range of •
housing types by increasing the permitted residential density and in turn,
providing greater opportunity to create a more diverse range of housing options.
B. The rezoning will produce development in accordance with the overall character
of existing development within the subject area and in the immediate vicinity of
the subject areas as the proposed amendment will rezone the area to the C1 a
district, which is the zoning district classification in effect for property in the
immediate vicinity.
C. The rezoning will not produce development that will adversely affect the value of
properties in and in the immediate vicinity of the rezoned area as the amendment
retains development potential in the subject area at similar levels while
increasing the Floor Area Ratio and the permitted density on each site.
D. The proposed rezoning will be located in an area of the City in which a major
improvement of a component of the City's Sewer System has been completed.
This improvement will enhance the capability of the Combined sewer system.
SECTION 4: That this ordinance or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed.
SECTION 5: That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its •
passage, approval, and publication in the manner provided by law.
