Nawrocki indicated that with the 13.6 percent increase in city property taxes and the use of
$600,000 in reserve funds, discussion is important. He stated concerned with using that amount
of reserve funds. Nawrocki asked that the City Manager submit information on how to reduce the
budget to a six percent increase, even though he made this motion and it did not pass, he would
like to know how we could do this if we wanted to. He again recommended bidding out long
standing contracts such as legal services. Recently Eden Prairie took bids on legal services and
obtained a 25 percent reduction in their civil contract, from $240,000 reduced to $180,000. We
could save money on criminal work, because in most situations the firms use less expensive
personnel.

Page 3 of 8
Nawrocki indicated that Council did not see these RFP specifications. Hansen stated the contract
covers all city buildings except Murzyn Hall and the new Public Safety building. The Public
Safety building is still under warranty and Murzyn Hall is covered by Honeywell. This is for
preventive maintenance and not equipment replacement. We are trying to save money and
establish a fund for equipment replacement when needed. Nawrocki asked what equipment
Honeywell replaced. Hansen stated that nothing major was replaced and this contract will be less
than half of the Honeywell contract, not including Murzyn Hall. Nawrocki referred. to the
replacement need. of a cooling unit on the Library roof. Hansen stated that the past contract
would have only replaced parts on the current unit. Fehst stated they did. not replace normal wear
items. Hansen stated that a replacement cooling unit for the Library should be approximately
$3,000 to $5,000.
Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Williams, to accept the bids for HVAC Preventive
Maintenance Services from NSI Horwitz for City facilities, based upon their low, qualified,
responsible bid and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a 3-year
contract for the same. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
F, Refuse and Recyclin~: Contract award
Nawrocki questioned when rate changes will be discussed. Hansen stated this will be reviewed
internally and brought before the City Council the first quarter of 2010. Nawrocki indicated that
we will change contractors. There will be a medium size bin for recycling, with pick up every
second week. Nawrocki questioned page three of the contract regarding the limit of weight per
cart, charging extra for heavy items such as stone and carpeting. Hansen stated the wording is
similar to our current contract, limiting what is disposed. of at the curb, which is essentially three
times the amount of the container at no additional charge. Additional and excessive amounts will
be charged back to individual property owners. We did not have an issue with Allied Waste on
this.
Hansen stated there was a public bid process, with Veolia submitting the low bid, replacing the
current contactor at the end of the year. The name on the container will change but pickup days
will remain the same. We will change to single sort recycling, with 65 gallon containers and
pickup every other week. We hope to encourage more recycling in the community and waste
reduction. The pick up point for recycling will now be with the regular waste, in the alleys.
Information will be in the city newsletter, the web site, and mailings to all property owners
providing contact information.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Williams, to approve the contract for Refuse, Recycling, Yard
Waste. and White Goods Services with Veolia Environmental Solid Waste Services fora 5-vear
contract term. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

Miscellaneous -Hazel Erickson, 999 =lI S` Avenue NE, stated disappointment with the playgrozmd
being installed across from her condo. Residents were not made aware of this and are afraid the
noise may make it difficztlt to sell her condo. She stated they woatld like to be better informed,
and do not receive the Sun Focus, but do not wish to receive it.
Discussion back to 3930 Universit~~ Avenue -Nawrocki stated this is the most atrocious building
in town. The only appropriate abatement would be to tear it down and we should have the owner
do so. Fehst stated this was a nuisance abatement to board up the building. Jim Hoeft, City
Attorney, stated the contamination clean up would exhaust our abatement fund and if the
property goes tax forfeit we would not recoup our costs. Fehst stated that we have attempted to
work with them to obtain grant money for contamination removal.

Jeff Sargent, City Planner, stated the owner requests to rezone this property from General
Business to Residential 2A, which allows for one or two family use. Originally, the first floor
was commercial and the second floor was residential. The property was vacant for one year, so it
no longer meets code. The proposed owner wants to utilize the property for residential use.

Nansen stated this is the end of obtaining MnDOT project approval. Hansen described the type
of bridge and design components. We will submit all information to MnDOT by November 15t"
They look to have this project bid prior to the end of the year. Steps could not be incorporated
into the current plan, due to easements and 1lighway setbacks. tt would make sense to continue
working toward placing steps at the site.

liability. Hansen stated yes. Nawrocki requested funding sources, commitments and anticipated
local costs for the bridge, including the quick-take of the Savers property.

be held on a week-day. The dedication should be postponed to a time when people can attend.

have that day off. This was to tie in with appreciation for veterans that have saved our country's
freedom. Our community came together and worked very hard, and we are proud that we were able to
raise these funds. Nawrocki commended the Mayor for the time and effort he put into the statute.
Peterson stated that the Holiday Kick-off party was moved up a week this year, and unfortunately
there are several other events also planned for November 14. We will have Columbia Heights talent to
entertain us.

Park & Recreation Commission 2
11 / 16/2009
comparisons to an average person and design elements of the bridge. He stated there is
no center support under the bridge. Aesthetic lighting will be located on the bridge deck
and approaches. Hansen pointed out that the approaches would need to be built up and
look similar to a short retaining wall. The recommendation is to cast the stones in with
concrete for a higher longevity.
Stroik asked if the bus stop would be affected. Hansen replied that it would not be
changed. Evans asked about the sidewalk. Hansen replied that the sidewalk would be
pulled back away fram the curb line to go underneath the bridge. On the Walgreens side
there is the opportunity to bring the sidewalk along an easement if Walgreens is accepting
of it. Hansen indicated an alternate bid option for steps on both sides of the bridge as a
shorter route for pedestrian than the 300-yard walkways. Payne asked if the bridge
would be set back further on Central Avenue than the current bridge. Hansen replied that
it would be about 50 feet further south. Hoiuin asked if there would be a cover over the
walkway. Hansen indicated there would. not be. Windschitl asked about shoveling snow.
Hansen replied that the design allows for staff to get equipment on the walkway.
Greenhalgh asked about placing anything on the bridge with a Columbia Heights symbol
or wording. Hansen replied that the subject is still being evaluated and what MnDOT
will allow the City to do.
Payne stated that he doesn't believe that people will use the bridge because he has
witnessed so many people walk across the street. Hansen stated. pedestrian counts from
either 2001 or 2008 during the school year; average count was 300 per day. He indicated
public comments requested street-scaping in the area to guide pedestrians to the bridge.
B. New City Gym
Windschitl informed the Commission that the gym is being used by all. ages and
nationalities. As the word gets out about the available hours the use will increase. A day
shift is being run with future additions for after school hours. There will be after school
open gym for specific age groups one day at a time: Nigh School, Middle School and
Elementary School. This time does overlap with District after school programs but it
gives those students who choose not to participate in that program another option of same
activity to do. Windschitl indicated once evening programs begin, specifically
basketball, adults would have the opportunity to workout at those times. He stated the
punch list is mostly worked off and overall things are running well.
Payne asked about adult evenings. Windschitl stated. currently there are Wednesday
evenings and Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. He also indicated the
School District fitness center is open from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday through
Thursday. Stroik asked about staffing. Windschitl indicated the current times are being
staffed and there are some volunteers willing to help supervise. He stated that he has
been the one currently staffing the morning hours to make sure that all components are
running smoothly before asking volunteers to take over. There are a few college students
working the after school open gym times; they also worked the summer park programs.

1 I / 16/2009
Stroik asked about the number of exercise pieces in the fitness area. Windschitl invited
the members to go to the gym and he would give them a tour now that the facility is
complete and fully equipped. He replied there are two life fitness treadmills, three
elliptical machines, one lat pull machine, two leg machines, a universal bench press
machine, dumbbells, a bench and then the air Schwin bike that Mayor Peterson donated.
All of the machines are either refurbished or brand new machines. He indicated that the
City fitness area is well designed for a cardio workout.
Windschitl stated the School District is requiring pre-registration to use their fitness area.
The rates are ten dollars per month for residents and. twenty dollars per month for non-
residents with a discount rate of nine dollars for senior citizens and. Athletic Booster Club
members. He indicated this allows access to the District fitness area from 6:30 p.m. -
9:30 p.m. Monday thru Thursday and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The
weekday hours prior to that are for students. McDonald asked where parking is available.
Windschitl replied that there is designated parking in the Northwest lot from the door.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Grant Awards for Play~round Equipment
Hansen indicated two grants were awarded for playground. equipment at Huset Park and
Ramsdell Park. Each grant was for $30,000 and the equipment cost is $60,000 so it was a
50/50 cost share. Hansen stated that he was contacted from Jeff s, Bobby and Steve's
Auto World Foundation about the donation for Huset Park and will be meeting with
them. Holum asked if the matching grant was from Game Time. Hansen replied yes and
that the playground equipment at Sullivan and Silver Lake Beach Parks were from Game
Time. In the last fifteen years the City has primarily used either Game Time or
Landscape Structures for equipment. Hansen passed around the catalogue with photos of
the equipment for each of the parks. Evans asked if any of the equipment could be reused
at Ramsdell Park. Hansen replied that it will get reused but not at that park. He indicated
that part of the difficulty in reusing the material is that all of the main support posts are
set in concrete.
Evans indicated. that the swing at Silver Lake Beach is missing the belt or chain in the
handicap seat. She stated the Biff is gone at that park and that dogs are becoming an
increasing problem because the owners are not picking up after them. Hansen replied the
swing would be taken care of. Many of the Biffs at the parks were pulled due to budget
cuts. He stated that adoggie-do station was purchased and would be installed. at Silver
Lake Beach Park.
REPORTS
A. Recreation Director
Windschitl indicated. a compliment was received and this resident was thanking the City
for operating the wading pools. During the current budget times she did not expect the
pools to be open and was appreciative of them. She indicated her children really enjoyed
using all three of the City pools this season and thanked staff for their work.

11 / 16/2009
Windschitl stated that Honeywell was in JPM finalizing some of their punch list items.
He informed them that he would not sign off on the project until all controls are working
correctly. Evans asked the annual maintenance contract had been. reduced. Windschitl
replied that it has not been reduced yet. The contract will not be reduced until the project
is complete. The City has given Honeywell notification that they will not be continuing
with their service for other City buildings. Honeywell may bid on the new proposal for
the rest of the City. JPM will continue service with Honeywell. The current contract
with JPM should be reduced shortly.
Windschitl asked the Commission if any one had a problem making it to the meetings at
the 5:30 p.m. time. Ali members agreed that 5:30 p.m. is good and if the time needs to be
adjusted it can be done as needed. Windschitl indicated that all future Park and
Recreation Meetings would be at 5:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
B. Public Works Director/City En ig Weer
Hansen indicated he attended a meeting with the Three Rivers Park District to develop a
plan for a trail connection between Silver Lake Beach Park and Silverwood Park. This
item is on the agenda for the next Three Rivers Park District board meeting. Evans asked
if the gate would be open on the trail. Hansen replied that a requirement from the Three
Rivers Park District is to keep the trail for pedestrian access only. The agreement would
be for the Park District to install the fencing with a gate and for the City to build the trail.
Hansen indicated that grant from the DNR for both the City and the Park District have
applied for a fishing pier. The DNR will then pay far the Full cost of the materials for the
pier. The hope is that one of the two groups will be awarded the grant.
C. Commission Members

and rental rates for the facility.

Members to the Public Safety Building Open House on October 3 from 12:00 - 5:00 p.m.

use the day room in the current fire department for their break time. Windschitl indicated
plans to park all Recreation vehicles in the garages. Hansen indicated need for half of the

same definition for purposes of assessment deferral as is used for social security purposes.
4. This deferral procedure shall not be construed as to prohibit the determination of hardship on the basis of exceptional and unusual
circumstances not covered by the standards and guidelines herein so long as determination is made in a nondiscriminatory manner
and does not give the applicant an unreasonable preference or advantage over other applicants.
5. In order to obtain a deferral of an assessment, the homeowner must make application on the forms prescribed by the City Clerk.

iTEi'~: Emergency Repair of a Trunk Stonn Sewer line B Y : K. I-iansen BY: ~ z ~ ~ °~-
at the 45`'' Avenue Mississippi River Outfall I DATE: 11/18/09 `DATE:
Background:
Staff has previously reported to the Council of a failed trunk storm sewer outfall at the Mississippi River.
The outfall is located between the Anoka County Riverfront Regional Park and just north of the Minneapolis
Water Works. The failure was discovered during an inspection by Anoka County in early September.
Approximately 60 feet of the 84" storm sewer pipe and outfall area collapsed and failed. The slope drop off
is approximately 30 vertical feet from top to bottom and is at a severe slope of 1.5:1. Due to the sandy soils,
this slope continues to slough and fall into the bottom basin area. There is approximately another 60 feet of
84 inch corrugated metal pipe that is in severe condition upstream of this failed segment. The rest of the pipe
is reinforced concrete and found to be in adequate condition.
City staffs have prepared a restoration plan, and have obtained the necessary permits from the DNR and the
Army Corp of Engineers, due to the proximity of the Mississippi River. This involves basically restoring the
original pipe segment, but using concrete (RCP} pipe instead of metal (CMP) pipe. The work will also
include excavating the sloughed materials out of the river backwater for use in the slope restoration. it is the
desire of the DNR and Anoka County Parks to restore as close as possible to original conditions, prior to the
collapse. Anoka County Parks will provide additional restoration in 2010 such as trees and native plantings,
similar to the surrounding area. Because of the location in the City of Fridley, their staff will be responsible
for the bidding and award process. Bath cities have had staff' involvement to minimize costs with survey
work, permit applications, construction staking and project inspection.
This storm line is shared between the cities of Columbia Heights and Fridley and. MnDOT. Attached is the
original agreement from 1965, and an amendment from 1978 which details the cost share for this trunk line
segment based on ratio of discharges as:
Columbia Heights: 66.5%
Fridley: 23.8%
MnDOT: 9.7%
Because of development, changes in land use and changes in the tributary area, staffs from both cities
believe it appropriate and recommend to update the 1978 agreement for contributing flows -which should

now include Anoka County for East River Road and Main Street. Staff would recommend participating at
the 1978 agreement calculated percentages for the total project cost for this emergency repair project. Staff
also recommends preparing an update of the calculations that provided the 1978 percentages based on
current land use in the drainage area that will likely change the percentages and requiring an updated
agreement.
In accordance with the existing agreement, the City of Fridley has the responsibility of contracting the work.
Bids were originally received on October 23rd and. rejected. The project was rebid on November 12`" with 10
bids submitted, resulting in a reduction in casts of $7,348 and a bid award of $116,829. The detailed bid
tabulation is available from the Engineering office. Also attached is a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) specific to this project between the cities of Columbia Heights and Fridley. The MOU affirms the
cost share split in the existing agreement, provides for in-kind work, and indicates that the cost share
analysis will be updated to reflect current conditions.
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize funding from the Storm Water Utility Fund for the Emergency
Repair of the 84-inch Trunk Storm Sewer Line located near 45t" Avenue at the Mississippi River for the City
of Columbia Heights share of the total project cost and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the

Resolution 2009-186 DATE: November 16, 2009 '
`' ~
~aci~round
At the 3une 22, 2009 City Council meeting the City Council approved modifications to the C8 TIF district to create a scattered
site district, The purpose of this district is to acquire and demolish the most blighted properties in the community that are
currently for sale within the foreclosure market. The following guidelines for acquisition were approved:
I) An acquisition price point of $55,000 or less
2) All homes purchased will be demolished
3) Homes acquired should fall in one of the following categories:
a. Evidence of structural failure
b. Hazardous conditions including extensive mold
c. Functional obsolescence (size of property, interior layout)
d. Extensive physical deterioration
4) Residual vacant lots shall. meet existing zoning standards for purposes of rebuilding
5) Recognition that extenuating circumstances may require deviation from the above policies
As part of the project described above the City has negotiated the purchase of property located at 4303 Reservoir Blvd for
$52,500 plus closing costs and demolition. The subject lot is about 17,600 square feet with an existing one bedroom single-
family home that is 750 square feet, which was built in 1918. There is also a detached garage. This house shows signs of severe
deterioration, the most critical being evidence of structural displacement by "temporary screw floor jacks" that supplement the
original beams in the basement. The house has no wall and minimal ceiling insulation. At the current time the majority of all. the
walls have been. destroyed through vandalism. Even if this house was physically rehabbed the structure has complete functional
obsolescence based on size (750 square feet, one bedroom, and kitchen that is so small that the refrigerator is located in the back
hall.
This is a critical acquisition for the Reservoir Blvd neighborhood, as this area is well maintained. and staff is of the opinion that
if this property is sold to the open market it would become rental and will continue its blighting influence in the overall area. in
addition the size of the lot will provide an opportunity to resell at a future date for a house of significant value, as lots of this
size are difficult, if not impossible, to find in our community.
Recommendation•
Staff recommends•approval of the purchase.
Recommended Motion:
Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009- 186, there being ample amount of copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Resolution 2009-186, approving the acquisition of property located at 4303 Reservoir Blvd; furthermore to
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

NO: Community Development APPROVAL
ITEM: Approve acquisition of 4135 Jefferson Street BY: Sheila Cartney BY:
~
- Resolution. 2009-192 DATE: November 18, 2009 °
Background•
At the June 22, 2009 City Council meeting the City Council approved modifications to the C8 TIF district to create a scattered.
site district. The purpose of this district is to acquire and demolish the most blighted properties in the community that are
currently for sale within the foreclosure market. The following guidelines for acquisition were approved:
1 } An acquisition price point of $55,000 or Less
2) All homes purchased will be demolished
3) Homes acquired should fall in one of the following categories:
a. Evidence of structural failure
b. Hazardous conditions including extensive mold
c. Functional obsolescence (size of properly, interior layout)
d. Extensive physical deterioration
4) Residual vacant lots shall meet existing zoning standards for purposes of rebuilding
5) Recognition that extenuating circumstances may require deviation from the above policies
As part of the project describe above the City is in negotiations to purchase property located at 4135 Jefferson Street for a
maximum purchase price of $40,000, plus closing costs and demolition. Bank of America owns this property and continually
changes their negotiator, which makes it difficult to get a response. The current listing agent has presented our offer of $32,500
and is waiting a reply from the bank, and has since taken the listing off the market. Due to the fact that there is only one more
Council meeting this year staff suggests approving this purchase for up to $40,000 so that we do not lose this purchase due to
our process.
'The subject lot is 5,160 square feet with an existing two bedroom single-family home that is 864 square feet, which was built in
1910. There is a deteriorated detached garage on the property, which has both doors kicked in. The house shows signs of severe
deterioration. No only is there no current maintenance to this house, the house has been completely trashed. The backdoor is
held shut with a piece of wood and part of a bed frame, there is garbage and steak bones all over the house, the entire basement
is filled with feces. It should be noted that the prevailing stench in the house possibly would require replacement of all porous
surfaces including drywall. Due to garbage and debris staff was not able to go upstairs. There is evidence that someone maybe
illegally living in this house, the matter has been turned over to the Police Department.
Lastly, this house is typical of the goals of the Scattered Site program. This neighborhood is well maintained (two new GMHC
houses are on the north side of this property) the removal of this house will provide for a future house that will be a continuing
asset to the community.
Recommendation•
Staff is continuing to negotiate the purchase ofthis property and recommends the Council approve this purchase up to $40,000.
Recommended Motion:
Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009 - i92, there being ample amount of copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Resolution 2009-192, approving the acquisition of property located at 4135 Jefferson Street NE;
furthermore to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

ITEM.: 2nd Reading: Ordinance 1573, Zoning BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner BY: f
'"
Amendment to rezone 3701 Reservoir Blvd. DATE: November 18, 2009 ~ /~
from GB to R-2A.
BACKGROUND:
At this time, Fadia Salem is requesting a zoning amendment to rezone the property at 3701-OS Reservoir
Boulevard from GB, General Business, to R-2A, One and Two Family Residential.
The previous use of the property was asingle-family residence on the second floor and a mortgage
business on the first floor. The GB, General Business zoning classification does not permit single-
family dwelling units as a permitted use. For this reason, the property was considered legally
nonconforming when it was being used as asingle-family house. Minnesota State Statutes state that all
nonconformities may continue their existence until the nonconformity or occupancy is discontinued for a
period of more than one year. The subject property has been vacant for more than one year and the
perspective buyers would like to purchase the house in order to reside in it and have no plans on
continuing the business aspect of the property.
The current structure is set up for residential use. If the property were not rezoned to a residential district,
extensive remodeling of the inside of the structure would need to occur in order to convert the structure
completely to a commercial use. Given the location of this property in proximity to other residentially
zoned parcels, it makes sense from a planning aspect to rezone this parcel to residential
RECOMII~NDED MOTION:
Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1573, there being ample copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Ordinance No. 1573 approving the rezoning of the property located at 3701 Reservoir
Boulevard from GB, General Business to R-2A, One and Two Family Residential.

SECTION 1:
WHEREAS, the current zoning classification of the property does not allow asingle-family use as a
permitted used; and

interest and not solely for the benefit of a single property owner; and
WHEREAS, the proposed zoning classification of the property is compatible with the surrounding
zoning classifications and uses, and

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
CASE NUMBER: 2009-1101
DATE: November 3, 2009
TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission
APPLICANT: Fadia Salem
LOCATION: 3701-05 Reservoir Boulevard
REQUEST: Rezoning of property from GB to R-2A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner
PLANNING REPORT
BACKGROUND
At this time, the applicant is in the process of purchasing the property at 3701-05 Reservoir
Boulevard. Currently, the property is zoned GB, General Business. The previous use of
the ;property was both single-family residential and commercial. The business was on the
first floor and the residential component was on the second floor.
The perspective buyers would like to use the structure as asingle-family house only and do
not have any plans on retaining the business. While the single-family aspect of the building
was in use, it was considered legally nonconforming because the Zoning Code does not
allow for single-family uses in the GB District. Because the property has been vacant for
longer than one year, the single-family component may not be used unless the property is
rezoned to accommodate it.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan currently guides the property for Low Density Residential.
Rezoning the land to allow for asingle-family use would be consistent with the guidance of
the Comprehensive Plan.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The subject property is currently zoned GB, General Business, as is the property to the
north along Central Avenue. The properties to the north along Reservoir Blvd. are zoned
R-3, Multiple Family Residential and the properties to the east are zoned R-2A, One and
Two Family Residential. The proposed zoning classification for the subject property is also
R-2A, which would be consistent with the zoning classification in the area. Rezoning the
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission November 3, 2009
Fadia Salem, 3701 Reservoir Blvd Case # 2009-1101
property would also be consistent with the historic use of the property as asingle-family
house.
The structure in question is functionally asingle-family house. If the property were to
remain commercial, extensive remodeling of the building would need to occur to
accommodate any type of business that would move in. The prospective buyer would like
to buy the house and use it as a residence without pursuing the business portion.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make
each of the following findings before approving a zoning amendment:
The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan currently guides the property for Low Density Residential.
Rezoning the land to allow for asingle-family use would be consistent with the
guidance of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a
single property owner.
Although the proposed rezoning of the property at 3701 Reservoir Blvd. is via
request from a single property owner, the benefit of the property being rezoned is to
the public. Without the rezoning, the house would sit vacant indefinitely, or until a
prospective developer would purchase the land for redevelopment. Staff
recommends rezoning the parcel to enable the historic use of the property to
continue.
3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, the existing use ofthe property and the zoning classification of property
within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the
proposed zoning classification.
A portion of the previous use of the property was asingle-family house. The
proposed zoning classification is consistent with the zoning classification in the
general area, and the proposed use of the property is consistent with the historic
use of the property.
4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in
the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such
property was placed in the current zoning classification.
The property was zoned GB, General Business, to stay consistent with the zoning
classifications of properties that front Central Avenue. Although this property

Fadia Salem, .3701 Reservoir Blvdo Case # 2009-1101
technically fronts on Central Avenue, it's located on the corner of a five-way
intersection and is pushed back a considerable distance from Central Avenue. With
this said, the use of the property is more conducive to a residential setting than a
commercial one.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion: That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the
rezoning of the property located at 3701-05 Reservoir Boulevard from GB, General
Business to R-2R, One and Two Family Residential.
