CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels zoned in the AR-O, Apartment Office District. One parcel is undeveloped, and the other is being utilized for automobile display for an adjacent dealership. The site also includes a portion of Heaton Place that is to be vacated. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will allow expansion of the automobile dealership with enhanced landscaping provisions in consideration of an adjacent apartment complex. The limitation text commits to a landscape details plan, contains several use restrictions, and includes development standards addressing site access, landscaping and screening, and graphics provisions.
