Staff Report re: County Rezoning Case - Broadway Avenue he asked what are tHe~pros and cons of providing local matching funds to JAUNT. One option obviously is to eliminate any sort of transportation service, another~option is to do it ourselves and the third is to continue to work with JAUNT. He stated he would like some evaluation by staff of what some of the cost of those alternatives would be and what the effects would be, and the fifth question of whether the City should help an out- side agancy compete for funds, he asked how much jeopardy does that put our application in for funds? If we do go ahead and help JAUNT get these funds would the likely outcome be that we would get less from UMTA or some other funding source? If the staff could evaluate these things then the discussion would be much more worthwhile. The Cit? Manager replied that to get into it in as much detail as~you requested may be somewhat difficult in the period of time that is set aside. .Mrs. O'Brien remarked that one thing that concerns her is whether we are competing with ourselves with these two systems. The CityManager advised the Council that it has been brought to staffs attention that there is a application for rezoning on Broadway Avenue which is a parcel of land jutting into the City located just off of Franklin Street and Carlton Avenue. It is presently zoned M-1 and there is a request to have it zoned M-2 and there are concerns by city residents adjacent to this area, He stated the staff also has concerns based on the fact that the County zoning ordinance allows what he considered undesirable uses for this area. He stated that the owner of the property could proffer certain conditions that he would be willing to agree to which would limit the uses which would be allowed there. He stated it is his understanding that these are not conditions which the County can require the owner to do, but the owner can make the offer. He stated he felt this should be brought to Council's attention so that Council's concerns could be made known to the County. Mrs. O'Brien requested the Mayor to convey the Council's concern about an M-2 zone adjacent to a residential area. Mr. Buck remarked that it should be a much stronger state- ment than just concern about it. He thinks the Council should request the County not to rezone the property M-2 unless the applicant will proffer certain conditions to the effect that access would be off Carlton Road, that the County require that there be certain performance standards in protecting against noise and environmental pollution and also that there be limitations on the uses in M-2 zoning, and he would like to go on record as opposing M-2 zoning unless the applicant would proffer these conditions. 135
