ORDINANCE: REZONING 1506 VIRGINIA AVENUE FROM R-2 TO R-3 Mr. Huja stated that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning request and the special permit request for the following reasons: 1) There is presently insufficient agreement between the applicant and the neighborhood association on certain items such as parking and the level of improvement; 2) The request does not include an adequate parking plan in terms of location and design; 3) The request does not include sufficient information on proposed plans for development of the site and building; and 4) The request does not demonstrate a sufficient public benefit. On motion by Mr. Vandever, seconded by Ms. Slaughter, the ordinance rezonin? 1506 Virginia Avenue from R-2 to R-3 was unanimously denied. Ms. Waters expressed some concern about voting to deny if the Comprehensive Plan calls for R-3 zoning, but Mr. Huja replied that the Planning Commission did not feel the plan met the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and other proposals for the property might be approved. RESOLUTION: GRANTING SPECIAL PERMIT FOR INCREASED DENSITY AT 1506 VIRGINIA AVENUE Mr. Gouldman stated that the resolution could not be granted since the rezoning of the property had been denied. PUBLIC There were no matters by the public. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Hendrix explained that there was currently $19,000 in the proposed budget which was outstanding and this amount could be taken from other budget line items to offset the amount if Council desired.
