This is a zone change from Residential 7,000 (R-70) to Community Commercial (CC) on the north 36,000 square feet of Lots 2 & 3, Pierce Subdivision. The total area of the property is 1.72 acres and includes the Pierce Subdivision lots as well as Lots 1 and 2 of Block 2, in Robbins Subdivision. Only the northern 36,000 square feet of Lots 2 & 3 of Pierce Subdivision is proposed for this zone change. The property is located at 808 Grand Avenue. A pre-application neighborhood meeting was held at 805 Alderson Avenue on December 18, 2014. The Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on February 3, 2015, and made no recommendation on a 2-2 vote on a motion to recommend approval and
adoption of the findings of the 10 criteria. The City Council approved the zone change on 1st reading on February 23, 2015.

City Council may:

• Approve the zone change and adopt the findings of the 10 criteria as proposed by the Planning Division;
• Deny the zone change and adopt different findings of the 10 criteria;
• Allow the applicant to withdraw the zone change; or
• Delay action on the zone change request for up to 30 days.

Approval of the zone change may increase the city's tax base in an area already served by city infrastructure and services. Denial of the zone change will leave the existing residential zoning in place but will not diminish the city's tax base.
