STATEMENT Rezone Petition # (o 0 L 3 The petitioner respectfully requests the rezone for the following reasons. Rezoning of part of Lot 6 and all of Lot 7 to R-4 from RH-1 will eliminate a nonconforming use and will conform the zoning with the existing multi-family use. Such rezoning will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or to the other property in the vicinity. The size, shape and location of Lot 6 make it peculiarly suitable for subdivision and make part of Lot 6 peculiarly suitable for proposed business use. Business use is the most appropriate use of that part of Lot 6 bordering the U.S. Highways 12, 14, 18 and 151 frontage road, is reasonable, and takes into account the business character and use of surrounding property and changed conditions. Such rezoning will eliminate a small area of RH-i zoning bordering the U.S . Highways 12, 14, 18 and 151 frontage road within a surrounding area otherwise zoned for business and commercial use and will harmonize the use of part of Lot 6 with the use of the surrounding commercial and business property. Such rezoning will result in improvement and better use of that part of Lot 6 bordering the U.S. Highways 12 , 14, 18 and 151 frontage road and will protect existing use and the value of the surrounding property. Such rezoning will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or to the other property located in the vicinity. We anticipate that the part of Lot 6 to be rezoned as B-1 and subdivided will be sold off for development. Accordingly, no time schedule for development is available. We anticipate that both the part of Lot 6 to be rezoned as B-1 and the remainder of Lot 6 to be rezoned as R-4 will have future access to the U.S . Highways 12, 14, 18 and 151 frontage road from Landmark Place. It is anticipated that the rezoning will improve the vehicular traffic flow around the property.
