~9i~s ~ The Metropolitan Area General Plan Diagram designates the general area along 6th and 7th avenues as appropriate for commercial use, That designation of this and other properties ~n the immediate area has been confirmed by the recent zone changes noted previously. Whi 1 e the subject property i s techni ca11y on lth Place, the right-of-way includes 7th Avenue. New street improvements in the area have resulted in eastbound traffic on 7th Place to tie i nta 7th Avenue before reaching Garf i e1 d.~ 7th P1 ace as i t fronts on the subject property now terminates i n a cut -de- sac a short distance to the west. The Jefferson/Far West Refinement Plan borders the site to the east. That p1 an, which refines the Metropolitan Area General P1 an, designates the east side of Garfield from lth Avenue to Broadway for commercial and industrial 1 anal use, and comrnerc~ al 1 and use from Broadway to south of West lath. The requested change for the subject property will not conflict with the future land use pattern immediately to the east. The pattern of development to the west, away from the 6th/7th commercial area, wi 11 1 i kely remain industrial as contemplated i n the General Plan, One of the objectives of the zoning ordinance contained i n Section 9.252 ~ a } of the City Cade i s to "promote the achievement of the General Plan for the City." Based on the discussion above, this zone change would be accomplishing that objective. Section 9,676 ~ b} : There i s a publ i c need for a change of the kind i n question, It must be demonstrated that: 1. Land already avai 1 abl e i n the zani ng classification proposed i s unabl e to be served by adequate public facilities and services, or 2, What 1 and i s avai 1 abl a and served i s inadequate or improperly zoned to satisfy the current need far commercial , industrial , or institutional uses, or for an affordab1 a and desirable housing inventory, as the case may be. The site i s level vped wi th a structure which has been used for commercial purposes. The remainder of the smal 1 parcel i s primari 1y devoted to parking. A zone change i s needed i n order to continue to use this site for comrnerci al development. Section 9.676~c}: The location of the proposed change: 1. Can be adequately served through the orderly extension of publ i c f aci 1 i ti es and services, and 2. Is consistent with the principle of compact and sequential urban growth.
