EC 9.8865 Zone Change (1) The proposed change is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan The written text of the Metro Plan shall take precedence over the Metro Plan diagram where apparent conflicts or inconsistencies exist. The Metro Plan designates the property for medium density residential use. However, the Metro Plan recognizes that approximately 32 percent of residentially designated areas typically accommodate non - residential uses such as parks, schools, churches and neighborhood commercial uses (page III- A-4). The historic Brunner- Schmitz House is an example of an appropriate site for limited nonresidential use within a residential area as the zoning will maintain the residential character of the house even if limited commercial uses are allowed. The proposed Special Area Zone includes a list of limited residential and non - residential uses, including office uses and certain small scale commercial uses, consistent with the Metro Plan diagram. Applicable Metro Plan policies are discussed below. Findings -- Brunner Schmitz House (Z 10 -12) Page 3
