Staff Recommendation

DENY the rezoning to O-1 (Office, Medical & Related Services), consistent with the denial recommendations for the associated plan amendments.

The existing transitional zoning pattern to the southwest is appropriate and has established a good stopping point for non-residential uses heading north along Tazewell Pike. O-1 zoning will allow uses that require more off-street parking than low density residential. The paved parking area currently in front of the house could provide that parking, but a significant portion of the paved area is in public right-of-way (see attached aerial photo). Along the north and east sides of the house, where additional parking could be located, the topography would make it difficult and very disruptive to the adjacent neighborhood to construct parking there. Variances on parking would likely be needed if the property were rezoned to O-1.
