Planning Commission Staff Report January 10, 2002 PLN2001-00046 Page 3 of 3 area, according to the Plan, need to be carefully evaluated in terms of street capacity and circulation issues. In this case, rezoning this property will not radically change the uses permitted on the site. All of the permitted uses in the P District and PHD District are identical, except that retail services in the PHD district are limited to beauty and barber shops, shoeshine and shoe repair businesses. Conditionally permitted uses do vary between the two zoning designations. The PHD District is more restrictive than the P District in the number of uses conditionally permitted. The main difference is that the PHD district allows a variety of housing uses to be conditionally considered, while the P district prohibits them. Given the location of this parcel, with single-family homes abutting it on two sides, a residential use could be more compatible with the surrounding land uses than another commercial use. Rezoning this parcel from P to PHD will allow future developers to consider this site for mixed -use and multi- family developments that would be compatible with the other uses in the area.
