ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting this zone change to establish a Planned Development Overlay to
provide flexibility to accommodate site constraints for redevelopment of the subject property for a
new commercial use. The applicant has submitted plans for a drive-through restaurant
development which will be addressed as General Development Plan (GDP) and Specific
Implementation Plan (SIP) review under the subsequent item.
Staff is supportive of the proposed zone change to include a Planned Development Overlay as it
will serve to accommodate future development needs for the site. The proposed SMU-PD zoning
designation is also consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation
(Interstate Commercial) as well as the surrounding commercial land uses.

In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Zoning Map
amendment, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-381 (D)(2):
