to Council Resolution 593-77, the Council does hereby reject the recom-
mendation of the Planning Commission and the said Petition 76-4-1-12
(rehearing) is hereby denied for the following reasons.
(1) The existing zoning should be retained for the reason
that it structures site development in a manner consistent
with the established development of the area and provides
for convenient offstreet parking
(2) The proposed change of zoning so as to allow the full
commercial utilization of the subject area at the
intensity of use that would be permitted by the C-2
Zoning District regulations with its associated traffic
generation would be hazardous to the area, would con-
flict with the traffic that occurs within the adjacent
intersection of Five Mile and Cavour and, further, would
conflict with the traffic that backs up from the major
intersection of. Five Mile and Middlebelt Roads.
(3) The proposed change of zoning so as to allow the full
use of the lot for C-2 commercial zoning purposes would
create a double frontage commercial lot which would
accordingly provide commercial frontage on Lancaster
Avenue, a local residential street, and with the related
traffic associated with commercial development would
adversely affect and conflict with the residential traffic
use of Lancaster Avenue.
(4) The proposed change of zoning so as to allow the full
utilization of the subject area all to the C-2 commercial
use would set an undesirable precedent for the area and
encourage adjacent parcels further to the east to similarly
be changed to C-2 which would be detrimental to the ad-
jacent residential area and not promote the orderly growth
and development of the area consistent with the Future
Land Use Plan.
