Subject: Discussion of 525 Blake Road
525 Blake Road is a vacant gas station located on the corner of Blake Road and
Cambridge Avenue. This property is currently zoned B-3, General Business. The
General Business district is the business district that allows the most uses. Gas
stations, fast food, and drive-ins are allowed in this district. Staff has been discussing
the idea of rezoning this site to B-4, Neighborhood Business.
At their January meeting the Planning Commission discussed the existing zoning and
the possibility of rezoning the property to B-4. The Commission indicated that they
• would not recommend rezoning of this property.
The staff has been receiving inquiries on fast food and pharmacy uses
Tonight's discussion is to revisit the possible rezoning of the site.
Attached is the business section of the Zoning Ordinance with the uses ailowed in all
the business districts and an aerial indicating the location of the site.
