makes its following findings and ,conclusions:
• FINDINGS: •
1. The applicants have requested a major modification to an
existing planned development located at the northwest corner of
Cornell Avenue and West Nob Hill Boulevard. Their proposal is to
construct a 17,000 square foot building to house a retail'fabric
store. There are plans later to locate a second business in the
building that would compliment the fabric store. If the project is
approved, the applicants intend to start construction within three
to sixmonths.
2. The property is zoned Planned Development (Commercial) •
• and lies unimproved. The surrounding zoning and land use is as
follows:
North Planned Development Adult Apartments
South R-2 Single Family/Apartment House •
• East B-3 Church
West R-2 Single Family • •• 3. The property is suited for auto oriented' Commercial
develOpment,- according to the criteria set forth in the Optimal
• Land Use Plan.
• • D3 X3
4. The site has been zoned Planned Development (apartments/
commercial) since June, 1973. The 1973 commercial proposal was for
a drive—in dairy mart to be located on the east half (Cornell
Avenue side) of the property abutting West Nob Hill Boulevard. The
west half contained no proposal and was to be developed later under
Aft
the guidelines set forth by Planned Development zoning approval. 1111
5. In April of 1978 a request for a major modification for
the east half (dairy mart) was submitted. The proposal was for the
construction of a fast food restaurant in the previously proposed
dairy mart location. The City granted approval of this request.
6. The Planning Commission recommended this modification to
the existing Planned Development he granted.

CONCLUSIONS
1. At least half of the property has been established as
being acceptable for intensive automobile oriented commercial
development. The west half contains the same potential for inten—
sive commercial development as the east half, already developed.
The proposal is to develop the entire site, thereby eliminating any
potential compatibility conflicts. The proposal is within the
range of acceptable land uses determined to be automobile oriented
commercial as defined by the Optimal Land Use Plan.
2. The recommendation of the Planning Commission should be
approved, and the major modifications should be granted; now,
therefore,
