believed that spaces are needed for a truck turn around. Mr. Conway clarified that they need a 12 by 25 foot space for loading and one parking space could be enlarged. Mr. Thomas stated that since the back of the building was identical to the front it would indicate that at some time they might want access onto Brookpark Road. If there is ever a shared access or ring road at that point there should be an area that is not used for parking. Mr. Shartman will revise these plans and it was explained that the Commission is permitted to landbank some of the required parking, as long as there is room to install it later if it is needed. T. Morgan moved to refer the Great Northern Dodge proposal to construct a new building to be leased to Boaters' World to the Architectural Review Board, to the Safety Department and the Engineering Department, and with the idea that the developer present to the A.R.B. more detailed landscaped plans and look seriously into eliminating some of the shown parki.ng spaces with the idea of landbanking them and including them in some sort of combined landscaped plan, seconded by J. Thomas, and unanimously approved. IVo NEW DEVELOPMIIVTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Christ the King Property Rezoning Proposal. The proposal is to rezone property owned by Christ the King CoirIInunity, Inc. (permanent parcel nos. 234-8-2,6,8,and 234-13-27 28), located west off Barton Road and abutting the North Olmsted south corporation line, from an existing zone district of Mixed Use "B" to zone district of Multiple Residence, Single-Family Cluster, and Single Family. Mr. Grindell, attorney, representing Christ The King, introduced the Reverend Kuhn, and Mr. Isgar from the church. He explained that this is a 57 acre parcel off Barton Road in North Olmsted with some additional adjacent property in Olmsted Township. This property is bounded by Olmsted Township and Lorain County and partially abuts I-480. They are requesting that a 20 acre segment urnnediately adjacent to I-480 be rezoned to Multiple Residence, a small portion fronting on Barton Road be rezoned to Single Family, and the balance be rezoned to Single Family Cluster. They originally planned an institutional conumun-ity which would ha.ve included duplex homes. The City had approved the first phase of this development and the first duplex has been built. It is no longer feasible to continue with these plans, and they are attempting to rezone the parcel in order to re-sell it. He advised that they have just found out that they will need a referendtun to rezone to multi-family, previously they had been told that the rnunber of multi=family units were under the threshold required so that 240 tmits could have been built without a vote. Because of the location of this parcel they believe that this proposed zonlnro would be the most desirable. It was clarified that the Mixed Use "B" zoning was specifically written for this parcel. Mr. Thomas would like to lmow how this parcel was zoned originally. He questioned if there were specific developers interested in the property. Mr. Grindell stated that two developers were interested, but they do have concerns because of the proximity of the freeway and the configuration of the southwestern segment. No developer has been interested in in constructing single family homes because of the traffic noise from the freeway. The single family cluster zonin,g would accommodate duplex units without a referendtun according to Law Director Gareau, but there would be a possibility of a referendun if triplex units were constructed. Mr. Thomas questioned if either of the developers were interested in senior housing and explained the Mixed Use "D" zoning which could accommodate retirement housing. Mr. Grindell is concerned that this location would not be close enough to services for 2
