LAND USE AND ZONING The subject ~ite is zoned M-l and developed with industrial buildings. Properties to the north, south, east and west are zoned M-l and developed with'mixed residential dwellings and in- dustrial uses. (See the attached Land Use & Zoning Map.)

The front building is occupied by a machine shop which contains 2,200 square feet and the pro- posed site for the music school which contains 2.,200 square feet. A metal fabricator shop is located in the back of this building, and contains 2,5,20 square feet. The total floor area for both buildings is 6,920 square feet. The applicant proposes to op~rate the music school from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Classes would be conducted by two instructors with five pupils each. The average age of the students range from ten to fifteen years. The students would be accompanied by an adult to the class. Restroom facilities are adequate for the proposed use. The proposed site is substandard in regards to the following items: 1. The building is located 3 feet 8 inches from the front property line in lieu of 10 feet required. Landscaping is provided ad- jacent to the building in this area. . . . C.li.P. 76-5 2 2. A 5 foot side yard ,setback is required on each side of a building in an M-l zone. The front building is built on the property line and the rear building has a 5 foot set- back on the westerly side and a 3 foot setback on the easterly side. The westerly side yard is overgrown with weeds. 3. The minimum lot size in an M-l zone is 15,000 square feet; the subject site contains only 8,000 square feet. 4. The site has a lot coverage of 87 percent; the maximum allowed is 60 percent. 5, Every main building must have a mln1.mUm of one off-street/off- alley loading spaci; the subject site has none.

Twenty-eight parking spaces are provided in this lot; twenty-two parking spaces are required for the uses on the subject site; ten for the industrial uses and twelve for the proposed music school. . This parkin~ area is in a state of disrepair. There are several large holes and grass and weeds are growing in the parking area. A ten foot landscaped front setback area is required on St. Joseph Street, there is no landscaping in the iot. The Planning Department does not believe that the use of the music school would be detrimental to the area; the hours of operation are during nonbusiness hours'and this school would be a less in- tensive use of the property than a normal industrial facility.

The Planning Commission in its approval or denial of the proposed conditional use permit must make the determination that the pro- posed condit.ional use permit would or would 'not have a s.ubstantial adverse impact on the environment, RECOMMENDATION .
