090 RESOLUTION NO. Page four 87- 15 (iii) Missionaries at Home, Inc. proposes to provide a five (5) foot landscape planter along both the Daisy and Walnut Street frontages. This 1400 square feet of planter area meets the yard and landscaping requirements of the City's most restrictive commercial zoning district. (iv) The yard area thus provided will allow for development of an integrated landscape scheme to provide the scenic amenities of a landscaped streetscape at this location. (v) Twelve (12) parking spaces, in lieu of the required thirty-nine (39) parking spaces, will be sufficient to service the rescue center site inasmuch as historically the rescue center's lodgers are not operators of motor vehicles; coupled with the fact that the site has immediate access to public transit facilities (the site is approximately 150 feet south of First Street, a major arterial, and a bus stop is located on the southwest corner of First and Daisy Streets).

(c) The granting of the Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to surrounding property, as follows: (i) The rescue center's site at 120 South Daisy Street is located in a mixed-use area and in close prox- imity to other social services uses. To the north of the site are located commercial uses (abandoned restaurant, auto repair and auto service).

Just northwest of the site is located the state's Human Resources and Development De- partment office. Just southwest of the site at Chestnut and Center Streets are located community-sponsored education and training facilities. To the east of the site are located resi- dential uses with commercial uses fronting on First Street. To the west of the site are locates uses associated with automotive services and repair. tions ation; (ii) That the imposition of certain condi- to the approval of the Variance, such as: hours of oper- no congregating outside the facility; provision of adequate
