Commissioner Doughty inquired regarding the types of crimes; how Norm's measured up to other restaurants; and if it were not opened for 24 hours would the crime rate decrease. In response, Mr. Mike McCoy stated that there had been 10 reported incidents in 1995 mostly disturbing the peace and a few auto burglaries. The restaurant measured 11th out of 102 in crime and if Norm's was not opened for 24 hours, the crime rate would likely decline. Mr. Terry O' Connell briefly indicated that the crime issues had been addressed and he reviewed the conditions and had no objections.

AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 95-8 (Vince Fregoso) Filed by Veronica Ruiz to change the zoning of the subject property located at 1326 North Logan Street from Two-Family Residential (R2) to Light Industrial (M1) in order to construct an auto repair facility. LEGAL NOTICE PUBLISHED: October 29, 1995 PUBLIC-NOTICES MAILED: October 31, 1995 Recommend that the City Council deny Amendment Application No. 95-8. Mr. Vince Fregoso, Associate Planner, briefly indicated that the applicant was requesting to change the zoning designation of three parcels from Two- Family Residential to Light Industrial and to construct an automobile repair facility. In summation of the history of the project, Mr. Fregoso stated the project had been before the Commission and City Council several times in 1994 and the request was to allow an automotive salvage yard. The project was denied due to the negative impacts to the adjacent residential neighborhood. City Council directed staff to work with the applicant and the neighborhood to determine various alternatives for .the project. No additional alternatives could be agreed upon by the parties so the applicant requested and was granted an indefinite continuance. In addition, staff feels that the project would negatively impact the adjacent residential uses and does not support the project. Me. Veronica Ruiz, applicant, displayed a slide presentation and briefly stated that previously she had requested an auto salvage yard. This new proposal unlike the previous one would be an auto repair yard. The proposed project would be a smaller business; would not require tow trucks which would reduce the noise level for the adjacent residents; and would benefit the community.
