(A) Rezoning request - 3452 South Cobb Drive from 0&I to GC (Conditional) John Patterson stated that Glenn Brock is requesting this zoning for Long & Cox Properties from 0&I to GC Conditional to facilitate a Goodyear Tire and Service Center, a diner and auto service center. This property was zoned from R-20 to 0&I on August 18, 1986 for a medical office building but the owners have been unable to market the property under the 0&I category. Property to the north and east is zoned General Commercial, with R-15 to the south, R-15 and General Commercial to the west. This zoning request was tabled at the October 3, 1988 meeting. There was no opposition from the audience. Mr. Brock presented a plan for the development and said they had, at the request of council, attempted to make as many accommodations as possible to the adjacent homeowners. Specifically, as shown in the colored rendering, they have added a concrete wall around the dumpster and agreed to add additional buffering behind the car care center. The proposed privacy fence behind the Goodyear Car Center was removed at the suggestion of the City Engineer to allow the additional buffer and instead will have a privacy fence that will be attached to each end of the building with a gate to allow them to get to the maintenance area for the buffer.
