Findings are provided. below with respect to each of the applicable criteria. <br />EC 9.8865 Zone Change <br />1) The proposed change is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan. The <br />written text of the Metro Plan shall take precedence over the Metro Plan diagram where <br />apparent conflicts or inconsistencies exist. <br />The Metro Plan designates the property for medium density residential use. However, the Metro <br />Plan recognizes that approximately 32 percent of residentially designated areas typically <br />accommodate non-residential uses such as parks, schools, churches and neighborhood commercial <br />uses (page III-A-4). The historic Brunner-Schmitz House is an example of an appropriate site for <br />limited non-residential use within a residential area as the zoning will maintain the residential <br />character of the house even if limited commercial uses are allowed. The proposed Special Area <br />Zone includes a list of limited residential and non-residential uses, including office uses and certain <br />small scale commercial uses, consistent with the Metro Plan diagram. Applicable Metro Plan <br />policies are discussed below. <br />Findings - Brunner Schmitz House (Z 10-12) Page 3 <br />403
