Analysis: According to the applicant's testimony, the proposed plans for the subject Plots include the expansion of a four room bed and breakiast inn into a nine rcom facility with the owners residing on the premises. The facility which is intended to serve mainly visitors will also be available to residents.

He further stated that operating hours of the facility will be controlled by his lease agreentent inorder to alleviate late hour activities and noise; and that lighting for the facility will be controlled by providing down lighting for parking and security. He stated that it was not his intention to compete with existing businesses on the North Side. CONCLUSION The Department of Planning and Natural Resources conducted site visits, held a public hearing, evaluated the appropriateness of the request and determined that the requested uses are compatible with the surrounding area but that the full Itable of uses permitted as a matter of right in the B-3 zoning district would be incompatible with the low density and quiet residential character of the surrounding area. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Planning and Natural Resources recommends that the petition to amend Official Zoning Map No. STZ-4, Remainder Parcel No. 33, Parcels No. 34 and 44A Estate Elizabeth, No. 81 Great Northside Quarter, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands from R-1 (Residential - Low Density) to B-3 (Business - Scattered) be denied. Instead, the Department recommends that, by the authority granted pursuant to Title 29 Virgin Islands Code, Section 238a, the Legislature grant a variance to allow retail trade, personal and professional services, and business and government services, and that all other requirements of the R-1 zoning district shall apply.

FINDINGS: Applicants Owrer; Acreage: Existing Zone: Requested Zone: Present Use: Proposed Use: Sursounding Use: Public Response: Maria B, Calderon for Jose R, Calderon, As per Batgain and Sale Deed dated April 23, 1969, the owner of the property is Jose R. Calderon. 17 U.S, Acres (S100 sq. ft.) R-3 (Residential Mediurn Density) B-3 (Business Scattered) Plot # 151:152 Richmond is developed with a commercial warehouse, ‘the structure was previously used as a wholesale warehouse, The applicant would like to resume use of the property for 4 comrnereial warehouse, The subject lot ts close.49..4 major public road, and is immediately northeast:of the Dr. Donna Christian-Christiansen medical building. The surrounding area also experiences residential activity, and a mixture of pre-existing, non-conforming businesses. Two area residents testified on the petition and wile dicey did not oppose the proposed use of the property, they are concerned that the B-3 zone allows as & Matter of right 143 uses, some of which may not FAX: (809) 778-1716 PDL (809) 777.8413 “—™. 7 ) Ko6ot og : Fac-99-03 Recommendation be compatible with residential use. The testifier’s stated rhat their interest in the matter was not to impede use of the coramercial warchouse, but rather to protect their interest in the residential area from the threat of adverse commercial activity which could happen if the property is granted a B-3 zoning designation. Analysis and Conclusion: Recommendation: a Sati calhewaeerummeremeeee aioe Dean Plaskatt, Esq. [he property has had a jong history of non-conforming business activity, with the structure thereon predating the zoning law. The Calderon's operated the warehousing activity at the subject property for approximately twenty ycars with the support of atea residents, Thetr rationale for petitioning the Legislature for a zoning change or variance, :had to do with the fact that there has been an occasion where the property had not been in use for a year and a half. and resultantly, the non-conforming provision of the Zoning Law no longer applied. The appligant indicated at the public hearing that her family intends to use the property for nothing else but a warehouse in flight of the fact that parking would be a major issue if any other business was to be undertaken at the site. ‘The applicant also indicated that she would be ainenabie.to accepting a use variance, laking into account the concerns expressed by the tesideutial community with regard to the myriad of uses permitted by the B-3 zone. The Department of Planning and Natural Resources has no objections to the use of the property for a warehouse, and considers the applicants request lo be reasonable. The Department therefore recommends that a use variance be granted to Plot 151-152 Estate Richmond with the condition that all of the B-3 zoning requirements retain their applicability to the property.” Z Cc. 1/4195 Commissioner, Planning and Natural Resources DCP/DILM/dhin HUG!
