Deny the sector plan amendment to O (Office) because it is located at the gateway of an established neighborhood, and it does not meet any of the conditions warranting a change to the land use plan.

---

SECTOR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS FROM GENERAL PLAN (May meet any one of these):

CHANGES OF CONDITIONS WARRANTING AMENDMENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN:
1. There have been no recent developments in this general area that reflect the need for a change in the subject property's land use designation from LDR (Low Density Residential) to O (Office).

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW ROADS OR UTILITIES THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. This section of Chapman Highway and the narrow, local road of Stonewall Drive have not seen improvements that warrant reconsideration of the subject property's residential land use.

AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. The subject property has a dwelling on it that was built in 1940, and it is part of the South Woodlawn Neighborhood. The residential classification is not the result of an error in the plan.

TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL:
1. There have been no new trends in this area that pertain to the land use designation for the subject property.
2. The property's location next to a welcome sign for the established South Woodlawn Neighborhood makes an office use here possibly damaging to the image and character of the neighborhood.
