PURSUANT TO THE GENERAL PLAN, PLANNING FRAMEWORK CHAPTER, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RESERVES THE AUTHORITY TO RECOMMEND LAND USE PLAN CHANGES BASED ON SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED CONDITIONS, SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED CONDITIONS INCLUDE (may include any of these):

INTRODUCTION TO SIGNIFICANT NEW ROADS OR UTILITIES THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE.
1. In 2022, Louisiana Avenue and Connecticut Avenue were improved between Gloria Garner Street and Burnside Street. Road improvements included widening the roads and sidewalks, adding crosswalks to Lonsdale Elementary, and installing a painted medium to help control traffic flow.

AN OBVIOUS AND SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN.
1. The current TDR (Traditional Neighborhood Residential) land use classification is consistent with the surrounding residential development and is not the result of an error in the plan. However, the O (Office) land use classification can be considered here because it would permit transitional uses between the industrial uses to the south and the residential neighborhood to the north.

CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT POLICY, SUCH AS A DECISION TO CONCENTRATE DEVELOPMENT IN CERTAIN AREAS.
1. There are no known changes in government policy pertaining to this area.

TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION, OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL.
1. In Fall 2022, the new Lonsdale Elementary School campus was opened approximately 550 ft north of the subject property. The new Lonsdale Park and Sam Hill E. Community Center is underway 0.23 miles of the subject property, next to the Haslam-Sansom sports complex and multi-purpose facility that was opened in 2019.
