With the recommended condition, C-2 zoning will allow the redevelopment of this unused site with compatible mixed uses, similar to the mix of uses in the surrounding area. There is a nearby C-2 zoned site to the southwest between Sixth Ave and the railroad right-of-way. There is less opportunity for neighborhood unfriendly uses with C-2 uses, compared to C-3. This rezoning will create a small node anchoring the residential district providing a mixed use of services for the neighborhood.
