            WHEREAS, the Fort Thomas Planning Commission found that the requested zone change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and specifically the Land Use Plan Element which recommends the area for mixed use; and

 

            WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan recommends development of services near similar land uses and better utilization of historic buildings.  The existing structure is adjoined by commercial zoning to the north and high density residential zoning to the east and west.  Continued use of the structure for single family residential is not consistent with surrounding land uses; and
