It is presently occupied by Bachelor's Inn and George's Exchange. a tavern and a used furniture retail store xespectively. The tavern has been in existence and in operation at least since the calendar year 1951. We understand there is some question as to tavern use under the present day zoning applicable to the pxoperty. For this xeason. it 1s desired that the property be rezoned to Zone F. 2. The anticipated use is the same as the use that has been in existence for the past 15 years or 80 and the axea sexved by this use is the entire City of Salina and suxrounding trade territory. It will not be necessary to build a new structure at the present time . rt is more feasible to rezone this area than attempt to acquire other propertJ'be~ause the buildings are already in existence. Using some forsi~1t. the economic situation in the area px2vents us from giving reasonable assurance that for a certain number of years the use of this property will be that use to which it is now being put. However, it is applicant's intention to continue the present use. The proposed use is the same as the use over the last 15 years and therefore ahould not increase traffic ox px.s.nt any traffic detrimental to the adjoining properties. The present us. and the intended use of the property should not in any way be objectionable to oux neiSbbox8 a. the use exi.ted before thexe were neighbors. Suuounding property values will be maintained. The bads fox this assumption is that we aJ:e asking no change in use. The areaat present is served by a similar type zone in that several hundred foot of frontage i~dtately north of IFRM is p~esently zoned F and the effect of adding the above-described property to Zone F will be to make the aJ:ea moxe uniform in zoning. There are no restrictive covenants on the property. There should be no effect on pxesent or future major traffic thoroughfares. There will be sufficient off stJ:eet p&J:king even if there were a I'DDxe intense use but there will be no change in use. The estimated boundary of the area to be served is Salina and its trade territory. The basis on which this boundary is drawn is that both places &re a retail establishment. The proposed use, being the same as the previous and existing use, will maintain, health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity and the general welfare of the neighborhood in exactly the same manner as it has in the past without resuling in any change. This application is made upon the suggestion of the City Attorney in ordex to make the use match the zoning. It is quite likely that the present use of the property would constitute a legal use undex the "Grandfathex clause", but at the present time we are unable to locate the person who was opexating the tavern at the tilOO this area was brought within the City limits of Salina.
