Center were revealed this morning at a meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission Willie York of Raleigh representing Northgate asked the commission to allow a change in the shopping center site plan to allow construction of the new building on the east side of the center next to Gregson Street The commission however agreed with City Planning Director Paul Brooks that enough data had not been presented on the proposal Action was deferred with the provision that a special meeting would be called sometime before the City first meeting in April to consider the proposal Meanwhile York was asked to provide Brooks with information necessary for evaluation of the proposal Approval was granted fix minor changes to two stores in the shopping center The building the commission deferred action on will have two floors with 65000 square feet each York said It will be set on to allow parking beneath it he told the commission Although he did not name the firm York said Northgate is dealing with a major department store Noting the inclusion of an automobile service center and gasoline pumps at the south end of the store York told the commission he expects to appear later to ask for a change In the C-1A shopping center zone ordinance to allow gas pumps The ordinance prohibits them now When Brooks told the commission he did not think the plan change could be approved without specific information on loading areas parking layout building dimensions and the ratio of floor space to parking area the discussion turned to the merits of the C-1A zone ordinance Brooks maintained that the ordinance required very specific data and that York had not provided this He added that Rand manager of Northgate told him last night the department store question would not come before the commission today Brooks said he wanted to accommodate Northgate and had always had a good relationship with the shopping center but time had worked against them In this instance York held that all the information necessary was on the proposed site plan and began writing figures on parking spaces on the print He said there was no point in putting exact data on the plan because the tenant would probably want a different arrangement Commissioner Ashbaugh Jr asked York if ha thought the ordinance does not give enough flexibility "It certainly York replied Brooks said the City Council would want specific information before approving the change Commissioner Archie Davis referring to Council approval last night of a C-1A zone without a site plan west of Northgate -said "The Council seem to want site plans as of last Another complication in the revised plan developed from the proposal to build two stores on stilts over a sewer easement Brooks said the commission should check with the dty attorney before allowing that York agreed to hold off on that proposaL As the discussion wanned up a bit two citizens rose to commend Brooks on his insistence that all provisions of the ordinance be met At the suggestion of Chairman Noble Clay the commission decided to have Brooks call a special meeting to consider the department store proposal as soon as the administration has all the Information it requires and has time to study In a second ease presented by York the commission approved tiie site plan for the proposed Ctaudaila Shopping Center on Hillandale Road Brooks said the rite Irian met an requirements and the shopping center appeared well thought out York noted the provision for stores and a dual auditorium movie theater He said he is trying to work out something with
