Item No. 1 - Z -3899-A
Owner: Ray and Nancy Richardson
Address: 7410 Stagecoach Road
Description: Long legal
Zoned: "R-2" Single Family
Variance
Requested: Relief from Section 5-101-C to permit
expansion of an existing nonconforming
use.
Present Use of
Property: Industrial
Proposed Use of
Property: Same
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This applicant recently filed an application to rezone this
property from "R-2" Single Family to "I-2" Light Industrial.
The area is shown on the Suburban Development Plan for
continued single family use. The Planning Commission,
agreeing with staff, felt that the property should not be
zoned for industrial use, but it also felt that
Mr. Richardson has a legitimate hardship situation in this
case.
This business has been in this location for five years and
the property was annexed after considerable investment had
been made on the property. The owner plans to make two
additions: (1) an addition to the office to house computer
equipment and (2) a new storage facility on the far north
end of the site. In fact, until the referendum on
November 2, the site of the new storage building was out of
the city limits. The annexation accomplished by -the
referendum will not be final until December 3 and appears
headed for litigation which might lengthen this process
considerably.
Staff recommends approval of the expansion as proposed.
BOARD ACTION:
The applicant was present, and there were no objectors.
After a brief discussion, the Board moved to approve the
expansion of the nonconforming use as suggested by Staff.
The motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
