STAFF ANALYSIS
5624 Baseline Road is currently zoned R-2 and the request to
rezone the site to C-3. At this time, there is a vacant
commercial building on the land and areas for parking. The
property has been nonconforming since the Baseline area was
annexed by a court order in the mid -1980's.
Zoning of the general vicinity is R-2, C-3, C-4 and I-2.
Land use along the Baseline corridor is quite diverse and
includes single family, multifamily, mobile home parks,
churches, offices, commercial and industrial. The commercial
uses range from retail establishments and eating places to
auto service.
The Geyer Springs East District Plan shows the north side
of Baseline Road from Geyer Springs Road to Gum Springs, a
distance of approximately one mile, for commercial use. The
properties that have been reclassified along this segment of
Baseline have been either to C-3 or C-4. Therefore, the
requested C-3 continues the trend established by the previous
actions and maintains the plan's overall concept. There are
no land use or zoning issues associated with this request.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS
The Master Street Plan requires a right-of-way of 45 feet
from the centerline of Baseline Road. Dedication of
additional right-of-way will be required because the existing
right-of-way is deficient.
