This C-4 request was filed as the result of an enforcement
action by the City. The owner, Farmers' Association, fenced
in an area adjacent to Stagecoach Road (Highway No. 5) for
outside storage and display, which is not permitted in C-3.
Farmers' Association was then instructed to either remove
the violation or try to rezone to their appropriate
district.
The site is utilized for the retail sales of farming
equipment and other related merchandise. There are several
structures on the site, which has frontage on Colonel Glenn
and Stagecoach Road. The property's location is just west
of where Stagecoach splits from Asher Avenue and Colonel
Glenn Road. Outside storage has been ongoing for years,
prior to the City annexing this part of Stagecoach. By
adding the new outside storage area, expansion of the
nonconforming use has occurred.
Zoning in the general vicinity includes R-2, R-3, 0-3, C-3
and C-4. The commercial properties that front Stagecoach
and Asher are zoned C-3 or C-4. Land use is made up of

single family, office, commercial, several churches and a
school. Some of the land in the surrounding neighborhood
is undeveloped.
C-4 is designed for heavily traveled arterials such as
Stagecoach Road and Asher Avenue. Therefore, staff feels
that the proposed reclassification is reasonable and
supports the request. The I-430 District Plan shows the
site as part of a neighborhood commercial area, and the
type of zoning usually associated with neighborhood
commercial is C-1 or C-3. Due to the property's location,
staff feels a C-4 reclassification will not significantly
alter the plan's overall land use direction and is
appropriate. Also, the C-4 rezoning should not have any
impact on the surrounding properties, including the
residential lots to the west because of a thick planting
of vegetation.
(NOTE: In the C-4 district, there shall be no open display
of any kind whatsoever in the first 20 feet of the required
front yard setback.)
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Colonel Glenn Road has the right-of-way standard of 55 feet
from the centerline. The existing right-of-way is deficient
and dedication of additional right-of-way is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the C-4 rezoning as requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(JUNE 2, 1992)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors and the
request was placed on the Consent Agenda. The C-4 rezoning

From the building line provisions
of section 31-12.0 to permit a
building line variance.
Due to the lot configuration, the
new construction will cross a
platted building line.

There are no issues to be reported.
B. Staff Analysis:
The applicant has a building permit to construct a
8,000 square feet building, and it is currently under
construction. In addition to the 8,000 square feet, the
applicant wishes to build an additional 12,000 square feet
as will be needed at a later date. This would allow for
the applicant to have a total of 20,000 square feet.
Due to an unusual lot configuration, the last 4,000 square
feet of the west side of the project will extend approxi-
mately fifteen (15) square feet over the platted building
line.
The applicant states that by obtaining the variance in
advance, this would prevent any delay in the construction
of the additional square footage.

Item No. 3 Cont.
As with all building line variance request, the applicant
will have to do two additional steps to complete the
process. Those steps are (a) the filing of a replat in
the County Clerk's Office and Planning Department and
(b) provide an amended Bill of Assurance to be filed at
the County Clerk's Office.
Staff found no problem with the applicant's request. No
undue impact will be placed on the adjacent property owners.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval subject to the additional steps
to the building process being met.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: (MAY 26, 1992)
The applicant was in attendance. There were no objectors
present. The applicant stated that he had no problems with
the staff's recommendation. A motion was then made to approve
the building line variance subject to the two additional steps
being met. The motion passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes and
1 open position.
