STAFF ANALYSTS
The request before the Commission is to rezone the property under
consideration from 0-3 to C-3. The proposal is to construct a
new building and utilize the location for the retail sale of auto
parts. Currently, the site is paved and used for storage of
autos for a repair garage, located directly to the north. (A
number of years ago, the Board of Adjustment authorized using the
property for outside storage.)
Zoning is a combination of R-2, R-5, 0-3, C-3, C-4 and I-2, with
the property abutting 0-3 and C-3. Land use in the general
vicinity is similar to the zoning and includes single family,
multifamily, office and commercial. The existing commercial uses
range from small retail establishments to auto services.
The 65th Street East Plan identifies the site for multifamily
use. The land use plan shows the commercial area to start at the
property to the north, zoned C-3. Plan recognizes the existing
multifamily developments to the east and west, across Lancaster.
Reclassifying the location to C-3 is a reasonable option because
of an easement along the east property line and the site has a
stronger tie to the commercial uses. The easement is 40 feet in
width and built up so that it totally isolates the property from
the -uses to the south and east. A C-3 rezoning of the site will
not impact the surrounding properties, nor will it alter a basic
direction of the adopted land use plan.
