STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposal for 11,805 Hinson Road is to develop the
property for a Masonic lodge. To accomplish the plan, the
site must first be rezoned from R-2 to 0-3, which permits
lodges or fraternal organizations by right. The property is
situated on the south side of Hinson, between Green Mountain
and Hinson Loop. At this time, there is a small structure
located in the middle of the lot and in the past there was a
single story residence which straddled the east property
line. Within the past year, the building was removed from
the land.
Zoning in the surrounding neighborhood is quite mixed and
includes R-2, R-4, R-5, MF -12, MF -18, MF -24, 0-2, 0-3, C-2,
C-3 and PCD. The property in question abuts R-2 and PCD,
with R-2 across Hinson. Land use is very similar to the
existing zoning and is made up of single family,
multifamily, office, commercial, auto service and a private
golf course. A portion of the large 0-3 tract at the
southwest corner of Hinson and Hinson Loop is vacant, as are
several smaller tracts in the immediate vicinity.
The adopted land use plan for the area, Rodney Parham, shows
the property for office use. The plan designates the south
side of Hinson from Napa Valley to just east of this site

for office development. Also, some of the Rodney
Parham/Hinson intersection is identified for office use.
Reclassifying the site to 0-3 will not have any impact on
the nearby properties.
(It appears that the title to the tract was transferred to
the current owner without benefit of a plat, approximately
3 to 4 months ago. To legally subdivide the property, a
plat must be approved and recorded to create the new lot.
Also, new 0-3 lots require a minimum width of 100 feet and
an area of 14,000 square feet. At this time, the survey
shows a lot width of only 95 feet.)
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Hinson Road is classified as a minor arterial, which has a
right-of-way standard of 45 feet from the centerline. The
existing right-of-way is 40 feet and Engineering feels that
the 40 feet is sufficient for any improvements, including
the current project to widen Hinson. Therefore, Engineering
is recommending that a variance from,the right-of-way
requirement be granted by the Board of Directors.
