E
This request is located in the Otter Creek Planning District. The Land Use Plan
shows Light Industrial (LI) for this property. The Light Industrial category
provides for light warehouse, distribution or storage uses, and/or other industrial
uses that are developed in a well-designed "park like" setting. The applicant has
applied for a rezoning from R-2 (Single -Family Residential) to 1-2 (Light Industrial
District) to recognize this portion of their warehouse/distribution site as industrial.
Master Street Plan:
Otter Creek South Road is shown as a Local Street on the Master Street Plan.
Interstate 30 is shown as a Freeway on the Master Street Plan. Freeways serve
long distance trips, they are always designed as full access control roads. The
primary function of a Local Street is to provide access to adjacent properties.
Local Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive
zoning than duplexes are considered as "Commercial Streets". A Collector
design standard is used for Commercial Streets. These streets may require
dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances
and exits to the site.
BICYCLE PLAN:
There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
T -Bar Properties, LLC owner of the 4.39 acre property located at the southeast
corner of Interstate 30 and Otter Creek South Road, is requesting to rezone the
property from "R-2" Single Family District to 1-2" Light Industrial District. The
rezoning is proposed to allow use of the property as a parking lot for the industrial
use to the south and west.

NO.: Z -5667-B (Cant.
The 4.39 acre property is part of the overall ownership of the Cal -Ark Trucking
property (old Affiliated Foods facility). The west one-third of the property contains
paved parking and drives for the existing building. The east two-thirds of the site is
undeveloped. Light industrial uses are located on the 1-2 zoned property to the
east, west and south. The old Cal -Ark Trucking facility is located on the C-4 zoned
property across 1-30.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Light Industrial. The
requested 1-2 zoning does not require an amendment to the plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested 1-2 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. As noted above, the subject property is surrounded by 1-2 zoning and
light industrial uses. The proposed 1-2 zoning will be a continuation of the existing
zoning pattern for this area. Staff feels that the requested 1-2 zoning is a "clean-
up" type issue, as it is part of the same ownership as the overall Cal -Ark Trucking
(Affiliated Foods) facility, with part of the property being occupied by a paved
parking area. Staff believes rezoning this property to 1-2 will have no adverse
impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-2 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 15, 2015)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item
and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "staff recommendation" above.
There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent agenda and
approved as recommended by staff by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent.
