STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone 6.5 acres at the Northeast corner
of W 65th street and South University Avenue from 111-211 to
"C-411. No details of the development have been provided
other than indicating that the proposed land use will be
commercial, with the possibility of some open display.
Currently, the site is vacant. The most recent use of the
property was a concrete plant.
Zoning in the general area is made up of fl"R-211 , IIC-311 r 11C_
419, "11-211, and "IFCDII. Along South University, the zoning
pattern is a combination of "C-311, 11C-4111 and 111-211. The
land use is residential, a church, office, commercial and
industrial, with a number sof the commercial uses :having
outside display. There are also some undeveloped tracts and
vacant buildings in the area.
The adopted plan, 65th Street East, shows that .South
University corridor for Ilmdixed coammercial{industrial uses".
A "IC -411 reclassification is compatible with „the direction of
.land use plan, and Staff supports the proposed rezoning.
There are no land use or zoning issues associated with this
request.

West - Vacant, zoned 'IMF -.12"
STAFFANALYSIS:
'The property in question is a five acre tract located on the
south side of Mara Lynn Road just gest of where Bowman Road
intersects Mara Lynn and the Bowman Curve area. The request
before the Commission is to rezone the site from 11:MF-12" to
"C-21" for .future commercial and office uses. IT -21" is a
site plan review district, which requires Planning
Commission approval of the site plan prior to developing the
property. The acreage is vacant and heavily wooded, as is
the land to the west and south. Another unique physical
characteristic is the topography, which drops in elevation
from 510 in the northwest corner to 450 in the southeast
corner.
Lana use is mixture of single family, multi -family, office,
and commercial. Also, there is a large tract of land to the
south reserved for park and open space use; the area is
identified on the Master Warks :Flan as a existing park site.
zoning in the area is "R-211, "MF -12", "MF -1811, "MF -241','"0-3"",
"OS", and "PRD". The property abuts multi -family zoning on
two sides and "C-311 on the west side. Across Mara Lynn
Road., the zoning is "1MF-1811

October 23, 1990
Item No. 2 - Z-3166-8 (Continued)
Bath the existing land use and zoning have established a
pattern of the non-residential uses being oriented towards
Bowman Road, especially for the properties on the gest side
of Bowman Road. 'There is one commercial parcel to the east
of Bowman Road that fronts Dara Lynas Road only. The
remaining -commercial tracts have Bowman Road frontage.
Rezoning the five acres under consideration would endorse a
commercial site that is inappropriate because of the
property's location, and is a significant departure from the
adopted plan., I-430. The plan identifies the site for
single family attached. The plan's commercial line is the
eastern boundary -of the five acre parcel and conforms to the
existing zoning., with the orientation of the commercial
centers toward Bowman Road, the land use plan and zoning
lines are well defined, and should not be altered to
accommodate the proposed reclassification. There is an
adequate supply -cif-commercial .lana in the area and Staff
feels that there is no justification for adding the
additional acreage. And finally, allowing commercial zoning
to go unchecked in West Little Ruck Gould .have an adverse
impact on the city by encouraging a pattern of urban sprawl.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS,
Mara Lynn Road is classified as a minor arterial. The
existing right-of-way is deficient, so -dedication of
additional right -cif -wags will be required. The right-of-way
standard is 90 feet, or 45 feet from center line.
STAFF RECOMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the "C-21' rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (October 23, 1990)
The applicant was not present nor was he represented. The
Planning Staff reported to the commission that applicant
requested deferral to November 20, 1990 agenda by the phone
but did not submit letter requesting deferral... The Staff
suggested that the item be deferred to November 20, 19901
Subdivision ,agenda.
The Chair then asked for person present seeking more
information. Mrs_ Pain Penner, property manager adjacent to
propose rezoning, was in favor to the rezoning. She stated.
that she would Like to know more about proposed rezoning and
future development. She agreed to come back on November 20,
1990 agenda meeting.

SURROUNDING LAND -USE AND ZONING:
North Commercial, zoned ""R-2"
South- Vacant, zoned 1'fit-21"
East - Single Family, zoned "R-2"
West - Single Family, zoned "R-211
STAFFANALYSIS:
The property at 5205 Stagecoach is currently zoned 1IR-211,
and the request is to rezone the site to "C-3". The
proposal is to utilize the location for a computer
operation, or office equipment sales and service., which
requires "C-31" zoning to allow the proposed use by right.
There is one single family residence on the .land, and the
plan is to -convert the existing structure into the necessary
space for the new use.
On the wrest side of I-437, the zoning is "R-2", with the
exception of one "C-3" parcel. To the east of 1-430, the
zoning is ""R-2'", "�z�-2' and "'PC:d". The existing nand use is
more mixed and includes single family, commercial, auto
service, and industrial. A majority of the non-residential
uses wrest of 1-430 are non -conforming. Throughout the area,
there area number of undeveloped parcels, and to the south,
there is a substantial flood -way area.
The land use element of otter Creek District Flan identifies
the south side of Stagecoach Road. as "Mixed
cormmercial / industrial" . Therefore, ""C-31' reclassification
is compatible with the adopted plat, and Staff supports the
request. Commercial zoning of the property will have little
iimpact, if any, on the nearby properties because of the
existing development/land use found in the area.

Item No. 3 - Z..-53 67(Continued)
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Stagecoach Road (Highway No. 5) is classified as a principal
arterial, and the recommended right-of-way standard is 55
feet from the center line. Medication of additional right-
of-way will be required because of the existing right-of-way
is deficient.
There is no floodway involvement, however, the entire tract
is in the 100 year flood plain.
STAFF RECOMMEN.DATION :
Staff recommends approval of the "C-31' rezoning as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(October 23, 1990)

North - Single Family, zoned "R-2"
South - School, zoned "R -2f'
East - Commercial, zoned "R -2't
West - Vacant and Commercial, zoned "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS.
The request is rezone 3700 Baseline Road from "R-21" to "C-4"
for an auto related use., a tire service. No plans have been
submitted., so details -of the speei.fir, development are
unknown at this time. The :site: is vacant, and has 1:00 feet
of frontage on Baseline Road.
Land use is very mixed and includes single family, multi--
family,churches, a ,school, commercial and industrial. The
existing commercial uses range from small .retail
establishments to auto sales and service. The zoning is
primarily "R-21" because this area was annexed to the city
several years ago. Therefore, a high percentage of the
-commercial and industrial uses are .non-c-onfvrming. There
are two commercially zoned tracts in the general vicinity, a
"C-21" parcel at the southeast corner of Baseline Road and
Hilaro Springs and a "C-31" site on Scott Hamilton Drive.
The Geyer Springs East Plan shows the north side of Baseline
Road from Mize Road to Community Road for commercial
development. When an area along Baseline Riad has been
identified for commercial use on an adopted plan., the City
has endorsed a combination of "C-31" and "C-41" zoning
1
October 23, 1990
Item No. 4 - -5368 (Continued
Starff''s posit3ton is that the proposed "C-411 reclassification
conforms to the land use pian and the rezoning should not
have any impact on the surrounding properties. Also, the
proposal is not introducing a new land use to the.
neighborhood.
ENGINEERING COMMENT'S
The required right-of-way for this segment for Baseline Road
is 45 feet from the center line, the urban standard for .a
principal arterial.. A portion of the property has the
necessary 45 feet of right-of-way, but there is a piece that
has only has 40 feet, so dedication of some additional
right-of-way will be needed.
STAFF' RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the 11C-410 rezoning as filed,.
PLANNING COMI SSION ACTION; (October 23, 19'90j
