The property is located at the northeastern corner of Chenal Parkway and West Markham Street. The applicant proposes to utilize 15 parking spaces within the south half of the existing parking area to park and display rental trucks.

ANALYSIS: The Planning and Development staff began reviewing this area in the late summer of 2018. The existing development pattern, as well as existing zoning and recent re-classification actions were reviewed. Letters were sent to all neighborhood associations in the area asking for suggested changes in the area in late July. In September after receiving only informational contacts, Staff began field reviews. After field visits and discussions, Staff developed a package of changes and identified affected property owners. All the affected property owners were contacted about the possibility of changing the Land Use Plan designation of their property in late December 2018. In addition the Neighborhood based groups were also notified of the proposed changes and invited to comment. Staff received several phone contacts for information as a result of this notice letter. Two owners requested that their properties not be changed and Staff removed those areas from the draft package of changes. A second letter was developed and notices were sent to approximately 26 property owners and all the previous Neighborhood Association for this public hearing on the change package. Staff believes this package of changes is a ‘clean-up’ to more accurately reflect the current and likely future development pattern in the area of the changes. The resulting ‘package’ of changes should create a more accurate Future Land Use Plan all can use, whether public or private.
