ITEM NO.: A FILE NO.: LU98-01-01
Name: Land Use Plan Amendment - River Mountain
Planning District
Location: 14122 Taylor Loop Road
Recuest: Single Family to Suburban Office
Source: Robert Trammell
PROPOSAL / REOUEST:
Land Use Plan amendment in the River Mountain Planning
District from Single Family to Suburban Office. Suburban
Office provides for low intensity development of office or
office parks in close proximity to lower density residential
areas to assure compatibility. A Planned Zoning District is
required.
CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING:
The property is currently zoned R-2 and is approximately 1/2
acre in size. To the north in a Transition area is a hair
salon and a veterinarian with a PCD and a PDO, respectively.
To the east, south and west are single family homes zoned
R-2 shown as Single Family on the land Use Plan. To the
northwest, is a PCD for the Harvest Foods that lie in an
area shown as commercial on the Land Use Plan.
RECENT AMENDMENTS•
There have not been any amendments in the recent past in the
area. The River Mountain Neighborhood Action Plan of March
1998 did not make any changes either.
MASTER STREET PLAN:
Taylor Loop Road is shown as a Minor Arterial on the plan.
Half -street improvements have been made on the west side of
the street, but not the east. This section of Taylor Loop
connects with Rahling Road that intersects Chenal Parkway.
Westchester Court is a residential street.
BACKGROUND:
As stated before, this site lies directly to the south of a
Transition Area (as shown on the Land Use Plan). The
definition of Transition states that it is a 11 designation
which provides for an orderly transition between residential
uses and other more intense uses. Transition was
established to deal with areas which contain zoned
residential uses and nonconforming residential uses. A

Planned Zoning District is required unless the application
conforms to the Design Overlay standards. Uses which may be
considered are low density multi -family and office uses if
the proposals are compatible with quality of life in nearby
residential areas." This area of Transition to the north of
the site was established to do just that, create a
transition. The veterinarian and hair salon are located in
existing houses and act as that transition.
This site lies in the area reviewed under the River Mountain
neighborhood Action Plan of March 1998. In that process, the
Land Use Plan was reviewed and no changes were made as a
result of that plan. "The committee supports the use of the
Transition category along Highwayl0 and does not wish to see
it changed." Suburban Office can act as a transition
between higher intensity uses and single family homes. To
change this to Suburban Office, would in effect, be
increasing the Transition area, which would be in contrast
to the neighborhood plan.
This site is in close proximity to the proposed Fire Station
at 14215 Taylor Loop Road, but any approval of the fire
station will not alter the existing conditions enough to
disregard the neighborhood plan.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood
associations: Pleasant Valley, Walton Heights, Pankey,
Pleasant Forest, West Bury, Westchester, and Secluded Hills.
As of this printing, Staff has not received any calls from
neighbors or neighborhood groups concerning this filing.
