On September 1, 1998 a change was made from Single Family
to Multifamily and from Multifamily to Single Family about
1,000 feet northwest of the applicant's property.
On May 6, 1997 various changes were made from Single
Family, Public Institutional, Neighborhood Commercial and
Park/Open Space to Single Family, Low Density Residential,
Public Institutional, Office, Neighborhood Commercial, and
Community Shopping. The changes resulted in the current
designation of the applicant's property as Office on the
Land Use Plan.
The applicant's property is bounded on two sides by Office
to the north and west. Multi -family land uses lie to the
east and south of the applicant's property.
MASTER STREET PLAN:
Champlin Drive is shown on the Master Street Plan as a
proposed Minor Arterial. Rahling Road is shown on the
Master Street Plan as a Minor Arterial and is a segment of
the proposed West Loop.
PARKS:
The Park System Master Plan does not show any parks in the
vicinity of this proposed change that will be affected.
CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN:
This property lies just outside the boundary of the area
covered by the Rock Creek Neighborhood Action Plan on the
northwest corner. Nevertheless, the neighborhood action
plan has a Traffic and Transportation goal containing an
action statement that recommended the completion of
Champlin Drive.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant's property is located in a neighborhood
commercial node characterized by undeveloped land centered
on the Rahling Road / Champlin Drive intersection. The
existing PZD and the C-1 zoning should provide for
neighborhood services and goods. The Office future land

use along Champlin Drive is acting as a buffer surrounding
the developing commercial node and residential areas.
Expanding commercial uses south and east along Champlin
Drive will erode the buffer between residential areas. In
addition, the commercial node at the Chenal Parkway /
Rahling Road still has vacant land shown as Commercial
available for development. The Chenal Parkway / Kanis Road
intersection has vacant land available in an area shown as
Mixed Office Commercial on the Future Land Use Plan.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood
associations Aberdeen Court P.O.A., Bayonne Place P.O.A.,
Carriage Creek P.O.A., Eagle Pointe P.O.A., Glen Eagles
P.O.A., Hillsborough P.O.A., Hunters Cove P.O.A., Hunters
Green P.O.A., Johnson Ranch N.A., Marlowe Manor P.O.A., and
St Charles P.O.A. Staff has received no comments from area
residents.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change is not appropriate. Approval of
this amendment will result in the erosion of the Office
buffer around the commercial node at a time when
undeveloped land shown as Commercial on the Future Land Use
Plan exists within surrounding commercial nodes.
