Request: SF to PK/OS and MCI

PROPOSAL / REQUEST:
The request is a Land Use Plan amendment in the 65th Street East
Planning District from SF to PK/OS and MCI. The proposed use for
the property is expansion of an existing business operated by
SYSCO Foods. Park/Open Space (PK/OS) category includes all
public parks, recreation facilities, greenbelts, flood plains,
and other designated open space and recreational land. Mixed
Commercial and Industrial (MCI) category provides for a mixture
of commercial and industrial uses to occur. Acceptable uses are
commercial or mixed commercial and industrial. A Planned Zoning
District is required if the use is mixed commercial and
industrial.
EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING:
The majority of the property requested is currently zoned R-2
Single Family & MF6 Multi -Family and is approximately 2.1 acres
in size. A mix of industrial and commercial land uses lies to
the south and west of the property. A few residences are mixed
in with the previously uses to the south of SYSCO Foods. A
large area of homes are to the east and north. SYSCO Foods is
separated from the uses to the north by the Union Pacific
Railroad track.
Neighboring areas to the north are zoned R-2 Single Family and
C-3 General Commercial. The properties to the east are zoned R-
2 Single Family, and MF6 Multifamily. The areas south of the
SYSCO property are zoned I-2 Light Industrial, C-3 General
Commercial, and R-2 Single family. Areas to the west are zoned
I-2 light Industrial and C-4 Open Display Commercial.

FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS:
The property in question lies near a Mixed Commercial and
Industrial (MCI) land use area that extends to the south and
west. The neighboring property to the north and east is Single
Family Residential (SF) .
February 20, 1996, a small area of Commercial (C) changed to
Suburban Office (SO) and Mixed Use (MX) on Geyer Springs Road
near the intersection of Forbing Road. June 4, 1996, a
Commercial (C) area was changed to Industrial (I) on Forbing
Road west of the Geyer Springs intersection.
MASTER STREET PLAN:
Geyer Springs Road is shown as a minor arterial on the plan.
Battle Street is shown on the Master Street Plan map as a local
street. Frozen Road is a private drive serving SYSCO Foods.
PARKS:
There are no parks shown on the master parks plan close enough
to be effected by a land use change at this site.
BACKGROUND:
SYSCO Foods is south of the Union Pacific Railroad with
residential uses to the north of the railroad tracks and east of
the SYSCO property. Intense commercial and industrial uses
occupy areas to the south and west along 65th Street. This site
is located further north than other industrial uses. This
proposed land use amendment would recognize existing plans for
expansion of the existing industrial use. The proposed PK/OS
land use area can create a transition area between the
industrial land uses and the residential land uses. The
property located in the area of the proposed PK/OS area is
heavily wooded and abuts the residential area to the east.
CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN:
None.
