ITEM N FILE NO.: L -12- l
Name: Land Use Plan Amendment - 65th Street West
Planning District
Location: Stagecoach and Shackleford
Recruest: Single Family and Neighborhood Commercial to Service
Trades District and Park/Open Space.
Source: Harold Joyner
PROPOSAL / REQUEST:
Land Use Plan amendment in the 65th Street West Planning District
from Single Family to Service Trades District. Service Trades
District provides for a selection of office, warehousing, and
industrial park activities that primarily serve other office
service or industrial businesses. The district is intended to
allow support services to these businesses and to provide for
uses with an office component. A Planned zoning District is
required for any development not wholly office.
Prompted by this Land Use Amendment request, the Planning Staff
expanded the area of review to include two areas. The first area
is the existing auto salvage yard across Stagecoach Road. The
second area is and area to the west of the site between the
existing STD area and the proposed STD area. It is thought that
the additional area to the west would make the boundaries more
logical and the existing salvage yard to the east would be
recognized. In addition, the staff has proposed a 50, Park/Open
Space (PK/OS) strip to the south and east as a demarcation line
to prohibit any further intrusion into the existing neighborhood.
CURRENT LAND CTSE AND ZONING:
The property is currently zoned R2 and is approximately 1.75±
acres in size. The site is surrounded by R2 zoning shown as
Single Family on the Land Use Plan except to the north where an
area of C1 is shown as Neighborhood Commercial on the Plan. The
Salvage yard to the east is also shown as Neighborhood Commercial
(it is zoned R2).
RECENT AMENDMENTS:
January 19, 1998, A change from Single Family to Office on
Colonel Glenn west of the intersection of Asher and Stagecoach
(currently before Hoard of Directors).
December 1, 1998, A change was made from Suburban Office to Mixed
Use at the southeast corner of I-430 and Colonel Glenn.

ITEM NO.: 3 (Cont.) FILE NO. LU99-12-01
MASTER STREET PLAN:
Stagecoach is shown as Principal Arterial on the plan and
Shackleford is shown as a minor arterial. Stagecoach is a two
lane without curbs and gutters and is typical of a rural highway
in the state. There are no plans at this time to widen this
section of Stagecoach.
PARKS:
This site is not shown on the Master Parks Plan. There are not
any existing parks close to the site.
BACKGROUND•
Recent petitions for changing the Land Use Plan in this area have
met with resistance from neighborhood groups. The applications
for the expansion of the block plant on Brodie Lane, the mortgage
company at the David O. Dodd and Stagecoach intersection, and the
STD area bounded by Herndon, Lanehart and Stagecoach were all
denied last year. These sites are all within three/quarters of a
mile from this site towards the east and southeast.
Stagecoach Road does have several non -conforming commercial uses
along this section, but still maintains a rural flavor. The
homes are generally in good repair and sit on large lots. With
no plans for widening Stagecoach at this time, in effect, this
means that there will be no change for at least five years. The
site is currently used as a single family residence.
Staff feels that this is a fragile area and that constant
nibbling will seal the fate of the street to be totally non-
residential. This area is slated to be included in a
neighborhood plan starting in 1999.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations:
Meadowcliff/Brookwood NA, South Brookwood NA, Pecan Lake POA and
Stagecoach/ Dodd. Staff has received 1 comments from area
residents, which was in support. Staff has not received any
comments from neighborhood associations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change is not appropriate at this time.
