RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval. Planning Commission meeting on September 30, 1999 (11-0-0 in favor). CITIZEN Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: PARTICIPATION MeadowcliffBrookwood N.A., Pecan Lake Property Owners Association, South Brookwood Ponderosa, Stagecoach - Dodd N.A., and Geyer Springs N.A. BACKGROUND The land use plan for the original application area and the expanded area is shown as Neighborhood Commercial. Office land uses lie to the north, while Service Trades District covers the area to the west and north. Directly to the east is a large area of Single Family. An area of Neighborhood Commercial lies directly to the southeast of the applicant's property. The property is currently zoned C-1 and is approximately 1.43+ acres in size. R-2 zoning surrounds much of the area. Exceptions include a strip of OS zoning to the north, and a PD- C directly to the south. The site of the amendment is currently a vacant, wooded tract. BACKGROUND CONTINUED Large tract residential and spots of commercial uses have occurred along this portion of Stagecoach Road resulting in low-density development. Large tracts of undeveloped land are found along Shackleford Road. This area of STD would be supportive of the Light Industrial areas to the north and to the southwest. There is an abundant supply of Neighborhood Commercial in the area at the present time, and should be adequate with the full build -out of Single Family in the area. FILE NO.: LU99-12-02 Name: Land Use Plan Amendment - 65th Street West Planning District Location: Northwest of Stagecoach and Shackleford Roads Request: Neighborhood Commercial to Service Trades District Source: Larry Reynolds PROPOSAL / REQUEST: Land Use Plan amendment in the 65th Street West Planning District from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Service Trades District (STD). STD 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 (PZD) is required for any development not wholly office. The applicant wishes to establish business equipment sales and service showroom. Prompted by this Land Use Amendment request, the Planning Staff expanded the area of review to include the entire NC area at the northwest corner of Stagecoach Road and Shackleford Road. It appeared illogical for Neighborhood commercial to lie in between Light Industrial and Service Trades District without having access to the intersection. With these changes, the entirety of the NC area would be eliminated. EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING: The property is currently zoned C-1 and is approximately 1.43+ acres in size. R-2 zoning surrounds much of the area. Exceptions include a strip of OS zoning to the north, and a PD -C directly to the south. The site of the amendment is currently a vacant, wooded tract. FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS: The land use plan for the original application area and the expanded area is shown as Neighborhood Commercial. Office (0) FILE NO: LU99-12-02 (Cont.) land uses lie to the north, while STD covers the area to the west and south. Directly to the east is a large area of SF. An area of NC lies directly to the southeast of the applicant's property. On March 16, 1999, a change was made from Single Family (SF) to STD and Park/Open Space (PK/OS) south of the proponent's property on the opposite side of Shackleford Road. On December 1, 1998 a change was made from Suburban Office (SO) to Mixed.Use (MX) at the southeast corner of I-430 and Kanis Road. On June 3, 1997, a change was made from NC to SF on Marigold Drive south of Kanis Road. MASTER STREET PLAN: Stagecoach Road (Highway 5) is designated as a principal arterial from West Baseline Road to University Avenue. A Class II bikeway is designated along Stagecoach Road from Brodie Creek to County Line Road. Shackleford Road is designated as a minor arterial from Markham Street to Stagecoach Road. A Class II bikeway is designated along Shackleford Road from 36th Street to Stagecoach Road. PARKS: There are no existing or proposed parks within one mile of the site. CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN: A neighborhood action plan is currently being prepared for the area. ANALYSIS: Large tract residential and spots of commercial uses have occurred along this portion of Stagecoach Road resulting in low- density development. Large tracts of undeveloped land are found along Shackleford Road. This area of STD would be supportive of the Light Industrial areas to the north and to the southwest. There is an abundant supply of Neighborhood Commercial in the area at the present time, and should be adequate with the full build -out of Single Family in the area. F4 FILE NO: LU99-12-02 (Cont.) NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: Meadowcliff/Brookwood N.A., Pecan Lake Property Owners Association, South Brookwood Ponderosa, Stagecoach - Dodd N.A., and Geyer Springs N.A. Staff has received no comments from area residents at the time of printing. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff believes the change is appropriate. STD uses will support the nearby Office and Light Industrial uses and also support a lower density of development in an area characterized by low densities.
