The applicant's property lies in the area covered by the
Stagecoach/Dodd section of the Pecan Lake, Stagecoach/Dodd,
Westwood Neighborhood Action Plan. The neighborhood action
plan states in the introduction of Zoning and Land Use Goals
and Objectives that the neighborhood requests "... that non-
residential developments congregate in the area bounded by
I-430, Shackleford, Col. Glenn, and David O. Dodd Roads."
The zoning and land use goal states: "maintain and encourage
single-family and low density residential developments in
the residential area of the neighborhood, while encouraging
responsible non-residential development in areas currently
reserved for such uses on the Future Land Use Plan."
Objective #1 states: "Protect the residential integrity of
the neighborhood by maintaining adequate separation or
sufficient buffering between residential and non-residential
uses." The plan also includes the following action
statement: "Encourage new non-residential development west
of Shackleford Road and north of David O. Dodd Road.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant's property is buffered from residential areas.
The requested change maintains the transition between the
intense non-residential uses along Col. Glen Road and the
less intense residential uses along David O. Dodd Road. The
requested change is also buffered by the transition from
intense uses along Col. Glenn Road and the less intense uses
on W. 36t" Street. The proposed changes also fits as a
transition from the less intense Commercial uses near the
I-430 Col. Glenn Interchange and the mgre intense Light
Industrial uses to the east. I-430 acts as a barrier and
