mailing to over 140 property owners and the same neighborhood association was
mailed on June 22, Staff has received less than half a dozen contacts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
This package of amendments is designed to make the Future Land Use Plan
more representative of current and likely mid-term future uses for this area. Staff
believes the changes are appropriate.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 19, 2012)
Walter Malone, Planning Staff reminded the Commission that this was the third
or fourth area to be reviewed by Staff in an effort to keep the Land Use Plan up
to date. There are nine areas of change that recognized the existing use of the
land, these are areas 1, 2, 3, 9, 13, 15, 20, 21 and 22. There are an additional
four areas (areas 4, 7, 11 and 12) that are not developed but zoned something
other than single-family and the change would make the Plan consistent with
the existing zoning. Mr. Malone asked if anyone wanted a presentation on any
of these areas. With no request, Mr. Malone proceeded to give a short
presentation on each of the remaining proposed changes.
Mr. Malone reviewed areas 5 and 6 (the area between 1-430 and Shackleford
Road, north of 36th Street) that are to go to Mixed Use. He reviewed what was
already there and what Mixed Use (MX) allows. This is a more likely future
development pattern for this area. Area 8 is either side of Shackleford Road,
north of Colonel Glenn Road. This area is developing and redeveloping as
mini -warehouse and office showroom types of development. The Service
Trades District designation is more consistent with this pattern.
Area 10 is south of Colonel Glenn Road from Brodie Creek to Stagecoach Road.
This area is a mix of single-family houses and businesses. The new designation
is for Mixed Use. The Planned Development process should help protect the
residents that wish to remain while allowing for a more orderly conversion to
non-residential and mixed uses that has already started in this area.
Area 14 is primarily wooded land south of Baseline Road, either side of Sibley
Hole Road. The recommendation is to move the Mixed Office Commercial land
north to Baseline Road, with Service Trades remaining north of Baseline Road.
It is believed that this is a more likely development pattern for that area.
Mr. Malone noted that at least one of the property owners in this area had
contacted staff and agreed that the change was closer to what they envisioned
for their property's use in the future. Area 16 is also mostly undeveloped with
one older homestead. The revision would reduce the amount of Light Industrial

to that already zoned for that purpose. (This is an area that had started to
develop as an industrial park but has seen no development for decades).
Area 17 is east of the 65th Industrial Park. Either side of 65th Street, east of
Geyer Springs Road is shown as Industrial but is used for auto related
businesses and mini -warehouse with a zoning of Light Industrial. The Light
Industrial Land Use designation is more appropriate for the show and long term
use of this area. Further to the south along Geyer Springs Road between
Myerson and Arbor are apartments, three office and retail buildings and a large
vacant tract. With the existing use pattern and size of the tracts, a Mixed Use
designation would be more appropriate than the Industrial with some Commercial
that is currently shown on the Plan. The third area within area 17 is along
Forbing Road, east of Geyer Springs Road. This is a single family home, office
and auto related businesses on smaller lots. Commercial rather than Industrial is
a more appropriate designation for the uses and likely future uses (in part due to
the size of the parcels).
Areas 18 and 19 are Mixed Commercial Industrial. East of Battle is a Package
Plant and the change would be to Light Industrial. West of Battle are auto
related, packing, and warehouse businesses with a barber college. The change
in this area would be to Service Trades District, which is already in place south of
65th Street. Area 23 is also a Mixed Commercial Industrial area along Interstate
30. There are a variety of uses in this area including motorcycle sales, appliance
sales, carpet sales, offices and a trucking firm. With the one-way access road,
retail or high oriented businesses are less likely and a more likely future
development pattern is Service Trades District for this area..
The final area is area 24. It is at the Shackleford Road -Stagecoach Road
intersection and is shown for Neighborhood Commercial. There are two long
term uses: a salvage or you -pull -it business and a motor motel that is used as
apartments. The other corners of this intersection are Service Trades District
and Staff believes this is a more appropriate and likely future use for this area as
well.
Mr. Malone noted that there would be no zoning change with this amendment.
However, the amendment may open new possibilities for re -zoning of land by
various property owners.
There were no questions and a motion was made to approve the amendment
package as recommended by staff. By a vote of 9 for, 0 against and 2 absent
the amendment was approved.
