Staff is now proposing a Land Use Plan amendment in the 1-430 Planning District from Office to Commercial. This site did not develop as Community Shopping. The Office and Commercial categories would better represent the services that are now being provided at this site. The applicant has requested the related zoning and land use items be deferred until the October 30, 2008 meeting. Staff is supportive of this request and recommends this item for deferral until that time. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 18, 2008) This item was placed on the consent agenda for deferral to the October 30, 2008 hearing at the request of the applicant. By a vote of 6 for and 0 against the consent agenda was approved. STAFF UPDATE: EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING: This area is currently zoned C-2, 0-3, C-3 and PCD Planned Commercial Development. It is currently occupied by a convenience store with gas pumps, a new shopping center fronting Kanis, a Lexus car dealership, and a large office complex. North of this application is zoned Open Space to buffer the commercial uses from the R-2, 0-1, and 0-3 uses along Kanis Road. South and west of this amendment is zoned 0-3 General Office for a large office park complex. East of the amendment is zoned 0-2 for two hotels, a hospital, two banks and a nonconforming restaurant. October 30, 2008 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: F (Cont.) FILE NO.: LU08-11-02A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS: This area has been shown on the Land Use Plan as Community Shopping since Ordinance 17,951 was approved in March 1999. This amendment was the result of an overall study along the Kanis Corridor from Shackleford to Chenal Parkway. South is shown as Suburban Office, west is shown as Office, north is shown as Park/Open Space and Office, and east is shown as Office. MASTER STREET PLAN: Kanis and Shackleford Roads are both Minor Arterials on the Master Street Plan. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on these streets since they are Minor Arterials. These streets may require dedication of right-of- way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. BICYCLE PLAN: There are no bike routes shown in this immediate vicinity. PARKS: According to the Master Parks Plan, this area is within eight blocks of a city park or open space. A strip of Open Space is zoned along the northern boundary of this amendment. HISTORIC DISTRICTS: There are no city recognized historic districts that would be affected by this amendment. CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN: This area is covered by the John Barrow Neighborhood Plan. Their Business and Commercial Goal states: "To enhance the climate directed towards encouraging new businesses and commercial establishments to located in the area as well as retention of existing businesses." 2 October 30, 2008 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: F (Cont. ANALYSIS: LE NO.: LU08-11-02A This application was initiated by City Planning Staff as a direct result of LU08-11-02 being filed for the southeast corner of Shackleford and Kanis Roads in an effort to update the Future Land Use Plan for the area. The two amendments to the plan in this application are considered by Staff to be a 'clean up' of the plan to recognize existing conditions. Staff reviewed the surrounding area and feels this area should be amended to Commercial and Office on the plan to represent the existing and probable future uses. The southwest corner of Kanis and Shackleford Roads was amended from Mixed Office Commercial to Community Shopping in March of 1999 as part of a large amendment package along the Kanis Corridor. This was changed to Community Shopping to recognize an existing C-2 Shopping Center zone in anticipation of further intensification of this area. This area has since developed into an office park with commercial uses lining Shackleford and Kanis Roads, therefore, this area would be better shown on the Land Use Plan as Commercial on the eastern half which faces Shackleford and as Office along Shackleford West Boulevard where the office park has developed. Over the last several years the Community Shopping area has develop with uses better represented by different Land Use Plan classifications. The western section has developed with an office building and planned hotel. The location of the remaining large undeveloped land, at the Centerview — West Shackleford intersection, makes its future development likely to also be office in nature. A better reflection of the current and future likely uses of the western half of the Community Shopping would be Office. The eastern half of the Community Shopping area, along Shackleford Road has development with some retail and auto replaced commercial uses. The remaining undeveloped land is along Kanis Road and has commercial Land Use and Zoning to the north. A better representation on the Land Use Plan for this land would be Commercial, more closely reflecting the actual and future uses of the land. The 1999 amendment recognized that this area does need some Community Shopping, but the Community Shopping type development has occurred further south along Shackleford. This location would be best represented by Office for the western half, both sides of West Shackleford Road at Centerview; and Commercial along Shackleford Road and at the intersection with Kanis Road. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: Sandpiper and John Barrow. Staff has received no comments from area residents. 9 October 30, 2008 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: F (Cont.) FILE NO.: LU08-11-02A STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff believes the change is appropriate. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 30, 2008) The item was placed on the consent agenda for Approval. By a vote of 9 for and 0 against the consent agenda was approved. 4 Riis ��_-
