D. LAND USE ELEMENT:
E
Planning Division: This request is located in Geyer Springs East Planning
District. The Land Use Plan shows Light Industrial (LI) for this property. The
Light Industrial category provides for light warehouse, distribution or storage
uses, and/or other industrial uses that are developed in a well -designed "park
like" setting. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from R-2 (Single Family
District) to 1-2 (Light Industrial district) to allow for future development of the site.
Master Street Plan: The East side of the property is Scott Hamilton Drive and it
is shown as a Minor Arterial 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 Scott Hamilton
Drive since it is a Minor Arterial. This street may require dedication of right-of-
way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: A Class II Bike Lane is shown along Scott Hamilton Drive. Bike
Lanes provide a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Ray and Clay Loetscher, owners of the 1.555 acre property located at 8420 Scott
Hamilton Drive, are requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family
District to 1-2" Light Industrial District. The property is located on the west side of
Scott Hamilton Drive, between Baseline Road and Interstate 30. The rezoning is
requested in order to develop the property for a day care center.
The property is currently undeveloped and partially wooded. The west half of the
property contains nature trees. The east portion of the property, along Scott
Hamilton Drive, is grass covered.
The property is located in an area of mixed zoning and uses. Undeveloped
property, zoned R-2 and 1-2, is located immediately to the north, with an office
warehouse development and a school located further north. A large apartment
complex is located to the northeast. A mobile home park and R-2 zoned property
are located to the south. Commercial and single family uses are located across
Scott Hamilton Drive to the east. Single family residences, along Community
Road, are located to the west.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Light Industrial (LI).
The requested 1-2 zoning does not require a change to the Land Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested 1-2 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The proposed rezoning represents a continuation of the 1-2 zoning
to the north, along the west side of Scott Hamilton Drive. The City's Future Land

FILE NO.: Z-9298 (Co
Use Plan designates this property and the property to the north as Light Industrial
(LI). The properties across Scott Hamilton Drive to the east are designated as
Commercial (C) and Office (0). The Land Use Plan shows the properties to the
south and west as Medium Density Residential (RM). The applicant proposes
to develop the site for a day care center. The new development will be required
to provide buffers and screening along the west and south property lines where
adjacent to residential zoning and uses. Many of the existing trees along
these property boundaries will be required to be preserved. Staff believes the
requested 1-2 zoning will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or
the general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-2 rezoning.
