FACTUAL INFORMATION
November 27, 1979
Item 2
NEED AND/OR DEMAND
The owner, Union National Bank, is required by federal
bank regulations to divest itself of this property
prior to expiration of a three year period between its
acquisition and its use by the bank for the branching
purposes if such use is not forthcoming within the
three year period. The bank has a purchaser with an
intended industrial use, and the zoning is a part of
the requirements for final closure of the sale.
COMPATIBILITY WITH MUNICIPAL PLANS
While there is significant residential development to
the east of the Lindsey Road intersection, the area to
the west has been designated for nonresidential
development. This application appears appropriate and
compatible.
EFFECT ON ENVIRONS
No adverse environmental effects are expected.
NEIGHBORHOOD POSITION
No neighborhood opposition has been received by staff.
PUBLIC SERVICES/EFFECT ON
No adverse comments have been received.
UTILITIES/EFFECT ON
No adverse comments have been received.
EFFECT ON PUBLIC FINANCES
The financial development of this property will
generate some fiscal benefits and should not produce
any adverse impacts towards the City financial
capability.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/REASONABLENESS
The property abuts "I" zoning and development to the
north. East Roosevelt Road is a principle arterial on
the master street plan and can handle the traffic from
the proposed use.

9. STANDARDS OF QUALITY
No standards of quality have been addressed.
10. TRAFFIC AND STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY
As a principle arterial 100' of right-of-way is
required for East Roosevelt Road. Staff estimates that
only 60' of right-of-way is now existing; therefore,
the applicant will be required to provide an easement
deed for 201. The applicant has indicated a
willingness to provide the needed right-of-way.
ANALYSIS
The proposed use and zoning are appropriate for the area.
The street serving the property is of sufficient design to
handle the expected traffic. The one negative consideration
is the existence of the levee across the rear portion of
this tract. Staff is opposed to the rezoning of lands
within areas prone to flooding.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval with the condition that only that
portion of the property north of the levee be rezoned to "I"
Light Industrial.
COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present and stated his client's
willingness to accept the provisions within the staff
recommendation. There were no objectors. After a brief
discussion, the Commission moved to approve the application
as amended to limit the zoning to the north side of the
levee. The motion passed -.11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
