There is currently one structure on the property that is being used for offices. The proposal is to rezone the property to permit a beauty shop. At this time, it is uncertain whether the entire building or only a portion will be used for the beauty shop. The property was rezoned from "R-2" to "0-3" in January 1980. The general feeling at that time was that the "0-3" zoning would act as a buffer between the residential uses to the west and the more intensely zoned property to the east. This section of Shackleford from Beverly Hills to Mara Lynn is zoned for office use and has created a buffer for the residential neighborhood to the west. The proposed zoning would break the existing zoning pattern and establish a commercial location on the west side of Shackleford. Currently, the commercial zoning is restricted to the east side of Shackleford north of Beverly Hills. The office zoning is working and should remain the most intense classification at this location. Allowing a commercial rezoning is inappropriate and not compatible with the west side of Shackleford. March 27, 1984 Item No. 2 - Continued 2. The site is relatively flat with one building and paved areas for parking. There are no unique physical characteristics associated with the site. 3. There are no right-of-way issues or Master Street Plan requirements. Shackleford Road has been upgraded to the proper standards. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies at this time. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. The site was rezoned from "R-2" to 110-3" in January 1980, and there were no objectors present according to the Planning Commission's record for that meeting. It appears that there will be some opposition to the "C-1" rezoning. 7. The staff does not support this request and recommends that the existing zoning remain as is. The office use appears to be compatible with the residential neighborhood and has had a minimal effect on the area. Office uses should continue to be the most intense nonresidential land use on the west side of Shackleford and act as a buffer for the residential neighborhood as was the intent when the property was rezoned to "0-3." Certain uses permitted under the "C-1" classification could create undesirable impacts for the neighborhood. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was not present but was represented by Delbert Spears. There were no objectors present. Mr. Spears spoke in support of the request and suggested that the beauty shop was a less intense use than two of the uses in the existing office zoning. He presented petitions from some of the residents stating that they were not opposed to the beauty shop. The Commission discussed the case at length. The discussion centered around a possible Zoning Ordinance amendment to allow a beauty or barber shop as a conditional use permit in the "0-3" district. The Commission instructed the staff to include this item in the current Zoning Ordinance amendment package. A motion was made to defer the item to the next appropriate meeting, May 15th, to permit the applicant to file a conditional use permit. The motion passed by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
