East - Single family, zoned "R-2"
West - Vacant, zoned "0-3"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The issue before the Planning Commission is to rezone
1.3 acres on Natural Resources Drive from "0-2" to "0-1."
If the 110-1" reclassification is granted, it is the Staff's
understanding that the tract will be'replatted into two
lots, neither conforming to the minimum site area of two
acres for the 110-2" district. What is being proposed with
this application is consistent with what has occurred on the
property.to the south. Over the years, the land on the east
side of Natural Resources Drive between West Markham and the
State complex has been rezoned to 110-1" and platted into
small lots. This has created some desirable office tracts
that are compatible with the area.
Existing zoning in the general vicinity includes "R-2,"
"0-1," 110-2," 110-3," "C-3," "C-4" and PCD. The land use is
a mix of single family, office and commercial. Another use
found to the north is a major State complex that contains
several State agencies. The property in question abuts
single family on the east, the State land to the north and a
vacant parcel to the south. Across Natural Resources Drive
the land is vacant and zoned "0-3."

(Note: At the time of platting, a 25 foot buffer will be
required adjacent to the rear property line. The platted
buffer was required when the existing 110-1" to the south was
replatted.)
