FACTUAL INFORMATION
Item 1
November 11, 1980
1. NEED OR DEMAND
The owner has an existing industrial use on the
property which is now nonconforming. He wishes for it
to become conforming.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH MUNICIPAL PLANS
The Suburban Development Plan shows this property for
future single family attached residential use.
3. EFFECT ON ENVIRONS
Since the use exists, there is no anticipation of
adverse environmental impacts.
4. NEIGHBORHOOD POSITION
Neighboring owners in Candlewood Subdivision are known
to be concerned about this proposed rezoning, but no
specific concerns have been expressed to staff.
5. PUBLIC SERVICES
No adverse comments have been received.
6. UTILITIES/EFFECT ON
No adverse comments have been received.
7. EFFECT ON FINANCES
No particular financial impact is expected.
8. LEGAL/REASONABLE
The property abuts a large tract of "C-3" General
Commercial zoning to the north. The surrounding land
uses are a combination of commercial, office and
industrial. The uses in the area are in conflict with
the Suburban Development Plan, but all predate that
plan's adoption.

Item No. 1 - Continued
9. STANDARDS OF QUALITY
No standards have been addressed.
10. TRAFFIC AND RIGTIT-OF-WAY
Highway 10 is a major arterial on the Master Street
Plan. Additional right-of-way will be required, and
the applicant has agreed to provide the necessary
easement deeds.
ANALYSIS:
The property is occupied by a nonconforming industrial use,
and the surrounding area is heavily used for commercial
purposes. The Suburban Development Plan shows the area to
be devoted to residential use in the future. Since the plan
has been adopted, one must assume its validity as a guide
for zoning decisions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Suburban Development Plan be
amended to reflect the movement of the proposed commercial
area eastward to the location around Highway 10 and
Candlewood Drive, thereby eliminating the commercial shown
at the intersection of Highway 10 with the proposed West
Belt Road. Further, Staff recommends approval of the "C-3"
zoning as requested by the applicant.
COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present and there were no objectors.
After a brief discussion, the Commission moved to app
rove
the application as amended for "C-3" General Commercial
zoning on a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
The Commission also moved to recommend to the Board of
Directors a plan amendment to coincide with this zoning
proposal. That motion was passed: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2
absent.
