Williams and Jones Company
Robert M. Brown
Bowman Road Future Extension
North of Markham
Rezone from "MF -24" Multifamily
to "C-3" General Commercial
Commercial Shopping Center
1.96 acres +
Existing Use: Vacant
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North
- Vacant, Zoned
"C-3"
South
- Vacant, Zoned
"C-3"
East
- Multifamily,
Zoned "MF -24"
West
- Vacant, Zoned
"C-3"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The proposed use is a commercial shopping center but no
specific plans have been submitted. The tract has
"C-3" zoning on three sides with a large multifamily
project to the east which is on higher ground. The
property in question has a better land use relationship
to the existing "C-3" tracts because the land slopes up
to the east where the apartment project is located.
This change in topography does create a break in the
land use pattern and affords this site better potential
for commercial uses. This property is lower than the
existing multifamily development and does appear to be
suitable for commercial uses.
2. The site is vacant and flat.
3. Dedication of right-of-way will be required for the
future extension of Bowman Road which is classified as
a minor arterial. The recommended right-of-way for a
minor arterial is 801.

Item No. 4 -- Continued
4. There have been no adverse comments received from the
reviewing agencies at this time.
5. There are no legal issues.
6. There is no neighborhood position or history on the
site.
7. Because of the way this property is situated and its
poor relationship to the existing "MF -24" development,
it appears to be more suited for some type of
commercial use. Also because of the "C-3" in place and
this tract having substantial frontage on the proposed
extension on Bowman Road, staff supports the rezoning.
Approval of this request will create a unified
commercial tract and a more desirable land use pattern.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present.
After a brief discussion, the Commission voted to recommend
approval of the application as filed. The vote: 9 ayes,
0 noes, 1 absent and 1 abstention (David Jones).
