Existing Use:
Charles and Elizabeth Menard
Phillip Kaplan
Southeast Corner Rodney Parham
at Green Mountain Drive
Rezone from "R-2" Single Family

1 acre +
Shopping Center
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, Zoned "MF -24"
East - Cemetery, Zoned "R-2"
West - Apartments, Zoned "R-5"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
No adverse comments have been received from any reviewing
agency concerning this request. This property was developed
prior to its annexation into the City. It has been denied
commercial zoning several times in the past. Since the last
time it was considered, the property to the south has
changed from commercial to residential zoning.
Staff feels compelled to remain consistent with regard to
the request for commercial zoning, but staff understands
that an agreement has been reached between this property
owner and the Pleasant Valley Property Owners' Association
in which the Association has agreed to support the "C-2"
zoning requested.
As a practical matter, 11C-2" zoning on this property would
not make it any less nonconforming than it is at present.
The lot is less than the required five acres, and the
buildings do not meet the zoning setback requirements. If
commercial zoning is appropriate for this property, then the
proper 11C-1" Neighborhood Commercial zoning should be
applied.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
See Planning Considerations.
