PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
No adversecomments have been received from any reviewing
agency concerning this request. Neighboring property owners
will oppose th,e requested zoning in significant numbers.
Staff knows of the existence of a petition which contains at
least forty signatures.
The Suburban Development Plan calls for this area to be used
for industrial development, including all the property east
of Mabelvale Pike as well. A commercial refrigeration
business is located on the property at the present time, and
the proposed zoning would bring the use into conformity with
the ordinance.
At the request of the Planning Commission, staff has
reevaluated this area within the Suburban Development Plan
and has determined that the neighbors are essentially
correct in that the area seems more appropriate for
residential use than the industrial use originally called
for in the Suburban Development Plan. As a part of this
application and carried as a later item on this agenda,
there is a recommendation for a major suburban development
plan change which would eliminate all of the industrial
zoning shown in and around this tract in favor of a
combination of single family and single family attached uses
for the vacant properties at this location. This change in

the plan, if adopted by the Planning Commission and
subsequently by the Board of Directors, will mean that this
application would not be compatible with the plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of the application on the assumption
that the plan change will be approved.
COMMISSION ACTION
The applicant was present, and there were several objectors.
A lengthy discussion involving the proposed plan change
dealing with this area on the Suburban Development Plan
ensued. Most of the discussion, in fact, revolved around
Item 19 on the Agenda, dealing with the plan change.
After the Planning Commission voted to recommend to the
Board of Directors that the plan be changed so that the
property previously shown for Industrial would now be shown
as Residential, the Commission moved to approve this
application as filed. The motion failed on a vote of 0 ayes
9 noes and 2 absent.
