The requested rezoning is from "R-2" to "C-3" to establish a conforming use on the property because there is an antique shop on it now. The existing use will continue. The site is in the vicinity of Highway 10 and Taylor Loop Road intersection which has recently been identified as a commercial location along the Highway 10 corridor. The City recently, in late 1984, amended the Suburban Development Plan to show the Highway 10 and Taylor Loop Road intersection for neighborhood commercial uses. This includes land on the north and south sides of Highway 10 with the property in question being within the designated area. Prior to that action, the property was identified for multifamily development. The requested rezoning is compatible with the immediate vicinity because of the plan and some of the existing uses. This section of Highway 10 has a mix of residential and nonresidential uses. January 29, 1985 Item No. 2 - Continued 2. The site is vacant and occupied with a single family residence and accessory structure. 3. The survey of the property shows 30 feet of right-of-way from the centerline for Highway 10. Dedication of additional right-of-way will be necessary to meet the standards for an arterial. Required right-of-way dedication is 50 feet from the centerline. Boundary street improvements are also required for Highway 10. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. The neighborhood's position relative to rezoning changes in this area is well documented. The property was annexed to the City in 1978. In 1981, a rezoning application was filed for "C-3." The request was Supported by the Planning Commission but denied by the Board of Directors. At the Planning Commission Public Hearing, residents spoke both in favor of and against the request. Also, a petitiori was submitted supporting the rezoning in 1981. 7. Because of the recent amendment to the Suburban Development Plan identifying the intersection for commercial use, the staff supports the request to "C--3." It should be pointed that outdoor display is not permitted in "C-3" and, if that is occurring on the site now, it will continue to be a nonconforming use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Betty Saugey, was present. There were three objectors present. Staff stated for the record that two letters had been submitted in opposition to the request. Ms. Saugey spoke briefly and supported the rezoning. Dr. Robert McGrew spoke in apposition and said he was concerned with traffic flow and the future development along Highway 10. There was a long discussion about the Highway 10 corridor and the plan. Phyllis McGrew addressed the Commission and said she was opposed to the rezoning. She questioned the location of commercial nodes along January 29, 1985 Item No. 2 - Continued Highway 10 and their appropriateness. After additional comments, the Commission voted on the "C-3" request as filed. The vote: 7 ayes, 0 noes, 3 absent and 1 abstention (William Ketcher). The request was approved.
