The owner intends to plat the property into two lots and sell this'part to another user. The Suburban Development Plan shows commercial uses near the intersections of Baseline and Chicot Roads and Baseline and Geyer Springs Roads, and those areas are zoned for commercial use. When this area was annexed, there were a number of nonconforming commercial and industrial uses which were taken in without the proper zoning. This was done because they were located in areas which were not appropriate to such uses. Staff is concerned that Baseline could be become one long commercial strip if this and others like it were zoned one at a time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial. October 12, 1982 Item No. 15 - Continued COMMISSION ACTION: (9-28-82) The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. The applicant showed pictures of the area and a map of zoning and land use, as well as a site plan proposed for the store being proposed. Ronnie Caveness, owner of Smackey's Doughnut Stores, discussed why he had chosen this site and talked about his various locational requirements, as well as building requirements. A neighbor, Hank Kelly, spoke for the application. The applicant emphasized that the property had been platted originally and was recorded as Kerr Commercial Plat, and that plans ultimately are to redevelop the entire tract. He stated that presently there is a mobile home sales lot on the property with approximately twelve to fifteen mobile homes on display and that there are twenty-six mobile homes in the park to the south. Another neighbor on the opposite side of Baseline voiced his support for the application. After a lengthy discussion, there was a motion to defer this item to the October 12 meeting to allow time for staff to review the Baseline corridor between Chicot and Geyer Springs Roads. The motion to defer passed: 6 ayes and 5 noes. COMMISSION ACTION: (10-12-82) Jim Lawson, of the Planning Staff, showed snaps of the existing land use and future land use plan along the Baseline corridor and discussed the issues involved. The plan maps suggest office use for the property in question in this application. After this discussion, the applicant talked about the potential for office use of the properties along Baseline Road and said, in his professional estimation, that there was no way that offices would be developed along Baseline because of its high traffic use and the potential for it being developed to a wider street standard, thereby making it more suitable for commercial use and less suitable for office use. He cited also the nature of the frontage which had only a few parcels large enough for office construction. The Planning Commission recognized that the "0-3" District permits a restaurant as a conditional use, and there was a lengthy discussion of the potential of zoning this property "0-3" General Office and then in attaining an application for a conditional use permit to allow the restaurant at this location, that is, to permit a restaurant without zoning the property commercial. The applicant and the buyer of the property asked a number of questions of the Planning October 12, 1982 Item No. 15 - Continued Commission members and staff, and finally it was determined that the applicant would amend the application to request "0-3" General Office, rather than the "C-3" General Commercial initially applied for. On this basis, the Planning Commission moved to approve "0-3" on the property, and the motion passed: 8 ayes, 1 no and 2 absent. The applicant plans to submit a conditional use permit application for the November 9 Planning Commission meeting.
