No specific plans have been submitted describing how the property is to be used if the zoning is granted. The owner has indicated that the property is no longer viable for residential use because of being located on Mabelvale Cutoff which has a heavy traffic flow. The owner plans to dispose of the property, but feels that cannot be accomplished being zoned for residential use. The owner's perception of the location is that it could be used for a small office or day-care center. 2. The site is a long narrow tract with one single family residence on it. 3. Some improvements have been made to Mabelvale Cutoff west of the intersection with Chicot. The improvements terminate at a point east of this property. The existing right-of-way is deficient for a minor arterial so dedication of additional right-of-way will be required. March 27, 1984 Item No. 10 - 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 documented neighborhood position. The property was annexed to the City as part of the South Central Island. 7. The Suburban Development Plan does not identify this location for nonresidential uses. Commercial or office zoning should be restricted to the Chicot/Mabevale Cutoff intersection with the existing "C-3" line being the extent of nonresidential zoning west of the intersection. This land use pattern is recommended by the plan for the area. Allowing a nonresidential rezoning beyond this point would lead to the stripping out of Mabelvale Cutoff and be difficult to establish a zoning line if this request is granted. The "R-2" zoning does not restrict the property entirely to single family use because a day-care center is permitted as a conditional use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the "O-1" request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was not present. There were several objectors present. William Harrison spoke against the request and asked that the property remain residential. He was very concerned that the lot could not accommodate the needed parking for a nonresidential use. After some discussion, a motion was made to recommend approval of the request as filed. The motion failed for lack of an affirmative vote. The vote - 0 ayes, 10 noes and 1 absent. The request was denied.
