The proposed use is office, and in the future, some multifamily development. The property is currently occupied by a nonconforming office use, and it is the owner's plan to continue that as the site's primary use. Baseline Road west of Chicot Road is best identified as having as a mix land use pattern in the immediate vicinity of this property and the land uses are single family, mobile home park, commercial, office and industrial. The existing zoning pattern is similar. Office use is appropriate for this location, but long-term residential use is questionable. Long-range plans for the area envision industrial and warehousing as primary uses north of Baseline Road. 2. The property is flat and occupied by a single structure. There are no unique physical characteristics featured on the property. 3. Baseline is shown as a principal arterial on the Master Street Plan. Dedication of additional right-of-way will be required because the existing right-of-way is deficient. March 27, 1984 Item No. 11 - Continued 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies at this tune. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. The property was annexed to the City in 1979 as part of the large southwest/I-30 annexation. 7. The Suburban Development Plan identifies a large area west of the railroad tracks and north of Baseline for industrial uses. The commercial development is shown to be east of the railroad tracks to Chicot Road. The industrial uses and zoning in the area are working and that type of development pattern should be continued. The "I-2" District permits office uses and that is the zoning that staff supports on this location. The "C-1" classification was requested because it permits both office and multifamily uses. If the owner wishes to pursue some "MF" use for the property, that can be addressed at a later time once more definite plans have been made. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends "I-2" as being more appropriate for the property in question.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was not present, but the owner, Kris Muradian, was in attendance. There were no objectors present. Mr. Muradian spoke in support of the request. He stated that he no longer had plans for multifamily development but would construct a building for office and retail uses. Mr. Muradian said that the "C-1" reclassification would permit both of the proposed uses and the "I-2" district would not. The Commission discussed the case at length. A motion was made to recommend approval of the request as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 6 ayes, 3 noes, 1 absent and 1 abstention (James Summerlin).
