PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The proposal is to utilize this narrow tract for the
expansion of the existing sign company to the west.
The site has "I-2" zoning on three sides with Base Line
Road being on the south. This is one of the few
remaining "R-2" tracts left in an area that has been
identified for industrial and warehouse uses.
2. The site is a vacant, narrow parcel. There are no
unique physical characteristics.
3. The Master Street Plan identifies Base Line Road as a
principal arterial. The existing right-of-way is only
50 feet, so dedication of additional right-of-way will
be required.
4. There have been no adverse comments from the reviewing
agencies at this time.
5. There are no legal issues.
6. The property was annexed in 1979 and came into the City
as "R-2."
