Crockett Applicant: Same Location: 5521 Mabelvale Pike Request: Rezone from 11R-2" Single Family to 11C-3' General Commercial Purpose: Commercial Uses Size: 0.54 acres + Existing Use: Single Family Residence SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Church, Zoned "R-2" South - Commercial, Zoned "C-3" East - Single Family, Zoned 11R-2" West - Commercial, Zoned 11C-3" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The request is to rezone the property in question to "C-3" for some type of commercial use. No plans or specific uses have been submitted. The site has "C-3" zoning to the south and to the west across Mabelvale Pike and is just a'short distance from University Avenue. Because of the property's location on Mabelvale Pike, it.appears that it is no longer viable for some type of residential development and more suited for a commercial use. To the north, there is a church which probably has a long-term commitment to the location so that should preclude any further commercial zoning to the north. To the east, the adjacent property use is single family but on higher ground, so that should minimize any impacts that the proposed zoning could have on that piece of ground and establish the zoning line. Considering the use to the north and the grade difference between the Mabelvale Pike frontage and the properties on Geyer Springs, this site should define the extent of the commercial zoning on the east side of Mabelvale Pike. In the final analysis, the tract has a stronger relationship with the commercial properties to the west and south. September 25, 1984 Item No. 5 - Continued 2. The site has a small residential structure on the north end with the remaining portion being vacant. The property is lower on the south side than it is on the north and slopes up from west to east. 3. Mabelvale Pike is identified as a minor arterial which requires 80 feet of right-of-way. The existing right-of-way is only 60 feet so dedication of additional right-of-way will be required. 4. There have been adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues associated with this request. 6. There is no documented history on the site. 7. With the zoning pattern that is in place along this segment of Mabelvale Pike and the property's location, staff supports the request. The site is more removed from the uses to the north and east than it is from what is occurring to the west and south. This is primarily due to the use on the north and the grade difference between Mabelvale Pike and Geyer Springs. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors in attendance. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the application as filed. The vote - 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. September 25, 1984 Item No. 5 - Z-4307 Owner: John D.
