Applicant: Same Location: 6705 Geyer Springs Road Request: Rezone from "R-2" Single Family to "C-3' General Commercial Purpose: Commercial Uses Size: 1.4 acres + Existing Use: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Single Family and Office, Zoned "R-2," 11C-3" and "I-2" South - Office and Commercial, Zoned "C-3" and "I-2" East - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" and "C-1" West - Industrial, Zoned "I-2" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The property' in question is one of the few remaining "R-2" tracts on Geyer Springs Road south of West 65th. The proposal is to rezone the land for commercial use, but no specific plans have been submitted. The site has "C-3" and "I-2" zoning to the north .and south, 11I-2" to the west across Geyer Springs and "C-1"-to the east. On the east side of Geyer Springs between Big Oak Lane and Browning Road, a majority of the parcels are zoned "C-3" except for this one and two tracts at Browning Road. Based on this trend and the overall development pattern along Geyer Springs, the requested rezoning is compatible with the area. Because of the zoning that is occurring, it appears that Geyer Springs will have a mix of office, commercial and industrial development with the existing residential uses and lots being phased out over a period of years. 2. The site is vacant and flat. There are no unique physical characteristics. 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street Plan issues. September 25, 1984 Item No. 7 - Continued 4. As of this writing, there have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies. 5. There are no legal issues attendant to this request. 6. There is no documented history on the site. 7. The requested rezoning is in keeping with the previous zoning actions and maintaining the land use pattern along Geyer Springs Road. This site's depth is much greater than the other "C-3" tracts fronting Geyer Springs, but that should be of little consequence because it abuts "I-2" on the south and "C-l" on the east. There are two "R-2" lots on the north side, but they are abutting "C-1" to the east and "1-2" to the west. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. A resident, Frances Myers, abutting the property was also present. Mrs. Myers was concerned with the types of uses that were permitted in the "C-3" District and what was being proposed for the site. Staff read some of the uses listed under 11C-3," and a representative of Don Parks, Inc., indicated that there was no specific use designated at this time. Mrs. Myers did not object to the request. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning as filed. The vote - 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
