White Location: 8212 Frenchman's Lane Request: Rezone from "I-2" Light Industrial to "C-3" General Commercial Purpose: Day -Care Center Size: 0.64 acres Existing Use: Day -Care Center SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Zoned "I-2" South - Church, Zoned "R-2" East - Office and Commercial, Zoned 11I-2" West - Multifamily, Zoned "I-2" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The present use of the property is a day-care center, and that is the proposed use also. The day-care center is planning to expand by adding an additional building in the rear and being a nonconforming use this cannot be done until the lot is properly zoned. The property is located south of I-30 and one block of Geyer Springs Road in the "I-2" area where the principal land use is commercial. There is also a large multifamily project directly to the west and an office use across the street. The most recent development proposal for the area is a hotel. North of the tract zoning is "I-2," but the land use is commercial and multifamily. The existing "C-3" zoning in the neighborhood is just to the southeast of this property. It extends from Geyer Springs Road to Frenchman's Lane. Because of the existing development pattern, reclassifying this property to "C-3" should not create any problems for the area. 2. The site is flat and occupied by a single building and parking area. October 30, 1984 Item No. 12 - Continued 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street Plan issues associated with this request. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. The area was annexed into the City in 1959 and has been zoned "I-2" for a number of years. There is no documented neighborhood position on the site. 7. With the use in place and the surrounding land use and development, staff supports the requested rezoning. The area is identified on the Suburban Development Plan as a community shopping district and "C-3" is a more appropriate zoning classification for that type of area. Currently there is a uniform line south of this tract separating the "I-2" from the "R-2" and "C-3" areas. Should this request be approved, that line would be somewhat askewed, but that should be of little consequence. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. The Commission voted 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent to recommend approval of the request as filed.
