Vaught Same 14711 Cantrell Road (east of Taylor Loop Road) Rezone from "R-2" Single Family to "C-3" General Commercial Family Medical Clinic and Restaurant 1.0 acre Grocery Store SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Zoned "C-3" South - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" East - Church, Zoned "R-2" West - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. This property is the location of the existing Country Store on Highway 10 just east of Taylor Loop Road. The proposal is to rezone the site to 11C-3" to allow a medical clinic and a commercial use. The existing store has been in place for a number of years and has been a nonconforming use since being annexed into the City in 1979. Being located on an arterial in an area where there are other nonresidential uses, the proposal appears to be appropriate for the site. The property is directly across Highway 10 from a "C-3" tract. The rezoning of the property in question should have very little impact, if any, on the surrounding neighborhood. The site is approximately one acre in size, and future expansion or new construction should not present any problems. 2. The site is flat and has three structures on it. 3. Engineering reports that 50 feet of right-of-way from the centerline and boundary street improvements will be required for Highway 10. January 29, 1985 Item No. 6 - Continued 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. The property was annexed into the City in 1979. The neighborhood's position on commercial rezonings in the area is well documented. Staff has not received any comments regarding this specific request. With previous proposals, there have been peititons both in support and against commercial zonings in the area. 7. The property is covered by the Suburban Development Plan which was amended by the City Board of Directors in November 1984, to identify the intersection of Highway 10 and Taylor Loop Road for commercial development. The property in question is the eastern boundary of that commercial node. Because of the recent amendment, staff supports the request. The Suburban Development Plan initially showed the area for commercial use, but was amended to multifamily when the commercial location was adjusted further to the east to accommodate rezoning.
