McKay 1500 Aldersgate Road Rezone from PRD to 110-31- Office O-3"Office 0.8 acres Office SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Single family, zoned PRD South - Vacant, zoned PRD East - Vacant, zoned "MF -18" West Interstate right-of-way, zoned "0-3" STAFF ANALYSIS: The request is to rezone a small parcel adjacent to 1-430 from PRD to "0-3" for an office use. The property is located on the east side of 1-430 and approximately 1200 feet south of Kanis Road. Currently, there is a single family residence on the site that is being utilized for office space. Zoning in the area is made up of "R-3," "MF -18," 9'0-2," "0-3," and PRD. The existing land use pattern is primarily single family with a large amount of vacant land. To the north, there is a nonconforming business, and on the west side of 1-430, there is an office building. Other significant land uses in the general vicinity include Aldersgate Camp to the south, and the Baptist Hospital campus to the northeast. The existing PRD was approved in 1985 for a total of f 350 units on 17.3 acres, or a density of 20 units per acre. The property in question was rezoned from "0-3" to PRD at that time so the proposed rezoning will re-establish the previous land use classification. None of the proposed units were ever constructed and the balance of the PRD is undeveloped. 1 December 13, 1988 Item No. 2 - Z -4403-A (Continued) The 1-430 Land Use Plan shows the land directly adjacent to the interstate as suburban office, so the "0-3" reclassification conforms to the adopted plan. Staff feels the request is a reasonable option for the property and endorses the "0-3" rezoning. (As part of the rezoning action, the PRD will need to be revoked by the Board of Directors. A resolution recommending revocation of the existing PRD will be presented to the Planning Commission at the Public Hearing.) ENGINEERING COMMENTS: Possible drainage and erosion issues exist. Aldersgate Road is classified as a collector, so dedication of additional right-of-way will be required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the PRD be revoked and approval of the requested "0-3" rezoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (December 13, 1988) The applicant was present. There were no objectors and the item was placed on the consent agenda. A motion was made to recommend approval of the "0-3" rezoning as filed. The motion was approved by 'a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. (The Planning Commission also endorsed a resolution recommending revocation of the existing PRD.)
