HomeMy WebLinkAboutZ-4463 Staff AnalysisJune 25, 1985 Item No. 6 - Z-4463 Owner: Michael B. Coulson Applicant: Same Location: 8100 West Markham Request: Rezone from 11R-2" to "C-1" Purpose: Convenience Store with Gas Pumps or Service Station Size: 0.53 acres + Existing Use: Convenience Store with Gas Pumps (Nonconforming) SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Multifamily, Zoned "R-5" South - Public, Zoned "R-4" East - Multifamily, Zoned "R-6" West - Office, Zoned "0-3" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The request is to rezone an existing convenience store with gas pumps to 11C-1." This type of use is a conditional use in "C-1," so prior to any changes being made on the property, additional review and approval by the City will have to take place. At this time, it is unknown whether the existing structure will remain as is or a major renovation project will be undertaken. The site is located on West Markham approximately 1 1/2 blocks east of Rodney Parham in an area that has a mixed zoning pattern. The property abuts 11R-5" and 110-3" with 11R-4" on the south side of West Markham. In the immediate vicinity, the zoning also includes "MF -18, -"PRD," "PCD" and "C-3." Land use is very similar with the commercial use being concentrated to the west on Markham and to the south on Rodney Parham. Because of the property's location and the existing use, it appears that "C-1" is a reasonable reclassification. 2. The site is flat and occupied by one structure and several gas pump islands. June 25, 1985 Item No. 6 - 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. There is no documented neighborhood position on the site. The use has been in existence for a number of years. 7. Staff supports the request because of the existing use, location and the 11C-1" reclassification. Fronting on West Markham and surrounded by "R-5" and 110-3" zoning, the change to "C-1" should not have an effect on any of the surrounding properties. Previous zoning actions have already impacted the area. It should be pointed out that the staff's positive position on the request is not an endorsement of commercial zoning on the south side of West Markham. In fact, any commercial request directly to the south should be strongly discouraged and the existing line maintained. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of 11C-1" as requested. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the request as filed. The vote - 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
