The request is to rezone an existing nonconforming industrial use, an electrical shop, to "I-2." The property is located in Mabelvale and abuts "I-2" zoning on two sides with the MOPAC railroad tracks lying directly to the south. The existing use is a light clean industrial operation and it appears that it has no effect on the immediate vicinity. 2. The site is flat and occupied by a single structure with a parking area. 3. Mabelvale west is classified as a minor arterial which normally requires an 80-foot right-of-way. It appears that dedication of additional right-of-way will be necessary. The Engineering staff will make the final determination on the right-of-way question. 4. City Engineering has provided the following comments: (1) The southwest property boundary is adjacent to a 100-year floodplain. Therefore, a minimum floor elevation for any new construction is 306.0 feet.

However, plans are in progress and will be discussed at the meeting. 5. There are no legal issues associated with this request. 6. There is no documented neighborhood position on the site. The property was annexed into the City in 1979. 7.
