10105 Mabelvale West
Rezone from "R-2" Single Family to
"I-2" Light Industrial
Electrical Shop
0.84 acres +
Existing Use: Electrical Shop (Nonconforming)
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" and "I-2"
South - Vacant and Railroad Tracks, Zoned "R-2" and
"I-211
East - Vacant and Single Family, Zoned "R-2"
West - Vacant, Zoned "I-2"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. 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.

Item No. 3 -- Continued
(2) This lot is located in the area of a City capital
improvement project for street improvements.
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. The Otter Creek Plan identifies this tract and a
majority of the land south of Mabelvale west for light
industrial uses, so the rezoning is compatible with the
plan. Staff's position is that the rezoning will not
impact the area and supports the request.
