White I-30 and Stanton Road SW Corner Rezone from "R-2" Single Family to "C-3" General Commercial Commercial 1.16 acres + Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Interstate, Zoned "R-2" South - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" East - Commercial, Zoned "R-3" West - Warehousing, Zoned "R-2" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The proposal is to rezone a vacant tract fronting I-30 at Stanton Road from "R-2" to "C-3." No specific plans or uses have been provided at this time. The site abuts commercial use to the east and a light industrial operation to the west. Both of those uses are nonconforming. The land use pattern on the south side of I-30 is primarily a mix of office, commercial and industrial uses with some vacant land. In the immediate vicinity, the zoning 'is "R-2" for the most part with some "I-2" to the west and "0-3" on the north side of I-30. Because of the location and area, a commercial rezoning use is appropriate for the property. 2. The site is vacant and has a slight slope to it. 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street Plan issues associated with the request. 4. Engineering has reported that traffic access shall be coordinated and approved by the traffic engineer before any permits are issued. No other comments have been received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. July 30, 1985 Item No. 5 -- Continued 5. There are no legal issues. 6. Staff has received several informational calls regarding this request. The property was annexed into the City in April of 1985 through the referendum area that was upheld by the State Supreme Court. This is the reason that most of the area is zoned "R-2." 7. Staff is in the process of developing a plan for this area, the Geyer Springs East District Plan. The initial analysis of the I-30 frontage at Stanton Road shows a mix of nonresidential uses. Because of the site's location and the preliminary land use plan, staff feels comfortable supporting the "C-3" request at this time. There is a residential neighborhood to the south, but it appears that the rezoning will have very little impact on those residences. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTOIN: (7-30-85) The applicant was present. There was one objector present', Mr. Larry Hardin. The applicant, Mr. White, made a brief presentation of the history of the site both platting and land use. Mr. Hardin whose lot rears upon the site objected to the additional commercial uses that will increase undesirables walking through the block as well as the noise and congestion created. The Planning Commission discussed the item briefly. A motion was made to approve the application as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent.
