STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone a tract of land between Mabelvale
Pike and South University from "R-2" to "C-4" to allow an
existing auto dealership on South University to expand. The
site is occupied by a single family residence and an
accessory building which will probably be removed to
accommodate the future use. 2�oning in the area includes
"R-2," "C-3," and "C-4" with the nonresidential area
well-defined and restricted to lands east of Mabelvale Pike.
Land use follows a similar pattern with the commercial uses
found along South University and a large residential area to
the west. The neighborhood is stable and has not
experienced any incompatible rezonings.
Over the years, a residential strip along the east side of
Mabelvale Pike has been maintained, and the rezoning
proposal before the Commission reinforces that land use
configuration by keeping a 200-foot "R-2" area east of
Mabelvale Pike. The 200-foot distance was established
through a zoning action on the property directly to the
south, approved by the City in 1985. This request keeps a
200-foot area and should not impact the existing
development.
The rezoning conforms to the adopted 65th Street West Plan,
and there are no Master Street Plan issues.
