PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
FILE NO.: Z -4544-A
All owners of property within 200 feet of the site, all
residents within 300 feet and the Upper Baseline
Neighborhood Association were notified of the rezoning
request.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The property is located in the Geyer Springs East Planning
District. The adopted Plan recommends Commercial for the
property and all others on the south side of Baseline Road
from Sunset Lane to Reck Road. This C-1 Neighborhood
Commercial rezoning request conforms to the adopted Plan.
The property lies within the area covered by the Upper
Baseline Area Neighborhood Action Plan which was approved by
the Commission on September 2, 1999 and the Board of
Directors on November 2, 1999. That Plan did not include
any proposed Land Use Plan Amendments or zoning changes.
One stated goal of the Plan was to "encourage and establish
neighborhood -oriented businesses."
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .66±
acre lot from "R-2" Single Family to "C-1" Neighborhood
Commercial. The property is occupied by an older, single-
family residence and two out -buildings. The applicant
proposes to convert the residential structure into a beauty
shop.
The property is located on the south side of Baseline Road
in an area of mixed zoning and uses, including several
nonconforming commercial uses. The R-2 zoned property
adjacent to the west contains a small commercial strip
center housing a variety of uses. A mini -warehouse
development is located on this same property, behind the
strip center. The property adjacent to the south contains
several, older single -wide manufactured homes. A larger
area of single family homes extends farther to the south.
One single family home is adjacent to the east. Other uses
farther to the east include a Sonic Drive-in restaurant and
a convenience store. The properties across Baseline Road,
to the north, contain a variety of uses including one

single-family home, a church and another mini -warehouse
development.
The C-1 Neighborhood Commercial district is designed to
accommodate limited retail developments within or adjacent
to neighborhood areas. It should be located at arterial or
collector street intersections and within walking distance
of residential areas. Staff believes the proposed C-1
zoning for this lot is compatible with uses and zoning in
the area.
The Geyer Springs East District Land Use Plan recommends
Commercial for this tract as well as all other properties on
the south side of Baseline Road, between Sunset Lane and
Reck Road. The C-1 request easily conforms to the adopted
Plan.
Redevelopment of the site for a beauty shop will no doubt
require the construction of additional parking spaces on the
site. All development must conform to City Ordinance
standards for parking, landscaping, buffers, etc. The
conversion of the residential structure into a commercial
use must conform to all applicable building codes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-1 zoning.
