HomeMy WebLinkAboutZ-4550 Staff AnalysisOctober 29, 1985 Item No. 4 - Z-4550 Owner: Paul Jenkins and Marguerite Jenkins Applicant: Linkous Company, Inc. Location: 12201 and 12301 Hinson Road Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "0-2" Purpose: Office Size: 5.0 acres + Existing Use: Vacant and Single Family SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" East - Office, Zoned "0-2" West - Office, Zoned "0-2" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The request is to rezone a five -acre tract to "0-2," a site plan review district for some type of office development. The property is located on the south side of Hinson between Green Mountain Drive and Napa Valley Drive abutting "0-2" land on the east and west sides. This portion of Hinson Road on the south side has been dramatically changed by previous zoning actions and has very little single family residential zoning in place. The majority of the land is primarily 110-2," 110-3" and "R-5" with some of it still undeveloped. The lots on the north side are zoned "R-2," and they front Valley Club Circle not Hinson Road. Because of that relationship and the depth of the lots, any additional nonresidential zoning on the south side of Hinson should not have any impact on the residences located on the north side. The "0-2" proposal for this property is a reasonable rezoning because of the existing zoning and the site's location. 20 The site has two single family residences on it, and the rear portion is undeveloped and heavily wooded. October 29, 1985 Item No. 4 - Continued 3. Hinson Road is classified as a principal arterial on the Master Street Plan which recommends a minimum right-of-way of 100 feet. Based on the submitted survey, additional right-of-way will have to be dedicated. That amount of dedication will be determined by the Engineering staff. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues associated with this request. 6. Originally a "PCD" request was filed for the property. After being on the Planning Commission agenda for a two to three-month period, the proposal was withdrawn September 1985. During the "PCD" review, there were some concerns voiced by the residents to the north. 7. The Surburban Development Plan identifies the location for office development, and staff supports the request. The rezoning is compatible with the area, and the "0-2" District does provide for site plan review which staff views as being very desirable in this situation. The rezoning should not have any adverse impact on the area or create any problems such as traffic. (Note: The applicant has requested a waiver of the filing fee because of the previous "PCD" application. Staff supports the request and a resolution by the Planning Commission must be approved waiving the fee.) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of "0-2" rezoning as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (10-29-85) The applicant was present and was represented by Mr. Joe Buffalo, his attorney. Mr. Buffalo briefly addressed the Commission offering a history of ,the site and the owner's proposal. There were two objectors present, Mr. George Pettrus and Mr. Robert L. Brown both residents of Pleasant Valley adjacent on the north. These objectors offered concerns about the lack of requirements attached to the "0-2" request and objected to rezoning of the property October 29, 1985 Item No. 4 - Continued without specific site plan review. The case was debated with both sides offering arguments as to provision of certain site development controls and the appropriate time for review. After a lengthy discussion of the matter, the Commission voted to approve the application as filed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent. A second vote was then taken on passage of a proposed resolution of the Commission to waive the filing fees for the conversion from a Planned Commercial District to an "0-2" Office District request. 1.
