Item No. 9 - Z-4555
Owner: Big K Development Co., Inc.
Applicant: Robert J. Richardson
Location: Shackleford Road south of
Col. Glenn Road
Request: Rezone from "R-2" Single Family
to "MF -24" Multifamily
Purpose: Multifamily Units
Size: 15.0 acres
Existing Use: Vacant
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
East - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
West - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The proposal is to rezone a 15 -acre tract to "MF -24"
for a multifamily development. No specific plans have
been submitted. The property is located on Shackleford
Road approximately one-half mile south of Col. Glenn in
an area that is primarily undeveloped. The only
significant development in the immediate vicinity is
the single family subdivision to the northeast. To the
south, there are some single family residences on large
lots, and to the north along Col. Glenn Road, there is
a mixed land use pattern with residential, commercial
and some industrial. For the most part, the land is
vacant and zoned "R-2" Single Family. There are no
multifamily projects in the general area, and it does
not lend itself to a multifamily reclassification at
this time.
2. The site is vacant, wooded and somewhat hilly.
3. Shackleford Road is classified as a minor arterial so
dedication of additional right-of-way will be required.

Item No. 9 - Continued
4. Engineering has provided the following continents:
(1) Shackleford Road will require a 40 -foot
right-of-way from the centerline and boundary
street improvements.
(2) Locate driveways to obtain maximum sight distance.
The Water Works will require a 12 -inch water main
extension, on-site fire line and hydrants.
5. There are no legal issues.
6. The property was annexed into the City in April 1985,
by the Supreme Court decision upholding the City's
annexation referendum which included this area. There
is no documented neighborhood position on the site.
7. The "MF -24" request is in conflict with the adopted
I-430 Plan, and staff does not support the request.
As with the previous industrial rezoning proposal to
the north, this reclassification is premature and is
not created by any real'demand. The land is also
removed from what would be considered a more viable
multifamily location such as the interstate. Staff
would feel more confortable with the multifamily
development for the site if it was real project and
developed through a "PRD." The "PRD" would also
address any potential design problem found on the
property. Establishing an "MF -24" density on the
property at this time is inappropriate and should not
be support.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the "MF -24" as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (10-29-85)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors in
attendance. The staff offered a modification of its
position to support an "MF -18" zoning on the 15 -acre site.
The Planning Commission accepted the staff's revised
recommendation and requested a response from Mr. Richardson.
He stated that his client would accept the "MF -18" zoning.
The Commission then voted on a motion to approve the amended
application by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes, 5 absent.
