The request is to rezone approximately 88 acres east of the Airport to "I-1" Industrial Park District. The Zoning Ordinance states: "The "I-1" Industrial Park District is established to provide for modern, efficient and well designed industrial facilities within a 'park like' setting. As the City's most restrictive industrial district, the "I-1"' zone is designed to conform to high development standards while providing for a full array of industrial and related uses. Siting of buildings, parking, landscaping and the location of this district in relation to adjacent residential and commercial areas will be of particular importance in determining the appropriateness of allowing the "I-1" district at a given location. Stringent enclosure, screening and locational requirements are applied to the storage area of materials and merchandise." The property is located between Fourche Dam Pike and East Roosevelt in the area that is being impacted by the expansion of the airport which is currently underway.

For large tracts in the plan area, this approach was used to encourage actions that provide for some type of site plan review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of "I-1" with a 100 -foot "OS" strip on the north, south and east sides. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Bill Putnam, was present. There were 10-12 objectors and some other interested persons in attendance. Mr. Putnam spoke briefly and said that he was representing the owners of the land. Rick Rouse then addressed the Commission and said that he was opposed to the rezoning. He was concerned with traffic, noise, increasing the flooding problems and the potential impact on the Rose Meadows Subdivision, the neighborhood directly to the south. There was some discussion about access to the site. Carolyn Biggs also objected to the rezoning. She said that there would be problems with heavy truck traffic. Ms. Biggs also said that the neighborhood did not have time to organize or meet to discuss the proposals. E.M. Crow discussed the area and land use. He said that there were some problems with drainage. Warren Sullivan spoke about future trends in the area and asked for more time to review the rezoning. Mr. Sullivan also said that he did not see any rezoning signs on the property. Mr. Putnam addressed the Commission. He pointed out that the necessary signs were posted and described the locations. He said that he saw no problems with the "OS" areas and the strip on the south side adjacent to Rose Meadows could be increased on 180 feet. Kenneth Nelson and Bill Sisco, both discussed various issues including noise and drainage. A motion was then made to recommend approval of the "I-1" request with a 180 foot "OS" strip on the south and a 100 foot "OS" strip on the north and east side. The motion was approved by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent, 1 abstention (Dorothy Arnett). November 26, 1985 Item No. 7 - Z-4577 Owner: Various Owners Applicant: W.B.

The property is located between Fourche Dam Pike and East Roosevelt in the area that is being impacted by the expansion of the airport which is currently underway. On the west will be the relocated Fourche Dam Pike and beyond that a major runway. That project has already had an effect on the neighborhood because of the property acquisition program and construction November 26, 1985 Item No. 7 --Continued especially to the west and northwest. The proposal is to develop the property for one large user and have tracts available for some smaller projects. The use is to be primarily industrial warehousing. Because of what is taking place in the area, it appears that industrial use for the property is reasonable if properly developed. 2. The site is currently a pecan grove with some very large trees on it. In the northwest corner of the project, there is a single family residence with some other structures. 3. Fourche Dam Pike on the north side of the property is classified as a collector on the Master Street Plan. It appears that some dgdication of right-of-way will be required because the standard for a collector is 60 feet and the existing right-of-way is 40 feet. At this time, it is unknown whether the neer alignment of Fourche Dam Pike will change the status of the street. Engineering will address this issue at the public hearing. .4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. The property was annexed into the City in 1985 by the court's action upholding the annexation referendum. Staff has received some informational calls regarding this rezoning. 7. Because of the property's location and the airport expansion, staff supports the "I-111 request. The type of use is appropriate because of being close to the airport which has already had a great impact on the area, especially with the current expansion plan. The "I-1" district does require site plan review which will be beneficial in this situation because of the - remaining residential areas. This will require a comprehensive plan to be formulated prior to any development taking place. Also, traffic impact on the residents should be minimal because the preliminary plan shows only one street accessing the site and that is from the new alignment of Fourche Dam Pike to the west. With the residential uses on three sides, staff does recommend a 100 -foot "OS" strip on the north, south and east sides and to create an adequate buffer.
