The property is located on the south side of I-30 east of the county line where a majority of the land is still vacant. Recent rezonings in the area have been for "C-4" to allow uses similar to the one being proposed with this request. The Otter Creek District Plan identifies the location as mixed commercial/industrial so the "C-4" rezoning is compatible with the plan, and staff supports the request. One item that will have to be resolved prior to the property being rezoned is the status of the floodway that crosses the southeast corner of the site. With other rezoning proposals in the area, the City has required the landowners to dedicate any land that is in the floodway. A recommendation concerning the dedication will be developed prior to the public hearing. Also a high percentage of the property is in the floodplain so -those requirements will have to be met for any construction that takes place on the tract. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the "C-4" rezoning. December 17, 1985 Item No. 20 - Z-4581 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicants, Lois Harber and Troy Hood, were present. There were no objectors. Staff discussed the floodway issue and said that the City's position was to rezone it to "OS" and that the owners dedicate the floodway'to the City. There was some discussion about the floodway and floodplain. Both Ms. Harber and Mr. Hood indicated that they agreed with the staff's recommendation. Staff informed the applicants_ that they needed to contact the City's Engineering staff regarding the floodway issue. The Commission voted to recommend approval of "C-4" and "OS" for that portion of the tract in the floodway. The vote: 8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent.
