Item No. 5 - Z-4595
Owner: Delmar Parish
Applicant: Carl Matson
Location: 5716 and 5720 Young Road
Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "C-4"
Purpose: Office and Warehouse
Size: 5.0 acres +
Existing Use: Vacant and Single Family
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North

and
Single
Family, Zoned "R-2"
South
- Vacant
and
Industrial, Zoned "R-2"
East
- Vacant

West

Multifamily, Zoned "R-2"
and "R-5"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The request is to rezone the site to "C-4" to permit an
office warehouse development. The property is located
on Young Road just north of I-30 and east of Geyer
Springs. Young Road's relationship to the interstate
is different from that of a frontage road because there
is a strip south of Young that is not part of the
interstate right-of-way which is occupied by different
types of land uses. The zoning to the east is "R-2"
and to the west is a mix of "0-3," "C-3," "C-4," "PCD"
and "R-5." The land use corresponds to the zoning for
the most part. There are some nonconforming uses along
the south side of Young Road and to the east of the
property in question there are several churches and
day-care facilities. Because of the existing
development and zoning in the area, it appears that
this particular tract of land has a stronger
relationship to the properties to the east instead of
the commercial strip along Geyer Springs Road.
2. The southern portion along Young Road is occupied by
two single family structures and the rear is vacant.

3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street
Plan issues associated with this request.
4. There have been no adverse comments received from the
reviewing agencies as of this writing.
5. There are no legal issues.
6. There is no documented history or neighborhood position
on the site.
7. The site is part of the Geyer Springs East Plan area.
The Plan which has not been formally adopted by the
City does not recognize the property in question for
anything other than continued single family residential
use. Staff believes that the plan's concept should be
maintained and does not support the rezoning proposal.
The plan proposes to keep the commercial and
multifamily uses west of the site's west property line
extended to the north. The primary intent of the plan
is to keep the commercial properties in this area
oriented to Geyer Springs. Staff is also concerned
with Young Road which is a substandard street and how
the rezoning will effect it. Young Road is identified
as a collector on the Master Street Plan which is not
normally considered as a desirable "C-4" location.
Another issue is the potential problems from the
rezoning on the single family area to the east. The
neighborhood is fairly stable and a "C-4"
reclassification could have an adverse impact on it.
There are a number of "C-4" uses that are incompatible
with the residential area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the "C-4" request as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was represented by Pat Tipton. There were two
objectors present. Ms. Tipton requested that the item be
withdrawn from the agenda. A motion was made to withdraw
the rezoning without prejudice. The motion passed by a vote
of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
