Item No. 7 - Z-4597
Owner: Browning-Ferris Inc.
Applicant: Edward G. Adcock
Location: South end of Allied Way (South of
West 65th)
Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "I-2"
Purpose: Industrial
Size: 17.224 acres +
Existing Use: Industrial (Nonconforming)
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant and Industrial, Zoned "I-3"
South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
East - Mixed Uses, Unclassified
West - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone the property to "I-2" to place the
existing use in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. The
site is currently utilized for an office and truck storage
and service for a waste disposal operation. The land is
zoned "R-2" because this area was recently annexed to the
City by the State Supreme Court upholding the City's
annexation referendum.
The property is located south of West 65th and at the end of
Allied Way which is just west of Arch Street Pike. The area
to the north is zoned 11I-3" and with the railroad tracks
along the east side, an "I-2" reclassification is a
reasonable rezoning for the property. The use and zoning
will not have any impacts on the surrounding property and
staff supports the request.
Along the west side of the property, there is some floodway
involvement and a large portion of the site is in the
floodplain. The City's position relative to floodway lands
has been to zone it "OS" Open Space and have the owners
dedicate the floodway portion to the City. Engineering will
provide a formal recommendation regarding the floodway at
the time of the hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
---Staff recommends approval of "I-2" and "OS" for the
floodway.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant, Frank Mackey, Jr., was present. There was
one other person in attendance who expressed an interest in
the item. Mr. Mackey said that the current use, truck
repair and storage, had occupied the site since 1973. He
also indicated that there would be no deposit of waste at
the location under consideration. He then pointed out that
because of the nonconforming use, a rezoning was necessary
to allow for expansion of the office and truck facility.
Mr. Mackey went on to say that he had not received a final
decision on the floodway land, but he saw no problems with
the "OS" rezoning and dedication of the floodway area,
approximately 4 acres. Richard C. Butler, a property owner
in the area, had some questions about the request, but did
not object to the rezoning. A motion was made to recommend
approval of "I-2" and "OS" for designated floodway which is
to be dedicated to the City. The motion was approved by a
vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
