Item No. 5 - Z-4606
Owner: James A. Lott
Applicant: Same
Location: 12300 Stagecoach Road
Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3"
Purpose: Mixed Uses
Size: 16.5 acres
Existing Use: Vacant, Residential and Commercial
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant, Zoned "I-2"
South - Commercial, Zoned "C-3"
East - Vacant and Single Family, Zoned "R-2"
West - Vacant and Industrial, Unclassified
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The proposal is -to rezone 16.5 acres to "C-3" for•mixed
uses. The property is currently occupied by two
commercial buildings and a single family residence
along Stagecoach Road. The remaining portion is vacant
with the exception of a community softball field in the
northeast corner. The owner is planning to make an
addition to one of the commercial structures, but being
a nonconforming use, this could not be accomplished
without first obtaining the necessary zoning. The site
has nonresidential zoning on three sides and there is
very little 11R-2" zoning left in the area. The most
significant residential uses in the immediate vicinity
are some mobile home parks zoned "R-7." It appears
that other nonresidential rezonings have not adversely
effected the parks and with this land being across
Stagecoach Road, it should not have an impact either.
Because of the location, some type of nonresidential
rezoning is appropriate.
2. The site is primarily and vacant with the exception of
the three structures fronting Stagecoach Road.

Item No. 5 - Continued
3. Stagecoach Road or State Highway No. 5 is identified as
a principal arterial on the Master Street Plan with a
recommended right-of-way width for a principal arterial
being 100 feet. Some additional dedication will be
required because the survey reflects an existing
right-of-way of 60 feet.
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 1979. Staff
has received several informational calls concerning
this request.
7. The site is part of the Otter Creek District Plan area
and the land use plan proposes a mix of commercial and
industrial uses for this tract of land. Staff's
position is that the plan's concept should be
maintained and recommends "C-3" for the south 300 feet
and "I-2" Light Industrial for the remaining portion.
The 300 feet depth should provide an adequate area for
any proposed expansion of the existing structures or
developing a new commercial project. This type of
zoning pattern should not have any impacts on the
surrounding properties and conforms to the adopted
plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of "C-3" for the south 300 feet
and "I-2" for the balance of the property.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant, James Lott, was present. There were no
objectors. Mr. Lott described the property and his plans
for expansion of one of the commercial structures which
created the need for rezoning. There was a discussion about
the staff's recommendation, and Mr. Lott agreed to modifying
his request to "C-3" for the south 300 feet. A motion was
made to recommend approval of an amended application to
"C-3" for the south 300 feet only and the balance of the
property remain "R-2." The motion passed by a vote of
9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
