STAFF ANALYSIS: Shane Smith Properties, LLC, owner of the 0.37 acre property located at 12300 Stagecoach Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The 0.37 acre proposed for rezoning is part of an 8.28 acre tract zoned C-3 and R-2. The 0.37 acre consists of a 50 foot wide strip running east/west through the property. The proposed C-3 strip will replace property along the south property boundary dedicated for the widening project for Stagecoach Road currently taking place. The 0.37 acre strip is currently undeveloped and grass covered. The C-3 zoned property at 12300 Stagecoach Road is occupied by a one-story commercial building which houses Enterprise Liquor. Driveways from Stagecoach Road serve the site, with paved parking on the south, east and west sides of the building. Additional right-of-way was recently obtained for the widening of Stagecoach Road. The new right-of-way line is near the front of the existing building. The applicant is requesting to extend the existing C-3 zoning back an 2 FILE NO.: Z -4606-A Cont. additional 50 feet so that a new building can be constructed further back on the property, with the existing building to be removed. The area contains a mixture of uses and zoning. The Adams Pest Control facilities are located on the 1-2 zoned property immediately to the west. Undeveloped C-3, R-2 and PID zoned property is located to the east. Undeveloped PID zoned property is also located north of the overall 8.28 acre tract. Mixed commercial uses and a large mobile home park are located across Stagecoach Road to the south (zoned C-3 and R-7). The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Mixed Use. The proposed 50 foot extension of the existing C-3 zoning does not require an amendment to the plan. Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 rezoning. Staff views the request as reasonable. The proposal is more of a "clean-up" issue to replace C-3 zoning which was lost due to right-of-way dedication for Stagecoach Road. This will allow the site to be redeveloped, with a new commercial building being located further back on the lot away from the new roadway construction. The existing 1-2 zoning located immediately to the west and a short distance to the east extends much further to the north than the proposed C-3 zoning strip. Staff believes the 50 foot extension of the existing C-3 zoning will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 rezoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MAY 16, 2013) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent agenda and approved as recommended by staff.
