Item No. 6 - Z-4635
Owner: William L. Huffstutlar
Applicant: Same
Location: 10,510 and 10,600 I-30
Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3" and
"C-4"
Purpose: Office and Commercial
Size: 12.9 acres +
Existing Use: Office and Commercial
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Residential, Zoned "R-2"
South - Interstate Right -of -Way, Zoned "R-2"
East - Single Family and Vacant Buildings, Zoned
"R-2" and "I-2"
West - Vacant and Church, Zoned "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The proposal is to rezone a 2.3 acre tract to "C-3" and an
10.5 acre site to "C-4." Both parcels are currently
occupied with nonconforming uses, sales lots for metal
(storage) buildings and a structure with some office and
retail uses. The property is located on I-30, west of the
Baseline Road overpass, in the area that has a mixed land
use pattern and zoning that includes "R-2," C-4" and "I-2."
Some of the uses are single family residences, a mobile home
park and a used car lot.
This area is part of the Otter Creek District Plan which
identifies the general location for strip development along
the I-30 frontage. The proposed districts, "C-3" and "C-4"
are normally associated with that type of land use pattern,
and because of that, staff supports the rezoning concept but
recommends that the north 150 to 200 feet of the "C-4" tract
be left "R-2." This would be consistent with the zoning
line established by the "I-2" rezoning to the east and with
the adopted plan.

Item No. 6 - Continued
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the 11C-3" zoning as filed and
the "C-4" with the exception of the north 200 feet. This
should maintain the line created by the "I-2" zoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant, William Huffstutlar, was present. There were
no objectors. Mr. Huffstutlar said that he had problems
with the staff's recommendation for the proposed "C-4"
tract because it would reduce the possibility of selling the
property with a decrease in size. He went on the describe
the area and again stressed his reluctance to have split
zoning on the "C-4" tract. There was a long discussion and
at that point Mr. Huffstutlar agreed to amending the
application to leave 150 foot strip south of Baseline Road
as "R-2." The Commission voted on the request as amended
the exclude the north 150 feet of the "C-4" site. The vote
8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent.
