STAFF ANALYSIS
5705 Patterson Road is currently zoned I-2, and the request
is rezone the acreage to I-3. At this time, the proposed
use is propane bulk storage. In the I-3, "bulk storage of
highly flammable and/or hazardous materials" is permitted if
the locations meet the following criteria:
• The site is larger than 5 acres.
• The location is separated from residential zoned or
used property by at least 1,000 feet, property line to
property line.
■ The storage facilities have a minimum setback of
200 feet from all property lines.
If a tract cannot meet one of the criteria, then the storage
use is listed as a conditional use. The property in
question has 5 acres, however, it is less than 1,000 feet
from R-2 land and a conditional use permit is required in
addition to the I-3 rezoning. (Item No. 6 on this agenda is
the requested conditional use permit.)
The site is vacant at this time. The frontage on Patterson
equals 200 feet and the tract has a depth of approximately
760 feet. Along the rear of the 5 acres is a railroad
right-of-way.

ITEM N 2 Z-464 -B (Cont.)
Zoning is R-2, R-5, C74 and I-2. The property under
consideration is surrounded by I-2 land. The nearest R-2 is
several hundred feet to the west, along Hoffman Road, and to
the north. Land use is primarily nonresidential and
includes office, some commercial, auto service and
industrial. There are also some residential uses in the
general vicinity and some land is still undeveloped.
Because of the existing zoning and land use patterns, it
appears that the requested I-3 is an acceptable
reclassification for the site. The use and rezoning should
not create any problems for the nearby properties, nor have
a direct impact on the established single family
neighborhoods because they are some distance from the site.
And finally, the adopted plan does show the property as part
of a large industrial area, and not as light industrial.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site is in the 65th Street East District. The plan for
the area recommends industrial use. There are no plan
issues.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Patterson Road is a collector and the right-of-way standard
is 30 feet from the centerline. If the existing
right-of-way is deficient, dedication of additional
right-of-way will be required.
