Item No. A - Z-4658
Owner: Robert Perez
Applicant: Same
Location: 7418 Mabelvale Pike
Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3"
Purpose: Commercial/Dog Grooming
Size: 0.24 acres
Existing Use: Single Family
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Single Family, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
East - Multifamily, Zoned "R-2"
West - Single Family, Zoned "R-2"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
1. The proposal before the Planning Commission is to
rezone a single lot to "C-3" for a small-scale
commercial use, dog grooming. The property is located
in a neighborhood that is primarily residential with
some vacant land on the south side of Mabelvale Pike.
There does appear to be one nonconforming commercial
use on the east side of Lewis Road. The zoning is
17R-2," "PRD" and "MF -18" with no nonresidential
classification in the vicinity. Along Mabelvale Pike,
there is a mix of single family residences and
multifamily uses with an apartment project currently
under construction on the "MF -18" tract to the south.
Also, there are some apartment units along Lewis Road.
2. The site is a typical residential lot with a single
structure on it.
3. Mabelvale Pike is identified as a collector on the
Master Street Plan, but at this time, it is unknown
whether additional right-of-way is required.
Engineering will provide the necessary information to
make that determination.
4. There have been no adverse comments received from the
reviewing agencies as of this writing.

Item No. A - Continued
5. There are no legal issues.
6. There is no documented history or neighborhood position
on the site.
7. Staff does not support the rezoning, because if
granted, it would create a spot zoning and could have a
very adverse impact on the neighborhood. The area is
predominately single family with a few small
multifamily developments. It appears that the existing
lana use pattern has not disrupted the livability of
the neighborhood, and the area should continue as a mix
of residential uses.
