J.R. Hathaway
11621 Kanis Road
Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3"
Office and Commercial
3.0 Acres +
Existing Use: Single Family, Office and Retail
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Single Family, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
East - Vacant and Office, Zoned "R-2"
West - Single Family and Commercial, Zoned "R-2"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS -
1. The property in question is occupied by several
nonresidential uses and the request is to rezone a
three acre tract from "R-2" to "C-3" to remove the
nonconforming status. In addition to the office and
commercial uses, there is a single family residence
situated toward the rear of the site. The property is
located on Kanis Road in an area that has a mixed land
use pattern which includes residential, office,
commercial and industrial. Also, a high percentage of
the land is still vacant. The zoning is primarily
"R-2" with some multifamily and nonresidential zoning
to the east. The existing "C-3" tracts are located to
the north on Autumn Road and to the west on Bowman
Road. The strip along Kanis which this property is a
part of includes both residential and nonresidential
uses, so a commercial rezoning for this tract of land
is reasonable.
2. The site is fairly narrow and has a depth of 990 feet.
It is currently occupied by several structures, a
commercial building on Kanis and a residential unit
towards the back of the property.
3. Kanis Road is identified as a minor arterial on the
Master Street Plan, so dedication of additional
right-of-way will be required. The normal right-of-way
standard for the minor arterial is a total of 80 feet.

4. Boundary street improvements for one-half the width of
a 48 foot street will be required of this property
owner.
5. There are no legal issues.
6. There is no documented history or neighborhood position
on the site.
7. The I-430 district plan identifies a strip along the
south side of Kanis for commercial development. This
area begins west of Bowman Road and terminates` just
east of the property in question with a depth of
approximately 400 feet. This distance from Kanis Road
is also equal to the "C-3" tract that has some frontage
on Bowman Road. Because of the plan and the existing
zoning, staff cannot support a "C-3" reclassification
for the entire tract and suggests that only an area
equivalent to what the land use plan shows be rezoned.
A commercial piece of property extending back almost
1,000 feet could have some adverse impacts on the
surrounding area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of "C-3" for the north 400 feet of
the tract.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant, J.R. Hathaway, was present. There were no
objectors. Staff informed the Commission that Mr. Hathaway
had submitted a letter amending the application to "C-3" for
the north 400 feet and "MF -18" for the remainder of the
tract. There were no objections to the amended request and
a motion was to recommend approval of the rezoning to "C-3"
and "MF -18" as amended. The motion was passed by a vote of
11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
