North - Commercial, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
East - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
West - Single Family, Zoned "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone a tract of land from "R-2" to "C-3"
for a convenience store. The property is located on
Stagecoach Road just west of the I-430 Interchange and
contains approximately 2.5 acres. The land use found along
this section of Stagecoach Road is very mixed and includes
uses that range from residential to a salvage yard. This
type of development pattern is particularly true for the
north side with a number of small commercial and industrial
uses. The south side is still primarily single family with
some large vacant tracts.
The Otter Creek District Plan identifies this area along
Stagecoach Road for mixed commercial and industrial uses. A
"C-3" reclassification is appropriate for this type of land
use pattern, and staff supports the "C-3" zoning for a
portion of the property. The rear one-third of the site is
located in the floodway, so staff recommends that the
floodway area be rezoned to "OS" and dedicated to the City.
Stagecoach Road is classified as a principal arterial on the
Master Street Plan, so dedication of right-of-way will be
necessary. The survey reflects an existing right-of-way of
60 feet, and the normal standard for a principal arterial is
100 feet, so possibly an additional 20 feet will be
required.

Item No. 10 - Continued
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of "C-3" and "OS" for that portion
of the site in the floodway which is also to be dedicated to
the City.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant, Maury Mitchell, was present. W.A. Owings,
the owner, was also in attendance. There were no objectors.
Mr. Owings spoke and agreed to rezoning the floodway to
"O -S" but had problems dedicating it to the City. He said
that dedicating the land would be a taking without
compenstaion and that possibly the Fourche Creek Drainage
Project would affect the amount of floodway area. There
were several comments about the floodway issue and the
City's policy regarding it. A motion was then made to
recommend approval of "C-3" and "O -S" for the floodway with
the Board of Directors resolving the floodway dedication
issue. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2
absent. (The Planning Commission instructed the staff to
work with City Engineering on the floodway issue.
