Jones 12,835 I-30 Rezone from "R-2" to "I-2" Industrial 19.7 acres Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Interstate Right -of -Way, Zoned "R-2" South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" East - Vacant and Commercial, Zoned "R-2" and "C-3" West - Vacant, Zoned "OS" and "C-4" STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposal is to rezone a large tract of land from "R-2" to "I-2" along the I-30 corridor. This area between I-30 and Alexander Road has a very mixed land use that includes residential, commercial and industrial. The zoning is very similar with "R-2," "C-3," "C-4," "I-2," and an "OS" piece for a portion of the established floodway. The Otter Creek District Plan suggests a mix of commercial and industrial uses for the location, so the 11I-2" rezoning is compatible with the plan's recommendation. The most significant issue associated with this request is the floodway involvement. Out of the 19.7 acres, approximately 9.3 acres are within the designated floodway. This leaves the north 9.3 acres and one acre in the southeast corner out of the floodway. The City's position is that the floodway be dedicated to the City and rezoned to "OS " Engineering recommends that the applicant should obtain the required flood elevation from the Public Works Department at the time of any building permit application. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of "I-2" for that portion of the property outside the floodway and "OS" for the designated floodway which is to be dedicated to the City. November 25, 1986 Item No. D - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (October 28, 1986) Staff recommended that the item be deferred for thirty (30) days. A motion was made to defer the request to the November 25, 1986, meeting.

There were no objectors. Ms. O'Neal agreed to the "OS" reclassification for the floodway and dedicating it to the City. A motion was made to recommend approval of the rezoning as amended to 11I-2" and "OS" for the floodway. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, and 2 absent.
