STAFF ANALYSIS:
The proposal before the Commission is to rezone the site
to "C-3" for purposes of constructing a food store. The
property is located on Stagecoach Road/Highway 5 just west
of the I-430 interchange. Zoning in the area is primarily
"R-2" with several isolated PCD, "C-4", and "I-2" locations.
Development is concentrated along Stagecoach Road and
includes a mix of residential, commercial, and some
industrial. In addition to the developed parcels, there is
a high percentage of vacant land especially on the south
side of Stagecoach Road. The properties abutting the site
are vacant with the Fourche Creek Floodway on the south.
This area is part of the Otter Creek District Plan which
recommends a mixed commercial and industrial land use
pattern. "C-3" is a compatible zoning district for that
type of development and staff supports the rezoning request
for a portion of the property. The south 1.32 acres is in
the designated floodway so that area should be rezoned to
"O -S" and then dedicated to the City.
Stagecoach Road is classified as a principle arterial on the
Master Street Plan which requires a minimum of 100 feet of
right-of-way. It appears that dedication of additional
right-of-way will be required based on other rezoning
attempts in the area. At this time, the exact amount of
dedication is unknown because the survey only indicates a
variable right-of-way. Engineering will provide the

specifics prior to the Board of Directors taking final
action.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
1. Floodway dedication is required.
2. Right-of-way and street improvements are required.
3. The Traffic Engineer has a suggestion that may become a
requirement to provide access to the three adjoining
lots back to the east. If the adjoining properties
back to the east are zoned commercial, then an access
road should be dedicated and provided across the site
to serve the other three properties. If not, the other
three tracts may be landlocked.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of "C-3" and "O -S" for the
f loodway portion of the property which is also to be
dedicated to the City.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present and agreed to amend the request to
"C-3" and "O -S" for the designated floodway. There were no
objectors. A motion was made to recommend approval Of the
amended application to "C-3" and "0-S." The motion passed
by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, and 2 absent. (The (loodway is
to be dedicated to the City.)
