Booe Same Stagecoach Road West of I-430 Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3" Food Store 4.6 acres Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" East - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" West - Vacant, Zoned "R-2" 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 June 16, 1987 Item_ No. 3- Continued 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.)
