STAFF ANALYSIS:
The proposal before the Commission is to rezone .75 acre on
Baseline Road from "R-3" to 11C-3" for an unspecified
commercial use. The property is located approximately
one-half mile east of Geyer Springs and occupied by a single
family residence. Land use in the immediate vicinity is
very mixed and includes residential, office, and some
industrial. This particular site abuts office on two sides
with a commercial center to the north across Baseline Road.
The zoning is primarily "R-2" because of being annexed to
the City in 1985. Because of this, there are a number of
nonconforming uses and there have been very few rezoning
actions. There are several exceptions to that, a PRD site
to the northeast and an "R-4" parcel on Loetscher Lane and a
"C-3" tract at the intersection of Baseline and Shelley.
This property is located in the Geyer Springs East District
Plan, which was adopted by the City in 1986. For this
portion of Baseline, the plan recommends a mixed density
residential development pattern for the south side and a
commercial strip for the north side. After reviewing the
plan and the existing land use, staff feels that maintaining
the plan's concept is somewhat unrealistic and supports a
nonresidential reclassification for some of the site. The
rear of the property abuts single family use, and it should
not be part of the rezoning. Staff suggests a depth of 200
feet from Baseline Road as being appropriate for a
commercial line.
