Wingfield Martin Lindsey Road Rezone from "R-2" to 11I-2" Motor Freight Terminal 25.5 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 property under consideration is located at the western end of Lindsey Road, and the request is to rezone the tract from "R-2" to 11I-2" for a motor freight terminal. In the immediate vicinity, the zoning is "R-2" and most of the land is vacant. To the east, the zoning changes to industrial, and the area is part of the Port Industrial Park with a number of large industrial uses in place. The "I-2" parcel to the east is a warehousing facility, and the land was rezoned approximately two years ago. The proposed rezoning and uses are compatible with the area, and staff supports the request. It appears that over the next several years, there will be more interest in industrial development in this immediate area, and there will probably be additional rezoning actions requested. The only potential issue that staff has identified is access. Staff suggests that the applicant contact the City Traffic Engineer and resolve this question if one does exist. (The strip along the east side of the property is a utility easement and not a street right-of-way, so that is why mention is being made of the access issue.) ENGINEERING COMMENTS: 1. Street improvements required on Lindsey Road. July 28, 1987 Item No- 6 - Continued 2. Right-of-way dedication for a proposed collector off Lindsey Road. 3. Street improvements should be coordinated with City Engineering. 4. Stormwater detention required. 5. Excavation Ordinance requirements to be completed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the "I-2" request as filed. PLANNING .COMMISSION ACTION: The -applicant was present. There were no objectors. A motion was made to recommend approval of the "I-2" request as filed. The motion passed by vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent, and 1 open position.
