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.
