The request is to rezone a five -acre tract from "R-2" to "I-1" for an office warehouse development. The applicant has indicated that it is the intent of the owner to combine this property with the existing "I-1" site directly to the south and sell it. Zoning in the area is mixed and includes "R-2," "MF-12," "0-2," "C-2," "C-3," and "I-1" with the greater percentage of the nonresidential zoning located north of Colonel Glenn Road between Shackleford and I-430. To the southeast of the intersection of Shackleford and Colonel Glenn Road, there is a large "I-1" tract that is vacant. The property under consideration abuts "C-2," "C-3," and "I-1" zoning on two sides, the west and south. "R-2" zoning adjoins the site on the south and north. The existing land use is made up of single family, commercial, and some industrial with a high percentage still undeveloped. There is also a large mobile home park to the north. 2. The site is vacant and heavily wooded. There is some grade difference between the Shackleford side and the rear of the property, the west side. September 8, 1987 Item No. 7 - Continued 3. Shackleford Road is classified as a minor arterial which has a right-of-way standard of 80 feet. Dedication of additional right-of-way will be required because the survey reflects an existing right-of-way of 60 feet. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies as of this writing. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. There is no documented neighborhood position. 7. This location is included in the I-430 District Plan which designates the property in question for multifamily use and shows a nonresidential pattern adjoining two sides of the tract, including light industrial directly to the south. To the west, the recommended land use plan endorses the existing zoning which is a mix of multifamily, office, and commercial. The proposed multifamily area extends to the north with single family across Shackleford. When the I-430 Plan was first adopted, it showed a small industrial pocket at the intersection of Colonel Glenn Road and Shackleford Road, but over the last year, the industrial area has been significantly increased due to several rezoning actions and plan amendments. The area now extends from the south line of the property under consideration to approximately one-half mile south of Colonel Glenn Road. Enlarging the industrial base in this vicinity was endorsed after it was determined that there was a need for a sizable light industrial area along the I-430 corridor and the Colonel Glenn/Shackleford area was selected because of the existing development or lack and its accessibility. After carefully reviewing the proposed rezoning, the staff believes that adding five acres of "I-1" will not impact the area or change the direction of the plan and supports the requested reclassification. The "I-l" District requires site plan -review so that will ensure some control of the design which should lead to a quality industrial park environment for the area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the "I-1" request as filed. September 8, 1987 Item No. 7 - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors. The motion was made to recommend approval of the rezoning as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes, and 0 absent.
