Item No. 8 - Z-4888
Owner: Prenco, Inc.
Applicant: Dan R. Robinson II
Location: I-30 and Chicot Road
Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3"
Purpose: Motel/Long-Term Care Residential
Facility
Size: 4.9 acres
Existing Use: Motel (Nonconforming)
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Interstate Right -of -Way, Zoned "R-2"
South - Commercial, Zoned "R-2"
East - Commercial and Industrial, Zoned "R-2," "C-4,"
and "I-2"
West - Vacant and Industrial, Zoned "I-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The property under consideration is currently nonconforming,
a motel, and the request is to rezone it from "R-2" to "C-3"
to allow a long-term care residential facility for the
elderly. To accommodate the proposed use, the rezoning is
being requested to ensure that in the future there will not
be any problems with any potential expansion or other
structural modifications to accommodate the use. It appears
that the only real change will be the "C-3" rezoning, and
the use will basically remain the same. The zoning in the
area is fairly mixed with "R-2," "C-3," "C-4," and "I-2."
The land use pattern is very similar with a major
industrial use to the east, and there is still some
undeveloped land in the vicinity. Because of the existing
zoning configuration and the land use, the proposed rezoning
will not create any impacts for'the area.
Chicot Road is classified as a minor arterial which normally
requires an 80-foot right-of-way. The survey does not
indicate the existing right-of-way, so staff cannot
determine if additional right-of-way is needed at this time.
This will resolved prior to the item being forwarded to the
Board of Directors for final action.

Item No. 8 - Continued
Along the west side of the property there is a creek, and a
portion of the site is located in the floodway. Based on a
preliminary review, it appears that no buildings are in the
floodway, but some of the parking area is. Under normal
City policy, the entire floodway would need to be dedicated,
but because of the existing improvements, staff suggests
that only the unimproved floodway area be dedicated and that
an easement be obtained for the remainder. Finally, the
creek is identified on the Master Parks Plan as a Priority 2
- Open Space. Julius Breckling has indicated that he is
satisfied with the dedication/easement arrangement for the
floodway area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the "C-3" rezoning for the area
outside the floodway and "OS" for the established floodway.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant, Dan Robinson, was present. There were no
objectors. Mr. Robinson agreed to the "OS" designation for
the floodway as suggested by the staff. A motion was made
to recommend approval of the "C-3" and "OS" rezoning as
amended. The motion passed by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes,
and 0 absent.
