SURROUND I NG__LAND .USE AND ZONING:
North - Multifamily, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
East - Church, Zoned "R-2"
West - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The property in question is located on Rockwood Road
which is off of Stagecoach Road and the issue is to
rezone 2.25 acres from 1111-2" to 111-2." The site is
currently an engineering office with a testing lab (a
nonconforming use). The proposal is to add another
building for storage purposes and to accomplish this, a
rezoning must be approved because of expanding a
nonconforming use. ("1-2" was selected as the
appropriate district because, at the time of filing the
application, the owner described some of the property
as a contractor's storage yard.) The company does
soils and geological testing so there is equipment
necessary to perform the work and the owner would like
to have a safe storage area. Surrounding zoning is
11R-2" with some "0-3" on Stagecoach Road, and on
Shackleford Road to the north there is a large "I-1"
area primarily zoned for a major maintenance facility
for the Water and Waste Water utilities. Land use
includes single family, multifamily, a church and
seminary, nursing home, office, and industrial. Some
of the existing nonresidential uses are nonconforming.
The site abuts vacant land on the west and south sides
with the church on the east and some multifamily units
(housing for the seminary) to the north.

2. The site has one building on it and some of the area. is
paved for parking. The existing structure is situated
right on the east property line.
3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street
Plan issues associated with the request.
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 history or neighborhood position
on the site.
7. The adopted plan, 65th Street West, recommends a
multifamily land use for the general area, including
the property under consideration. To the east of the
site, the Plan recognizes an existing church and
related uses by identifying the north and south sides
of Rockwood as Public/Institutional. Additional
multifamily areas are shown to the north along both
sides of Shackleford Road. Recommended nonresidential
locations are shown along Stagecoach Road and
Shackleford Road, which is a large light industrial
area. The existing industrial area along Shackleford
Road is more than adequate to meet the demands of the
area and establishing another industrial pocket could
have an adverse impact on the neighborhood. After
careful review of the request, Staff has determined
that 111-2" is not needed for the property and 110-3" is
suitable for what the owner is proposing. Because of
the location and the existing uses, Staff feels that
110-3" is more appropriate than 111-2" and supports an
"0-3" reclassification. The use has been in place for
a number of years without impacting the area and is
compatible with the existing uses to the east.
STAFF^RECOMME,NDATION:
Staff recommends approval of 110-3" and not 111-2" as
requested.
