10701 -Stagecoach Road
Rezone from "R-2" to AF
Single family and stables

4.98 acres
Single Family (with livestock)
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant and residential, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant and residential, Zoned "R-2"
East - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
West - Industrial, Zoned "R-2"
STAFF. ANALYSIS:
The issue before the Commission is to rezone approximately
5 acres on Stagecoach Road from 11R-2" to AF for a horse
stable. In addition to the rezoning action, the Planning
Commission must also approve a Conditional Use Permit (Item
No. 6 - Z -5058-A) to allow a commercial boarding stable.
The property has only a single family residence on it and
the proposal is to construct a 36' by 48' barn if the
rezoning and Conditional Use Permit are granted. A large
portion of the site is in the floodplain but there is no
floodway involvement.
Zoning in the immediate vicinity is a mix of "R-2," "C-2,"
11C-3" and 111-2" with -the property in question abutting "R-2"
on all sides. Land use is made up of single family
residential, office with a testing fab, and a junkyard which
is directly across Stagecoach Road. Some of the land is
still vacant including the 110-2" and "1-2" tracts. Another
use found in the area is the raising of livestock on a
minimal scale and the site under consideration had cattle on
it at one time.
Staff's position is that an AF reclassification for the
proposed use is a reasonable option for the property and
supports the request. Because of the existing zoning and
land uses in the area, the rezoning should have very little

impact on the surrounding properties. One purpose of the AF
district is to function as a transition area and it appears
this is how the property will be utilized. The Otter Creek
Plan recommends a mix of commercial arrd office land uses for
the area and an AF rezoning should have little effect on the
suggested development pattern.

PLANNING,COMM ISSION _ACTI.ON: (August 23, 1988)
The applicant, Paul Morriss, Jr., was present. There was
one objector in attendance. (Items No. 6 and 6A were
discussed together.) Mr. Morriss spoke and said he did not
object to the right-of-way dedication for Stagecoach Road
but was concerned with the Boundary Street Ordinance
requirements for his rezoning request. Ray Dennison opposed
the request and said the barn was constructed. Mr. Dennison
went on to describe the area and said there were problems
with allowing horses next to residential uses. Mr. Morriss
told the Commission the barn was in place, completed about a
month ago, and has two stalls. He also indicated that the
majority of the property was in the floodplain. After some
additional discussion, Mr. Morriss withdrew the request from
consideration. (No vote was taken by the Planning
Commission.)
