Ernest Biehslich
Rollin Caristianos
6123 South University
Rezone from "R-2" to "C-4"
Commercial
14.07 acres
Single family and vacant
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Commercial, Zoned "C-3," "C-4" and "1-2"
South - Vacant and railroad tracks, Zoned "1-2"
East - Single family and commercial, Zoned "C-3"
West - Commercial, Zoned "C-3" and "1-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The property in question is one of the few remaining "R-2"
tracts with frontage along South University and the request
is to rezone it to "C-4" for a commercial development. A
majority of the 14 acres is currently undeveloped. There is
a single family residence along the South University side.
The land also has frontage along Geyer Springs Road and is
adjacent to the railroad tracks on the southeast side.
Zoning in the general vicinity is very fragmented and
includes "R-2," "C-3," "C-4," "1-2" and PRD. The site abuts
111-2" on the south and "C-3," "C-4" and "1-2" to the north.
Across Geyer Springs Road is a "C-3" tract and on the west
side of South University the zoning is "C-3" and "1-2."
Land use tends to conform to the zoning with a mixed
commercial pattern for the properties fronting South
University. A majority of the uses on South University are
auto oriented or require "Open Display." The 111-2" tract to
the south is vacant as are several commercial parcels along
Geyer Springs Road to the north.
Staff's position is that the proposed "C-4" rezoning is
compatible with the area and supports the request. The
reclassification will not have any impact on the surrounding
properties.
