White North side of Highway 10 east of Highway 300 Rezone from unclassified to 110-3" and "C-3" Office and commercial 31.23 acres Vacant SURROUNDING... LAND USE AND. .ZONING: North - Vacant, unclassified South - Vacant and single family, unclassified East - Vacant and industrial, unclassified West - Vacant and single family, unclassified STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed rezoning involves approximately 31 acres located on the north side of Highway 10 east of Highway 300 and the request is for 10.2 acres of 110-3" and 21.1 acres of "C-3." The location is, outside the City limits so it is unclassified at this time. The property is situated at what will be the future extension of the Chenal Parkway from Highway 10 north to Highway 300. The general vicinity is entirely outside the City limits so there is no zoning in place. The nearest non-residential zoning is,approximately one-half mile to the east on the north side of Highway 10, part of the proposed Johnson Ranch development. Land use in the immediate area is primarily single family with some minor commercial uses and a church at the intersection of Highway 10 and Highway 300. Another use is an electrical substation located to the east of the property in question. This request is very'similar to the proposed Deltic rezoning which is located directly to the south. Both proposals involve commercial reclassifications along the Highway 10 frontage with an office area to the rear. As with the Deltic request, the land area under considerati n falls December 13, 1988 Item No.. E - Z75099 (Continued)_ within the commercial node shown on both the Highway 10 Plan and the Extraterritorial Plan. Rezoning to a mix of commercial and office uses does not appear to be the primary issue but rather what type of districts are compatible with the future development of the Highway 10 corridor. To be consistent with other proposed changes and existing zoning patterns, Staff recommends a "C-2" reclassification for the 16.4 acre tract. This will mirror the recommended "C-2" tract at the southwest corner of the future intersection of Highway 10 and the Chenal Parkway. For the smaller "C-3" tract, a 40 foot landscaped area along Highway 10 is suggested and Staff supports the "0-3" as requested. ENGINEERING COMMENTS: Because of the proposed design of the new intersection, access to the commercial tracts will need to be reviewed. Ninety feet of right-of-way is required for the new roadway. In the future, additional right-of-way will be required for Highway 10. Zoning action does not recognize the location of the proposed street to the northeast. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of "C-2" for the larger commercial tract, "C-3" with a 40 foot landscaped area along Highway 10 for the 4.7 acre site, and 110-3" for 10.2 acres as requested. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (November 1, 1988) The applicant, Gene Pfeifer, was present and requested that the item be deferred. A motion was made to defer the item to the December 13, 1988 meeting. The motion was approved by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. AMENDED STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is in the process of ironing out right-of-way details and will report at the meeting.
