PUBLIC NOTIFICATION All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site, all residents within 300 feet who could be identified and the DuQuesne, Aberdeen Court and Bayonne Neighborhood Associations were notified of the rezoning request. LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT The site is located in the Pinnacle Planning District. The adopted Plan recommends commercial for the bulk of the tract, with small portions on the west side being indicated as Office and Multifamily. Insomuch as this rezoning request involves only existing commercially zoned property, staff believes no plan change is necessary. The property lies in an area not covered by a neighborhood action plan. No action plan is proposed for the near future. STAFF ANALYSIS The request before the Commission is to rezone 11.95± acres located at 19,900 Cantrell Road from "C-2" Shopping Center Commercial to "C-3" General Commercial. The site is undeveloped and heavily wooded. There is no specific plan for immediate development of the site. At the time this property was zoned C-2 in February 1989, it was outside of the city limits but within the City's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. It was zoned prior to adoption of the Highway 10 Overlay District in October 1989. The property lies within the Commercial node established by the intersection of Chenal Parkway and Highway 10 (Cantrell Road). It was felt at that time, that it would be appropriate to have the additional level of Planning Commission review required in C-2 to assure that the development would conform to the scenic quality of Highway 10. Subsequent to the approval of this C-2 zoning and the E March 22, 2001 ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z -5099-B adoption of the Highway 10 Overlay standards, the other 3 corners of the Highway 10/Chenal Parkway intersection were zoned C-3. The heightened design standards of the overlay, including increased building setbacks and landscape areas, will assure that any development of this tract continues the scenic nature of Highway 10. The Commission recently approved C-3 zoning for 4 acres located on the south side of Cantrell, across from this site. The C-3 zoned southeast and southwest corners of Chenal Parkway and Cantrell Road are currently undeveloped. A mini -warehouse development is located on the C-3 zoned property north of Cantrell, east of Chenal Parkway. A convenience store is located on the PCD zoned property directly east of the subject property. The 0-3 zoned property to the north and the 0-2 and MF -18 zoned properties to the west are currently undeveloped. A new apartment complex is nearing completion on the MF -18 zoned property to the northwest. The proposed C-3 zoning is compatible with uses and zoning in the area and conforms to the adopted Land Use Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MARCH 22, 2001) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval.
