STAFF ANALYSIS:
The issue is to rezone a 100' x 150' parcel of land located
at the southern end of Cumberland Street from 11R-3" to
111-2." Ryder Truck Rental is adjacent to the site and they
are in the process of acquiring the property to be utilized
for some of their operation. The proposed uses include
washing, fueling, maintenance and storage. The lot is
vacant except at the time of the field inspection there were
several autos parked on it.
The property abuts "1-2" zoning on two sides and there are
large areas of industrial zoning to the northeast and
southwest. Other zoning in the general area includes "R-3,"
"R-41" "C-1" and "C-3." Land use is single family,
multifamily, a large daycare center and several industrial
operations. Throughout the neighborhood, there are vacant
lots and some of the industrial land is undeveloped.
The Central City District Plan iidentifies the site under
consideration for industrial use so the requested "1-2"
reclassification conforms to the plan. Adding such a small
parcel to the industrial zoning should not have an affect on
the immediate vicinity and Staff supports the rezoning. The
111-2" district requires screening and some buffing so that
should help minimize any potential impacts from the
reclassification.
