SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:

South - Vacant, zoned "R-2"
East - Vacant, zoned "R-2" and "C-3"
West - Industrial, zoned "1-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
This request was filed after the owner attempted to secure a
building permit which was denied because of the "R-2"
zoning. The proposal is to make an addition to an existing
building that fronts on Western Hills Avenue and add some
parking spaces. A portion of the proposed construction
along with some of the new parking area encroaches into the
existing "R-2" area and before the building permit can be
issued, an 111-2" rezoning must be granted. The addition is
approximately 60' x 120' and, based on the site plan, it
appears that about 30 feet of it is in the "R-2" area.
Zoning is mixed in the vicinity and includes "R-2," "R-3,"
"MF -12," "0-21" "C-3," "C-4" and "1-2" with the property in
question abutting "R-2." "C-3" and 111-2." Land use is made
up of residential, commercial, industrial and a daycare
center. There are two public facilities nearby, an
elementary school and a post office branch on Asher Avenue.
Some of the land is still vacant, and to the south on
Western Hills there is a golf course. Expanding the
industrial zoning at this location should not effect any of
the surrounding properties and Staff supports the "1-2"
reclassification. Along the southern property line there is
a heavily wooded area that will remain so the "R-2" land
will be buffered and the rezoning should not have any impact
on it.
