South - Office, zoned 'R-2"
East - RV Trailer Part-.., zoned "R-2"
West - Commercial, zo.;ed "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Currently on the property under consideration, there is a
nonconforming use, a computer sales and service business,
and the owner wants to add onto the existing building.
Because the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the expansion of
nonconforming uses, a rezoning change must first be approved
before the new construction can be initiated. To accomplish
the proposed addition, the owner has filed a "R-2" to "C-3"
rezoning request.
The area in question is just south of 1-30 and the land use
pattern is mixed. Existing uses include commercial, auto
sales, a RV trailer park, two motels and a major industrial
operation. Several of the tracts are undeveloped and some
of the uses are nonconforming. Zoning found in the area is
"R-2," "MF -18," "C-4" and "1-2."
The adopted district plan, Geyer Springs West, shows the
general area for commercial use. Therefore, the requested
rezoning conforms to the plan. In the past, the City has
supported either "C-3" or "C-4" for designated commercial
areas along the 1-30 frontage so the proposed reclassifica-
tion maintains the land use/zoning concept for the corridor.
