STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone 3.3 acres on Geyer Springs Road
from "R-2" to 110-3" for future development. To the south,
there is an existing funeral home and the plan is to rezone
the site under consideration to accommodate the need for any
long-term expansion. The property is currently vacant and
wooded.
Zoning in the general area includes "R-2," "R-4," "R-5,"
"0-1," 110-3," "C-1" and PCD. The property in question abuts
110-1" on the north, "R-2" to the west and a PCD tract is
located to the south. Across Geyer Springs Road, the land
is zoned "R-2" and is the site of McClellan High School.
Other land uses found in the neighborhood are single family,
multifamily, a church, office, commercial and a private
school which is located directly to the north. Several
sites are vacant including a large tract situated south of
the existing funeral home.
The site is within the Geyer Springs West District Plan area
and the land use plan identifies the property for office
use. On the plan, the land from Queensboro to the south
line of the PCD and from Geyer Springs Road to the
residential subdivision on the west is shown for office
development.

Item No. 4 - Z-5143 (Continued) _
Staff's position is that the proposed 110-3" reclassification
conforms to the adopted plan and supports the rezoning
request. Because of the residential neighborhood, Staff
recommends that the western 100 feet be rezoned to OS to
provide an adequate buffer and additional protection for the
residences.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Engineering reports that the right-of-way requirement for
Geyer Springs Road at this point is 40 feet from the center
line with a ten foot construction easement. It appears that
the 40 foot right-of-way is in place but it needs to be re-
affirmed through this rezoning action by providing the
necessary documentation, an easement deed. The ten foot
construction easement will expire at the completion of the
improvement project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the "0-3" rezoning with a
100 foot OS area adjacent to the west property line.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (March 7, 1989)
The applicant was present and agreed to a 100 foot "OS"
strip adjacent to the west property line. There were no
objectors in attendance and the item'was placed on the
Consent Agenda. A motion was made to recommend approval of
the "0-3" rezoning with the 100 foot "OS" area as amended.
The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 nays and 2 absent.
