STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .51±
acre tract from "R-2" Single Family to "0-3" General Office.
The property currently contains a vacant single-family
residential structure and an accessory building. The
residential structure was previously occupied by a day-care
center. The applicant plans to remove the existing
structures and build in their place a new office building.
The Board of Adjustment is scheduled to review a setback
variance request related to construction of the proposed
office building at its November 25, 1996 meeting.
The property is located in a rapidly developing area of new
office and commercial uses. A new, five story medical
office building is being built on the 0-3 zoned property to
the north of this site. The properties adjacent to the
north and west were recently rezoned from R-2 to 0-3 in
conjunction with the five story office building. Pinnacle
Point Hospital is located on the large tract of C-3 zoned
property to the northeast and Kidsport, a new
daycare/gymnasium development, is located on the POD zoned
property across Autumn Road to the east. A single family
residence is located adjacent to the south and an area of 0-
3 zoning extends beyond that to Kanis Road.
The I-430 District Land Use Plan recommends Mixed Office
Commercial for the bulk of this tract and Commercial for the
northern one-third. The 0-3 rezoning request conforms to
the adopted Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested 0-3 rezoning. The
request conforms to the adopted Land Use Plan.
