Applicant: Essa Alley Location: 8023 1-30 Request: Rezone from 11R-2" to "1-2" Purpose: Industrial Size: 1.0 acre Existing Use: Industrial (nonconforming) SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Interstate 30 right-of-way, zoned "R-2" South - Single family, zoned "R-2" East - Office, zoned "C-3" West - Industrial, zoned "1-2" STAFF ANALYSIS: The property at 8023 1-30 is occupied by a nonconforming industrial use and the request is to rezone the site from "R-2" to "1-2." The plans are to make an addition to the existing building but since the zoning ordinance prohibits expansion of nonconforming uses, a rezoning to the appropriate district must first be granted prior to a building permit being issued. "1-2" is needed in this situation because the existing use is a wholesale and warehousing operation. There is only one structure on the site with accompanying driveways and necessary parking areas. Land use in the general vicinity is single family, a mobile home park, office, commercial, industrial and several vacant parcels. Directly to the south there is a single family subdivision and on the east side, there is an office use. To the west, the land is currently undeveloped. Adjacent zoning is "R-2," "C-3" and "1-2." Other zoning in the area includes "MF -12," "R-5" and "0-3" which is all located on July 11, 1989 Item No. 8 - Z-5207 (Continued) the north side of 1-30. The "1-2" area to the west is a mix of office and industrial uses with the State Department of Pollution Control and Ecology being a major user on National Drive. Along Stanton Road the land use pattern is mixed because a majority of land was developed before being annexed to the City. The Geyer Springs East Plan identifies the properties fronting 1-30 for a mix of office and -industrial uses so the 111-2" rezoning conforms to the recommended land use plan. There are no outstanding issues and Staff supports the industrial reclassification. ENGINEERING COMMENTS: None reported. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the 111-2" request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (July 11, 1989) The applicant was present. There were no objectors and the item was placed on the consent agenda. A motion was made to recommend approval of the 111-2" rezoning. The motion was approved by a vote 6 ayes, 0 nays and 5 absent.
