Item No. E - Z-5216
Owner: Charlotte E. Steel, Robert B. Smith
and Charles Smith
Applicant: James E. Echols
Location: Stagecoach Road and Shackleford
Road
Request: Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3"
Purpose: Lawn mower sales and repair
Size: 3.66 acres
Existing Use: Vacant and residential
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant and single family, zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, zoned "R-2"
East - Single family and commercial, zoned "R-2"
West - Vacant, zoned "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone 3.6 acres at Shackleford Road and
Stagecoach Road (Highway No. 5) from "R-2" to "C-3" for lawn
mower sales and repair. Because of the repair aspect of the
proposed use, a conditional use permit will also be needed
to allow the small engine repair. "C-3" permits the retail
sales of equipment but not repair or outside display of the
merchandise.
The site is located in an area that is zoned "R-2" with one
exception. To the north, there is an 110-3" tract that was
rezoned several years ago. The current use of the "0-3"
site is an engineering office and testing lab. Other uses
found in the vicinity are single family residences, a
church, a small commercial use, salvage yard and storage of
vehicles for a repossession company. All the commercial and
industrial uses are nonconforming. A high percentage of the
land is still undeveloped, especially along Shackleford Road
and Herndon Road.
The land use element for this area is the 65th Street West
District Plan which shows the property in question for
continued residential use. Further to the north on

Shackleford 'Road there is a large area identified for
multifamily use that extends for over one-half mile. Along
Stagecoach Road, most of the land is shown for residential
use which recognizes the existing development. There are
also several nonresidential areas that the plan recommends
for public/institutional and neighborhood commercial uses.
One of the neighborhood commercial areas is situated to the
southwest and is the location of several small commercial
uses, all of which are nonconforming. The other commercial
area is located on the east side of Stagecoach Road directly
across from where Shackleford intersects Stagecoach and is
the larger of the two recommended commercial areas.
When the plan was first developed, a commercial area was
placed on the east side of Stagecoach because of a proposed
street on the Master Street Plan which extended West 65th
Street to the west and connected it with Stagecoach at the
existing Shackleford intersection. It was determined that
the east side was more appropriate for commercial
development because of several existing uses and the
proposed street.
The current Master Street Plan does not show the extension
of West 65th Street, nor any other road alignment
intersecting Stagecoach Road from the east. Because of this
and some other factors, Staff is of the opinion that a
re-evaluation of the Plan's direction and commercial
placement may be justified at this time. With Shackleford
being the only intersection of the street, a review of the
Plan could suggest a re -orientation of the commercial area
to the west side of Stagecoach Road.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Stagecoach Road (Highway No. 5) is classified as a principal
arterial which requires a right-of-way of 110 feet.
Shackleford Road is identified as a minor arterial and has a
right-of-way standard of 90 feet. It appears that some
additional right-of-way dedication will be required through
this rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the item be deferred to allow for
additional study of the Plan's recommended land use pattern
for the Stagecoach Road/Shackleford Road intersection.
