Request:
James T. Thompson
Same
4819 Baseline Road
Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3"
Purpose: Office or commercial
Size: 0.69 acres
Existing Use: Single family
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Office and commercial, zoned "R-2" and "C-3"
South - Single family, zoned "R-2"
East - Single family, zoned "R-2"
West - Single family, zoned "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The property in question is located in the 4800 block of
West Baseline Road which is approximately three-quarters of
a mile east of Geyer Springs Road. The request is to rezone
the parcel from "R-2" to "C-3". The property is currently
occupied by a single family residence with an accessory
building, and the proposal is to utilize the land for either
an office or commercial use in the future. The site has
102 feet of frontage on Baseline Road so it does lend itself
to some type of nonresidential use.
This section of Baseline was annexed into the City several
years ago so a majority of the land is still zoned "R-2"
with a high percentage of nonconforming uses. Some of the
uses found in the area are single family, office, private
school, church, auto services and various retail
establishments. In addition to the "R-2" zoning, there are
two tracts zoned "C-3" along Baseline and an 110-3" parcel on
Stanton Road.

Item No. 9 Z--522.5 (Con_t__.p.�_e.d.)-...- ----
On the land use plan for the area, Geyer Springs East, the
south side of Baseline Road between Sunset Lane and Reck
Road is identified for commercial use so the proposed
commercial reclassification conforms to the adopted plan.
Even though the two adjoining lots are zoned "R-2" with
single family uses, the "C-3" rezoning should not have any
adverse impacts on them because of the existing development
pattern which has been established for a number of years.
The property directly to the west abuts a "C-3" tract of
land, and there has not been any noticeable affect on the
single family residence.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
None reported.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the "C-3" zoning as requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (October 3, 1989)
