Owner:
Applicant:
Location:
Request:
Purpose:
Size:
David Monkus and Virgil Smith
Same/Allan Graham
11010 Interstate 30
Rezone from "R-2" to "C-4"
Auto sales
2.1 acres
Existing Use: Auto sales
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant and industrial, zoned "R-2"
South - 1-30 right-of-way, zoned "R-2"
East - Vacant, zoned "R-2"
West - Vacant and cemetery, zoned "R-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
This request was filed because of an enforcement action by
the City against the property. The land is zoned "R-2" but
had a commercial use on it at one time, and nonconforming
status for "C-3" uses. The owners assumed that the site was
zoned for any type of commercial use and leased the property
to the current user, an auto sales lot. There is one
building on the two acres that is being used as the office
and the area adjacent to the 1-30 frontage road is being
used for display. The rear portion of the acreage has
nothing on it at this time.
On the north side of 1-30, all the land is still zoned
"R-211. A rezoning request ("C-4" and "1-2") has been acted
on by the Planning Commission for 12.6 acres to the east and
north. However, the rezoning has not been finalized by the
Board of Directors because the dedication of additional
right-of-way has not been completed. South of 1-30, the
existing zoning is "R-2" and "1-2". Land use found on both
sides of 1-30 is either residential or industrial. A high
percentage of the land is still undeveloped and directly
west of the property under consideration, there is a
cemetery.

Item No. 6 - Z-5255 (Continued)
The Otter Creek District Plan suggests a "mixed office/
commercial" pattern for the north side of 1-30. Staff feels
that a 11C-4" reclassification is compatible with the plan's
direction and supports the request. The acreage to the east
will be zoned 110-4" once the right-of-way dedication is
completed, so the proposed rezoning is consistent with other
actions in the area. Over the years, the City has endorsed
a zoning configuration of "C-3", 11C-4" and "1-2" for the
properties that front 1-30. Therefore, the proposed zoning
change is in keeping with established policy for the 1-30
corridor.
The only issues associated with the request have to do with
site improvements and the "C-4" development criteria. If
the property is rezoned to "C-411, landscaping will be
required and the area being used for display of vehicles
will need to be paved. Also, any servicing of vehicles
shall be done within an enclosed building.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Dedication of additional right-of-way will be required for
Sibley Hole Road because the existing right-of-way is
deficient.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the 11C-4" rezoning as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (November 14, 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 11C-4" rezoning request. The
motion was approved by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 nays and
0 absent.
