Ken Golden
Same by James Henson
6800 Interstate 30
Rezone from 11I-2" to "C-311.
Church and school
1.9 acres
Existing Use: Church and school
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant, office and industrial, zoned 11I-2"
South - Industrial, zoned 11I-2"
East - I-30 right of way, zoned 11I-2"
West - Industrial, zoned 11I-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
This request is before the Planning Commission because of an
enforcement action against the current use, a private
school. In the 11I-2" District, public or denominational
schools are not listed as a permitted use so the school was
instructed to file for the appropriate zoning classification
or vacate the property. Staff suggested 11C-3" because of
previous City actions endorsing a mixed zoning pattern along
certain segments of I-30 and because it allows schools.
Land use in the general area is primarily industrial but
there are also some office and commercial uses found in the
vicinity. Across West 68th Street, there is an office
equipment sales and service operation which is permitted in
"C-3". Some of the land is still undeveloped, especially
east of I-30. Zoning throughout the entire area is 11I-211.
The adopted plan, 65th Street East, reflects the existing
zoning and shows an industrial land use pattern for the
area. Staff's position is that a 11C-3" reclassification is
a reasonable option for the property and supports the

rezoning request. A "C-3" tract of land should not have any
effect on the surrounding properties nor alter the direction
of the land use plan. It is not uncommon to have
commercially zoned properties throughout a large industrial
area to accommodate a variety of uses.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
None reported.
