SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:

South - Vacant and Single family, zoned "C-3"
East - Commercial/Industrial, zoned "R-2" and "I-2"
West - Commercial, zoned "C-31"
STAFF ANALYSIS
The property in question is zoned "R-2" and occupied by
several non -conforming uses, including auto sales, truck
repair and an animal clinic. Due to the nature or the types
of uses, a rezoning to "I-21" has been requested for the 4.2
acres. There is approximately 10 structures on the
property, and the acreage has frontage on both Baseline Road
and the I-30 frontage road-.
Land use in the general area is a combination of single-
famil,y, multi -family, commercial and industrial, with the
residential uses found on the south side of Baseline Road.
Zoning is "R-211, "C-311, "I-2", and PID.
The property in question is the only remaining "1R-21" tract
between I-30 and Baseline Road in that immediate vicinity.
The highest percentage of "R-2" is situated south of
Baseline Road and north of I-30. Several of the "C-31' and
"I-2" tracts are undeveloped at this time.
Geyer Springs West is the planning document which covers the
area under consideration. The adopted land use plan shows
the site for "pari./open space" use. It appears that this

land use designation was determined to the most appropriate
because of the need for public open space in the area, and
the land has minor water ways on the east and west sides.
The site is not identified on the Master Parks Plan as any
type of park facility.
Because of the existing development on the property and in
the area, staff is of the opinion that the land use plan is
somewhat unrealistic. With "I-2" abutting the site on the
east side, "C-3" on the west and the Interstate to the
north, an "I-2" reclassification is a reasonable option for
the property. Rezoning the -4.2 acres should not have any
adverse impact on the existing development found in the
area. Locating a park south of Baseline Road is more
desirable and it would be more accessible to the established
residential neighborhood.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Baseline Road is principal arterial and the existing right-
of-way deficient. The right-of-way standard is 90 feet, or
45 feet from the center line.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the "1-2" rezoning as
requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (July 31,1990)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors and the
request was placed on the consent agenda. A motion was made
to recommend approval of the "I-2" rezoning as filed. The
motion was approved by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, and 3
absent.
