STAFF ANALYSIS
The request for the northeast corner of Stagecoach and
Baseline is to rezone the site from R-2 to C-3 for an
unspecified commercial. The property is vacant and has
450 feet of frontage on Baseline and 610 feet along
Stagecoach Road. Fourche Creek is the east property line and
there is some floodway involvement on the site. (Item A on
this agenda involves land situated directly north of this
request.)
Zoning of the nearby properties includes R-2, C-2 and C-3.
Currently, the three other corners at the intersection of
Stagecoach and Baseline are all zoned C-3. Other commercial
zoning is found to the west on Baseline and at Stagecoach and
Crystal Valley. Land use found in the area is single family
and commercial. Vacant land is quite common in the general
vicinity, especially east of Stagecoach Road because of
Fourche Creek and the wetlands.
The Otter Creek District Plan and its land use element shows
the property as part of a small industrial area. The other
corners of the Stagecoach/Baseline intersection are
identified as neighborhood commercial. A large portion of
the land area to the east of Stagecoach is classified as
floodway on the plan. It is the staff's position that a C-3
reclassification of the site is not a major deviation from

the plan's recommended land use pattern for the intersection,
and maintains the plan's general concept. Reclassifying the
area outside the floodway to C-3 conforms to the tenor
established by the other three corners and will not impact
any of the surrounding properties.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
1. Additional right-of-way dedication is required for
Baseline and Stagecoach Roads. The Master Street Plan
standard for both roads is 55 feet from the centerline.
2. A 50 foot radius is needed on the corner.
3. The established floodway needs to be zoned OS and
dedicated to the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of C-3 and OS for the floodway
area.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MARCH 10, 1992)
Joe White, the applicant, was present. There were no
objectors. Mr. White spoke briefly and agreed to OS
zoning for the floodway and dedicating it.
A motion was made to recommend approval of C-3 and OS as
amended. The motion was approved by a vote of 11 ayes,
0 nays and 0 absent.
