STAFF ANALYSIS
The request under consideration is to rezone the southeast
corner of I-30 and Stanton from R-2 to C-4. At this time,
the site is vacant and the proposal is to develop the
property for office warehouse and retail uses. (C-4 allows
both uses by right.) The site has 135 feet of frontage on
Stanton Road and approximately 652 feet along the I-30
service road.
Zoning is a mixture of R-2, R-5, MF -12, 0-3, C-3 and I-2.
The property abuts R-2 on the south and I-2 on the east
side. The most recent reclassification in the area was to
I-2 and involved land directly to the east. Land use in the
general vicinity is made up of single family, mobile home
parks, office, commercial, a church and industrial. Some of
the properties are undeveloped, including the I-2 parcel to
the east. Because the area was annexed to the City, a
number of the uses are still nonconforming and there is no
established land use pattern along either Stanton Road or
Doyle Springs Road.
Over the years, the City has endorsed a combination of C-3,
C-4 and I-2 along the majority of I-30. Therefore, the
proposed C-4 reclassification is consistent with the zoning
established for properties fronting I-30. In the immediate
area, the existing zoning already includes C-3 and I-2.

ITEM NO.: 1 Z-5571 Cont.
The Geyer Springs East Plan shows the site as part of
off ice/industrial area which extends from Doyle Springs Road
to west of National Drive. Because of existing zoning,
staff feels that a C-4 rezoning is appropriate for the
location, and will not significantly modify the plan's basic
direction. Also, it appears that C-4 will only have a
minimal impact, if any, on the surrounding properties, if
the C-4 is granted.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
1. Stanton Road is classified as a collector and the
right-of-way standard is 30 feet from the centerline.
Dedication of additional right -a€ -way will be needed.
2. Any building permit will require all street
improvements and the development will have to comply
with the Detention and Excavation Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the C-4 rezoning request.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 14, 1992)
The applicant was present. There was one interested
resident in attendance and she expressed some concerns about
traffic. Staff described the proposed development and said
it would probably generate some additional traffic in the
area.
After some additional comments, it was decided to leave the
item on the Consent Agenda. The Planning Commission voted
9 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent and 1 abstention (Kathleen Oleson)
to recommend approval of the C-4 rezoning request.
