STAFF ANALYSIS
This issue is before the Planning Commission as the result
of an enforcement action by the City. The property is zoned
R-2 and is being used as an office and parking area for the
trucking company located directly to the west. The same
individuals own both tracts. After some discussion with the
owner, staff suggested rezoning the site to I-2 because of
the property being utilized by the trucking firm. Right
now, the parking is for cars, however, the current use could
change in the future and I-2 is an appropriate district for
a trucking operation.
Zoning in the general vicinity includes R-2, C-3, C-4 and
I-2. The property in question abuts R-2 and I-2 parcels.
The most recent rezoning was to I-2 and it involved a
nonconforming industrial use to the west, along the service
road. Land use is a combination of single family,
commercial, industrial, a church and a mobile home park.
The existing single family residences are restricted to
Mabelvale Pike and the I-30 frontage road is primarily a
mixture of commercial and industrial uses.
Over the years, the City has endorsed a zoning pattern of
C-3, C-4 and I-2 for a majority of I-30, as this segment of
the interstate confirms. Therefore, I-2 is a reasonable

option for the site. An industrial reclassification should
not have an adverse impact on any of the surrounding
properties.
In 1991, several plan amendments to "mixed
commercial/industrial" designation were approved for lands
on both sides of I-30. One change was done in conjunction
with the rezoning to I-2 of the site identified by Z-5415
and included a "PID required for industrial use" area. The
PID designation involves several tracts that front the
service road and Mabelvale Pike, and it was done to offer
additional protection for the residences on Mabelvale Pike.
It appears that the property under consideration is west of
the PID line and because of its location, staff feels that
a PID for the office use is not necessary.
