ENGINEERING COMMENTS
The city recently purchased radial areas for turn radii at
the intersections for planned construction of Mabelvale Cut -
Off. However, the City only purchases ROW required to
construct, but when an applicant is requesting the rezoning,
then the applicant is asked to dedicate Master Street Plan
right-of-way. Dedicate right-of-way for Mabelvale Cut -Off
to 45 feet from centerline. Dedicate 5 feet of right-of-way
for Stillman Road and Peel Street, both will be considered
commercial streets due to zoning. Dedicate a 20 foot radial
dedication on each street intersection. Construct 24 foot
wide asphalt drive with concrete apron and paving to
accommodate the employees and customers.
LAND E ELEMENT
The site is located in the Geyer Springs West District. The
adopted Land Use Plan recommends Single Family use. The
proposal is for a beauty shop. Due to the orientation of
the structure and uses across Mabelvale Cutoff Road and
Stillman Drive, Staff believes it is appropriate to change

the Plan to Mixed Use. This category allows Office or
Commercial uses which maintain character compatible with
single family. That is they must be "comfortable"
neighbors. With a Planned Development, the use could meet
the Mixed Use requirements.
,STAFF ANA.LYS I S
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .30±
acre site from R-2 to C-1. The purpose behind the rezoning
is to allow for the use of the existing, one-story brick
structure on the property as a 7 chair beauty shop.
This property was annexed to the City in late 1980 and has
had a history of occupancy by various nonresidential uses
since that time. The past uses have included a real estate
office, construction company, beauty salon and an ambulance
station. The applicant is currently operating a beauty
salon in the structure.
Although the site has a history of use as non-residential,
the property is still zoned -IR -2-1 Single Family and the
Geyer Springs West District Land Use Plan recommends Single
Family use.
Due to this history of non-residential use and the location
of other non-residential uses in proximity to this site,
staff believes it is appropriate to amend the Land Use Plan
for this site to Mixed use. The mixed use designation
allows Office or Commercial uses which maintain a character
which is compatible with single family neighborhoods. With
a Planned Development, assuring the continued use of this
residential style structure as a beauty shop, the use could
meet the Mixed use requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that this application be amended to a PD -O,
allowing the use of this existing structure as a 7 chair
beauty shop. Staff recommends that the Commission approve
the amended PD -O application and accept the survey/site plan
submitted with this application, with the changes required
by the City Engineers Office.

application to a Planned Development - Office to allow for
the use of the existing structure and site as a seven chair
beauty shop. Staff recommended that the Commission approve
the amended PD -0 application and accept the survey/site plan
submitted with the application, with the changes required by
the City Engineer's office. Staff also recommended approval
of an amendment to the Geyer Springs West District Land Use
Plan, changing the plan from Single Family residential to
Mixed Use for this site.
Tony Bozynski, Planning Manager for the Department of
Neighborhoods and Planning, stated that staff viewed the
proposed land use change as very minor. He recommended that
the Land Use Plan be changed to Mixed Use for this site.
Acting Chairperson Diane Chachere noted that she had a card
from John Lamb who desired to speak about the issue. Mr. Lamb
was no longer present, having left the meeting earlier.
Dian Hicks addressed the Commission. She stated that Mr. Lamb
had expressed his support for the proposed beauty shop.
The amended PD -0 application, site plan and Land Use Plan
amendment were brought to a vote. The vote was 8 ayes,
0 noes and 3 absent.
