4023 Baseline Road is zoned R-2, and the request is to
rezone the lot to 0-3. The proposal is to utilize the
property for a professional office, an accountant, and as a
single family residence. At this time, there is a house and
two accessory structures on the property. The site has
105 feet of frontage on Baseline and a depth of
approximately 410 feet. This location on Baseline is
situated between Hilaro Springs Road and Reck Road.
Zoning in the general vicinity is primarily R-2. On the
north side of Baseline, there is a C-4 site and a large area
of 0-3 and I-2. The property in question abuts R-2 on all
sides. The land use is more mixed than the zoning and
includes single family, multifamily, mobile home parks,
office, commercial, industrial and an elementary school.
Along this portion of Baseline, there are a number of
nonconforming uses which range from multifamily to auto
repair. This is especially true for the properties west of
4023 Baseline Road. Directly to the west is a nonconforming
commercial use.
Even though the immediate area is still zoned R-2, the land
use pattern has been influenced by the amount of
nonconforming uses. Based on a wind shield survey of the
neighborhood, it appears that the residential and
nonresidential uses are co -existing and that some type of
office reclassification is a reasonable zoning option for

the property. Because of the existing residences,
especially along Bruno Road, staff feels that 0-1 for the
north 160 feet is more appropriate for the site. In the 0-1
district, both single family residences and professional
offices are byright uses; 0-3 does not permit single family
residences. An 0-1 rezoning will allow a minor
nonresidential intrusion into the block without impacting
the residential properties, and should not create any
precedent for future rezonings.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site is in the Geyer Springs East Planning District.
The plan recommends mixed residential. The pattern
generally is mixed residential with a few nonconforming
businesses. At this time, staff does not recommend changing
the plan.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
There are none to be reported.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of 0-1 for a depth of 160 feet and
not 0-3 as requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (NOVEMBER 30, 1993)
The applicant, Don Cobb, was present. There were no
objectors. Mr. Cobb agreed with the staff's recommendation
and amended the request to 0-1 for the north 160 feet of the
lot. The item was then added to the Consent Agenda.
As part of the Consent Agenda, the Planning Commission voted
to recommend approval of the amended request to 0-1. The
vote was 9 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent and 1 open position.
