Toll 4800 South Shackleford Rezone from R-2 to I-2 Wholesale Nursery 7.26 acres Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING North - Industrial, zoned R-2 South - Vacant, zoned R-2 East - Vacant, zoned I-1 West - Vacant, zoned R-2 STAFF ANALYSIS The request for 4800 South Shackleford is to rezone the site from R-2 to I-2 for a wholesale plant nursery. Currently, there are two structures on the property, with a majority of the site undeveloped. -The PAGIS land use map shows one to be a residence and the other building to be used for nonresidential purposes. The site under consideration has approximately 670 feet of frontage on South Shackleford. Zoning in the area is R-2, I-1, I-2, OS and PCD. The property in question abuts R-2 land on three sides and directly across Shackleford the zoning is I-1. Just to the north of the I-1 on the east side of Shackleford, a tract of land was recently reclassified to PCD for mini -storage units. Land use includes single family, industrial and an auto salvage yard. The existing industrial uses include a milk producing facility, warehousing, some light manufacturing and a contractor's storage yard. The single family residences are found on unplatted tracts and within a developed subdivision. A high percentage of the land in the immediate vicinity is still vacant. The adopted plan, 65th Street West, recognizes a large area along South Shackleford for light industrial uses/development. Therefore, some type of industrial reclassifications is appropriate for the seven acres. Because the most recent industrial reclassifications have been to I-1, staff's position is that the existing pattern should be reinforced by rezoning the site in question to February 22, 1994 ITEM NO.: 2-5785 Cont. I-1. I-1 is consistent with the established zoning for Shackleford and maintains the plan's concept for a light industrial area. (Wholesale plant nurseries are permitted by -right in the I-1 district.) I-1 is a site plan review district, which means the Planning Commission must approve a site plan prior to any permits being issued for the property. Also, the following development criteria applies to I-1. (1) All properties within this district shall be contiguous and shall be totally developed under a unified site plan submitted to and approved by the planning commission. Criteria for submittal of the accompanying site plan shall follow the guidelines set forth in this chapter. (2) Every use, or any part thereof, that is not conducted within a building completely enclosed on all sides shall be enclosed within a wall or fence six (6) feet in height. Such wall or fence six (6) feet in height. Such wall or fence shall completely screen all operations conducted within such wall or fence from observation. No exterior storage area shall encroach into any of the required yards. (3) All buildings shown on the required site plan shall cover an aggregate area of not more than fifty (50) percent of such site. (4) No loading or storage of materials or products shall be permitted in the required front yard. (5) Notwithstanding the yard regulations for this district, no part of any building or accessory structure shall be located closer than one hundred (100) feet to any residential district boundary. LAND ❑SE PLAN ELEMENT The site in question is located in the 65th Street West District. The plan recommends Light Industrial uses. ENGINEERING COMMENTS Shackleford is a minor arterial and the existing right-of-way is deficient. Dedication of additional land area will be required for a total right-of-way of 45 feet from the centerline. February 22, 1994 ITEM N 2 Z-578(Cont.) STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff.recommends approval of I-1 for the property, and not the requested I-2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (FEBRUARY 22, 1994) The applicant, Richard Toll, was present. There were no objectors in attendance. Mr. Toll discussed his application and said he requested I-2 because I-2 permits lots as small as 14,000 square feet and he would like to develop the acreage for multiple users and sell some of the lots. Mr. Toll reminded the Commission that I-1 requires one acre lots, and there were a number of small user that would like to own their own building, but did not need an acre of land. Mr. Toll said that the smaller lot size was his primary reason for requesting I-2. Staff offered some comments about the I-2 and I-1 districts. Richard Toll spoke again and asked some questions about platting the land and creating small lots, less than one acre. Staff responded by saying that a plat, with variances, could be filed. Mr. Toll continued and said he envisioned some one acre lots, but he would like to have the flexibility of platting smaller lots to accommodate certain users. Staff indicated that they could probably support a plat that had a combination of lot sizes, with the substandard lots equaling 20% to 30% of the total. After some additional discussion, Mr. Toll agreed to amending the request to I-1. A motion was made to recommend approval of the amended request to I-1. The motion passed by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent and 1 open position. 3 4 uz,--5 " a-e�--F w4w 14�4f T:5 Tl
