ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Dedicate right-of-way for Asher 45 feet from centerline.
This Principal Arterial has a reduced right-of-way
requirement of 90 feet versus the normal 110 feet of right-
of-way for Principal Arterials. Dedicate a 20 radial area
at intersection. With construction widen Asher to 30 feet
from centerline and construct sidewalk with appropriate
ramps and relocate City owned utilities. Improve corner
turn radius to 31.5 feet. Driveways are limited to 100 feet
from intersection per City Ordinance. An SFHA Development
permit is required prior to any construction.
Driveways, drainage, on Asher will require City then AHTD
approval. Stormwater detention will need to be addressed at
construction. 1992 traffic count is 24,550.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this 1.7±
acre site from 11C-3" General Commercial to "I-2" Light
Industrial. The property contains a vacant, 16,000 square
foot metal warehouse building. The remainder of the site is
paved. The applicant proposes to develop the property for
use by an auto paint and body shop and other unspecified
light industrial uses. The request conforms to the I-630
District Land Use Plan which recommends Industrial for the
site.
At one time, this site and the block across Adams Street to
the east were occupied by a lumber and building supplies
company. This site has been unoccupied since the lumber
company vacated the site several years ago. In early 1994,
this portion of the former lumber company property was
rezoned from I-2 to C-3 to allow for development of the site
for a private club. That venture never developed and the
site has continued to sit vacant.
The I-2 zoning request conforms to the adopted Plan and is
not out of character with other zoning and uses in the area.
On the south side of this portion of Asher Avenue, the
primary zoning is I-2 and I-3 with uses ranging from tire
and body shops to large warehousing facilities. The
properties on the north side of Asher Avenue are zoned C-3
and I-2 and contain a variety of uses, primarily auto
related.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested I-2 zoning.
