STAFF ANALYSI Deltic Timber Corporation, owner of the 2.75 acre property located west of 17901 Chenal Parkway, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District and "OS" Open Space District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The property is located near the northwest corner of Chenal Parkway and Rahling Road. The rezoning is proposed in order to incorporate the property into the existing adjacent C-3 zoned property for future development. The property is currently undeveloped and mostly tree -covered. The existing C-3 zoned property to the south is also undeveloped. Undeveloped property, a golf course and single family residences are located to the north. A large commercial development is located across Rahling Road to the south. A bank and multifamily development are located to the east along Chenal Parkway. Undeveloped property and single family residences are located to the east. The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial and Residential Low Density. Given the facts that the land use plan is general in nature and that the Commercial/Residential Low Density designations split the property, the requested C-3 zoning will not require an amendment to the plan. 2 FILE NO.: Z -5936-M Cont. Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 rezoning. Staff views the request as reasonable. The property is comprised of 2.75 acres and will be incorporated into the existing C-3 zoned property to the south/southeast for future development.
