LAND ❑SE ELEMENT
The site is located in the Geyer Springs West District. The
Land Use Plan recommends Commercial use. The request is in
conformance with the Plan.
The request before the Planning Commission is to rezone this
0.2 acre site from R-2 to C-3. The property is currently
occupied by an oil change/fast lube service which has been
on the site since its annexation into the City in 1985. At
July 11., 1995
ITEM NO.: Z-5002 nt.
the time the property was annexed, it was zoned R-2, making
the use non -conforming. The applicant desires to rezone the
property to C-3 which would bring the business into
conformity. No other development is proposed at this time.
The requested C-3 zoning complies with the land use plan
which recommends commercial use for this site. The existing
zoning and land use in the area is extremely mixed, owing in
part to this area's development prior to annexation. This
area is intensely developed with uses ranging from a few
single family homes to large commercial shopping centers.
Rezoning this non -conforming site to C-3 is in compliance
with the land use plan and should have no impact on the
surrounding properties. Staff is supportive of the rezoning
request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the C-3 rezoning request.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(JULY 11, 1995)
(There was no quorum present on July 11, 1995 and this item
was moved to the July 25, 1995 Planning Commission hearing.)
The applicant, Ronald Davis, was present. There were no
objectors present. Staff presented the item and a
recommendation of approval. The item had been pulled from
the Consent Agenda because the applicant desired to talk
about the requirement to dedicate additional right-of-way
for Baseline Road.
Dana Carney, of the Planning Staff, informed the Commission
that the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department did
not acquire sufficient right-of-way to comply with the
City's Master Street Plan at the time Baseline Road was
widened. As such, an additional 5 feet of right-of-way is
required from the applicant. Mr. Carney reminded the
Commission that the issue before them was the
reclassification of the property and any waiver of the
Master Street Plan standards could only be granted by the
Board of Directors.
Mr. Davis asked what the chances were of him getting a
waiver of the right-of-way requirement. Commissioner Putnam
responded that it was an issue for the Board of Directors to
decide.
David Scherer, of the Public Works Department, briefly
discussed the right-of-way requirement.
