STAFF ANALYSIS The request before the Commission is to rezone this 2.34 acre tract located at 3818 Baseline Road from "R-2" Single Family to 110-3" General Office.- The property has 170 feet of frontage on Baseline Road and is approximately 600 feet deep. The applicant's home is located on the northern end April 25, 1996 SUBDIVISIO ITEM NO.: 22 Z-6110 (Cont.3 of the tract. The remainder of the property is vacant. No specific development is proposed for the site should the 0-3 request be approved. The property is located in area which is primarily zoned R- 2, although there are many nonconforming uses in close proximity. To the north and northeast of the site are several nonconforming mobile home parks. Across Baseline Road to the south is a large area of single family homes with some nonconforming businesses fronting onto Baseline. The R-2 zoned property adjacent to the west is occupied by a vacant building which formerly contained a business. Adjacent to the east are several single family homes, three of which are zoned R-2 and one which recently was zoned 0-3. A large area of vacant, 0-3 zoned property is located on the north side of Baseline Road, approximately 1 block west of the site. At the time the property adjacent to the east was rezoned 0- 3, the Geyer Springs East District Land Use Plan was amended to show Office use for the first 200 feet of properties fronting onto Baseline Road, west of Community Road. A portion of the applicant's property was included in the Plan amendment. This new plan amendment would support the requested 0-3 reclassification for the southern 200 feet of the applicant's property; that portion closest to Baseline. The remaining 400 feet to the north is shown as Mixed Residential. Staff cannot support further changes to the Plan at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of 0-3 zoning for only the southern 200 feet of this site as supported by the adopted Land Use Plan. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (APRIL 25, 1996) The applicant, Mrs. Harold Page, was present. There were no objectors present.
