STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the commission is to rezone this .53±
acre tract from "R-2" Single Family to "I-2" Light
Industrial. The property currently contains one
lsingle
l be d
family residence. Once rezoned, the property

several properties in the area.
The property is located in an area of mixed zoning and uses
with I-2 being the predominant zoning. The properties to
the east are zoned I-2 and contain an office and the
previously mentioned equipment rental company. A large area
of 1-2 zoning extends from Forbing Road south to I-30. This
area south of Forbing Road contains a variety of industrial
uses. One single family residence is adjacent to the west
and beyond that is a large tree service compaAnsmall
and pocket
warehouse, zoned PCD and I-2 respectively.
of single family homes lies north of the site, along Myerson
Drive.
The subject property is one of only two remaining
residential properties located on Forbing Road between Geyer
Springs and University Avenue. The vast majority of the
property in the area is zoned I-2. There is an area of.0-4
and C-3 zoning at the intersection of -.Forbing and Geyer
Springs -Road.
The 65th ' Street East District Land 'Use Plan _is ! reflective -of
the zoning pattern in the area with one exception. It does
not recognize the I-2 zoned property on the north side of
Forbing Road to the east of the subject property. Staff
recommends amending the Plan to Industrial for the two
-remaining residential properties and the I-2_zoned property
on the north side of Forbing. The Plan currently recommends
Commercial.

amendment to the 65th Street East District Land Use Plan.
