Approval of the Ordinance.
The applicant proposes to rezone a 1.68 acre site from R-2
to PCD to allow for a mixed -use development. The
development will include a restaurant, Barber/Beauty Salon
and car wash utilizing the existing buildings on the site.
The applicant is requesting all C-3 permitted uses be
allowed as alternate uses.
The property is surrounded by R-2 zoning in all directions.
The property is currently vacant with three (3) vacant
structures not in use. The site previously operated as
grocery store, coin laundry and a car wash. There are
several commercial zoning uses in the immediate area, east
and west, along the Stagecoach corridor.
BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
There will be no changes to the footprint of the existing
buildings. All previous setbacks for the existing structures
will remain unchanged.
The applicant is seeking to renovate the existing structures
as follows:
1. Grocery store — this 1,800 square foot building will be
renovated and converted into a quick -serve restaurant.
2. Coin laundry — this 1,390 square foot building will be
renovated and converted into a Barber/Beauty salon.
3. Carwash — the car wash use will remain unchanged.
The facilities will be repaired and made functional
again.
The applicant notes operating hours for the quick -serve
restaurant will be from 6:OOam to 9:OOpm (possibly earlier
closing). The barberibeauty use will contain three (3)
barbers, three (3) beauticians and will operate from 9:OOam
to 8:OOpm. The carwash will operate from 8:OOam to
7:OOpm.
The applicant notes the gas pumps will remain, however,
they will not be operational.
Section 36-502(3)(c) requires eighteen (18) parking spaces
for a restaurant use. Section 36-502(3)(f) requires six (6)
spaces for a barber/beauty use. The site plan indicates a
total of twenty-five (25) parking spaces for the
development. Staff feels the parking is sufficient to serve
the use.
The site will be accessed along Stagecoach Road from a
twenty-two (22) foot driveway between the proposed
quick -serve restaurant and former gas island. A twenty-six
(26) foot driveway, near the proposed carwash, provides
additional access on the western portion of the site. The
applicant notes the existing asphalt paving will not be
disturbed and intends for it to remain in place. The
applicant notes this is necessary for the proper functioning
of the different uses on the site and the two (2) drives will
be an improvement over the existing condition of one
continuous drive along the entire frontage.

north side of the proposed quick -serve restaurant. Any
dumpster must comply with Section 36-523 of the City's
