STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the commission is to rezone this -873±
acre tract from "R-2- Single Family to "0-1" Quiet office
district. The property is currently occupied by three,
small residential structures and associated accessory
buildings. Immediate plans are to convert one of the
residential structures into an office for an accounting
(CPA) firm.
The property is located on that portion of Kanis Road
situated between Bowman Road and Shackleford Road. This
area has recently become the focus of new office and
commercial rezoning/development. The R-2 zoned property
across Kanis Road to the north is occupied by single family
homes and nonconforming businesses. A larger tract to the
northeast was recently rezoned to C-2, Shopping Center
district. A large area of vacant C-2 zoned property is
located to the south. A small strip of OS zoned property
separates the subject property from the C-2 property on the
south. This OS strip was put in place several years ago
when the 40± acres to the south was zoned C-2. The
properties to the west range in zoning from R-2 to 0-3 and
C-3. Uses in this area range from large, undeveloped tracts
to small offices. The 0-3 zoned property adjacent to the
east contains a single family residential structure.
The 1-430 district land use plan recommends office for the
site. The 0-1 rezoning request conforms to the Plan. Staff
has consistently encouraged development of this section of
Kanis Road as an office corridor.
STAFF RECOVWENDATIO
Staff recommends approval of the requested 0-1 rezoning. The
request conforms to the adopted Land Use Plan.
