ITEM NO.: 5' Z-6245 Cant.
LAND USE ELEMENT
The request is located in the Ellis Mountain District. The
adopted Land Use Plan recommends Neighborhood Commercial use
in the area. The request is for "C-1", Neighborhood
Commercial. There is no land use issue.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .48±
acre tract from "R-211 Single Family to "C-1" Neighborhood
Commercial. The site is currently occupied by a one story
frame structure and a cinderblock accessory structure. The
applicant proposes to convert the frame structure into an
office.
The site is located at the northeast corner of Kanis and
Kirby Roads. Uses in the immediate area are primarily
single family homes on larger lots and large tracts of
undeveloped property. The area is rural in nature and the
single family homes range from single -wide mobile homes to
large, brick residences. The undeveloped, wooded property
across Kanis Road is the northernmost part of the Brodie
Creek Community development. The C-1 zoned property to the
west is mostly undeveloped and contains several mobile
homes.
The property is located within a small node at the
intersection of Kanis, Kirby and Cooper Orbit Roads which is
designated as Neighborhood Commercial by the Ellis Mountain
District Land Use Plan. An area designated Transition Zone
extends to the east, west and north around this NC node.
The C-1, Neighborhood Commercial rezoning requested by the
applicant conforms to the adopted Plan. Conversion of the
existing structure into an office should be compatible with
the neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-1 rezoning.
