PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
The site is located at -the corner of a CATA bus route which
extends down Colonel Glenn and north on Shackleford.
LAND USE ELEMENT
The site is located in the 65th Street West Land Use
District. The adopted Plan recommends Light Industrial (LI)
for this property as well as all other properties at the
intersection and extending south on Shackleford Road. The
I-2, Light Industrial rezoning request conforms to the Plan.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this 4.43:L-
acre
.43±acre site from R-2 Single Family to I-2 Light Industrial.
The site is occupied by one large industrial building
currently housing Fairway Lawns, a lawncare, landscape,
plant nursery and pest control company. The building
previously housed the AMPI, milk producers plant. AMPI
occupied the property when it was annexed into the City on
April 29, 1985. Prior to AMPI, Dairy Council, Inc. occupied
the building. The property was zoned R-2 at the time it was
annexed and was rendered nonconforming. It has had an I-2
nonconforming status since that date.
The property has recently been bought and occupied by
Fairway Lawns, Inc. Fairway's use of the property is
permitted as a continuance of the nonconforming status. To
eliminate the pitfalls associated with nonconformity, the
applicant is asking that the property be zoned I-2.
The I-2 rezoning request conforms to the adopted Land Use
Plan which recommends Light Industrial for this site as well
as all other properties at the intersection of Colonel Glenn
and Shackleford Roads. The LI designation continues well
down Shackleford Road. Uses in the area range from older
single family homes to new office warehouse developments.
The newest office warehouse development is across Colonel
Glenn to the northwest. The R-2 zoned property to the east
is occupied by a nonconforming salvage yard, an I-3 use.
The one single family home adjacent to the south is in
disrepair and it appears that the land is being cleared for
some other development.
Staff believes the I-2 rezoning request to be appropriate
for this site. The property has been used by various
industrial uses since its annexation into the City. I-2
conforms to the adopted Plan and is compatible with uses and
zoning in the area.
