STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this 4.57±
acre tract from "R-2- Single Family to "0-3" General Office
District. A single family residence is located on the
western portion of the tract. The eastern portion is
undeveloped and heavily wooded. A new U.S. Postal facility
is proposed for development on the site once it is rezoned.
This item is associated with Dailey'Drive Business Addition
Preliminary Plat (S-1219), Item No. 5 on this agenda.
On August 6, 1998, the Planning Commission voted to
recommend approval of 0-3 zoning for the western 2± acres of
this tract. Subsequent to that action but prior to the
Board of Directors acting on the issue, the Postal Service
expressed interest in locating at this point on Baseline
Road. The new facility will replace an existing postal
facility located further east on Baseline. A larger tract
is needed than was previously before the Commission.
Consequently, this application was filed which includes most
of what was previously approved by the Commission but also
adds the adjacent 2.5± acres to the east. The property is
50 feet less in depth than that previously before the
Commission.
Staff believes the 0-3 request to be appropriate. A
smaller, undeveloped, 0-3 zoned tract is located across
Dailey Drive to the west of the site. A nonconforming
mobile home park is south of the 0-3 tract. The 0-3 zoned
