To obtain a conditional use permit
for an office showroom/warehouse at
6210 Baseline Road on 0-3 zoned
property.
The site is located on the north side of Baseline Road, just
west of Geyer Springs Road.
2. CoLupatibility with Neighborhood:
This site has a mix of 0-3, General Office, and C-3 General
Commercial, zoning. Most of the new building is located on
the 0-3 part of the property. The surrounding area has a
mixture of residential and commercial uses. To the east and
southeast is C-3 zoning while to the north and west is R-2
and C-1 zoning. There are single family homes to the west
of where the addition would be. Behind this site is vacant
R-2 land. A post office is located to the southeast.
Immediately to the west of the existing building is a beauty
salon and dentist office. There is a church to the south
across Baseline.
Staff believes this use is compatible with most of the area
and with proper screening and control of loading dock hours,
the impact on the residential area will be minimal.
The Cloverdale Neighborhood Association was notified of the
public hearing.

lot onto Baseline. After the addition, there will be only
one access point onto Baseline and less parking along
Baseline.

providing 83 spaces compared to a required 75 spaces. The
requirement is based on one space per 400 square feet in

7. Staff Analsis•
The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for an
office showroom/warehouse on this 0-3, General Office, zoned
property. The anticipated hours of operation are 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The addition meets all
setback and height requirements for both 0-3 and C-3 zones.
However; the small pavilion building is shown as being
located across a platted building line. Also, there is a
utility/drainage easement shown which would be under the new
addition. The applicant plans to replat these lots to
eliminate both these situations. Accomplishing that replat
will be a condition of an approved C.U.P.
Staff believes this is a reasonable use of this property,
and with proper screening from the residential area to the
north and west, it should have minimal impact on the
neighborhood. The modified parking lot access is an
improvement.
8. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
subject to compliance with the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the Screening and Buffer Comments
regarding an opaque screen,
2. Compliance with Public Works Comments,
3. Compliance with Utility and Fire Department Comments,
4. Property must be replatted to remove the circular
utility/drainage easement and change the building line
on Lot 3 in the vicinity of the small pavilion.
