adjacent properties which front onto West 12th Street. The
C-3 zoning request conforms to the adopted plan. The site
is within the area covered by the Stephens Area Neighborhood
Action which was adopted by resolution of the, -Planning
Commission on July 22, 1999 and by resolution of the Board
of Directors on October 19, 1999. The Action Plan
recommends Commercial for this tract. An action statement
within the Economic Development Goals of the Plan is to
"bring business to 12th and Woodrow Streets (establish as a
high-priority Economic Development Concentration Area)." An
action statement within the Neighborhood Revitalization
Goals of the Plan is to "work with Zoning and Code
Enforcement to eliminate liquor stores." Although the two
action statements do appear to create a conflict for this
specific applicant, staff believes the C-3 zoning request
conforms to and meets the spirit of the neighborhood action
plan. The applicant's proposal will not result in an
additional liquor store but is to result in the
redevelopment of the corner.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .11 acre
tract from "I-2" Light Industrial to "C-3" General
Commercial district. The property is occupied by an older,
frame and masonry, commercial building. The lot is part of
a larger ownership owned by the applicant. The applicant
also owns the property adjacent to the west, directly at the
northeast corner of West 12th and Woodrow Streets. A liquor
store is located on the corner, C-3 zoned property. The
applicant proposes to relocate the liquor store into the
building on the west (on the I-2 zoned property) as a
temporary measure while the current liquor store building is
removed and a new store built in its place. At that time,
the store will relocate to the new building and the building
on the east will be removed to provide additional parking.
In order to accommodate the temporary move and the future
use of the tract as parking for the liquor store, the
property needs to be rezoned from I-2 to C-3.
The property is located within the Woodrow Street/12th
Street commercial node and is surrounded by a variety on
nonresidential uses and zoning. As was previously
mentioned, a liquor store is located on the C-3 zoned
property adjacent to the west. An appliance and furniture
store is located on C-3 zoned property farther west, across

Woodrow Street. A gas station/auto repair business is
located on the C-3 zoned property adjacent to the east. An
EZ Mart convenience store occupies the C-3 and I-2 zoned
property across West 12t:h Street to the south. An organ
building business is located on I-2 zoned property adjacent
to the north. Numerous other commercial businesses are
located in the immediate vicinity, along West 12th and
Woodrow Streets.
The I-630 District Land Use Plan recommends Commercial for
the property. The commercial zoning request also conforms
to the Stephens Area Neighborhood Action Plan.
Staff believes the C-3 zoning request is compatible with
uses and zoning in the area and conforms to the adopted Land
Use Plan and Neighborhood Action Plan.

this .11± acre tract.
