LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
FILE NO.: Z-6840
The site is located in the I-430 Planning District. The
adopted Plan recommends Mixed Office Commercial (MOC) for
this tract and adjacent properties extending south to Kanis
Road. The 0-3 General office zoning request conforms to the
Plan. The property is .within an area not covered by a
neighborhood action plan. No action plan is proposed for
the near future.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .87±
acre tract from R-2 Single Family to 0-3 General Office
District. The property is the undeveloped rear portion of a
larger tract which extends south to Kanis Road. Once
rezoned, the property is to be included in a new office
development, the initial phase of which has been developed
on the property adjacent to the east.
The property is behind the 0-3 zoned properties at 1012-1014
Autumn Road. These two properties are also owned by the
applicant. The applicant has developed a small office
building on the lot at 1012 Autumn Road. The property at
1014 Autumn was only recently rezoned to 0-3. The applicant
proposes to develop these three properties as a small office
park.
A multistory medical office building is located on the 0-3
zoned property adjacent to the north. A nonconforming
plumbing company and contractor's storage yard is on the R-2
zoned property to the west. This .87± acre tract is the
rear portion of the R-2 tract to the south which fronts onto
Kanis Road. The remainder of this tract now contains a
residence. There are several other office uses in the
immediate vicinity. The 0-3 request is compatible with uses
and zoning in the area.
The I-430 District Land Use Plan recommends Mixed Office
Commercial for this tract and the adjacent properties
extending south to Kanis Road. The 0-3 General Office
request conforms to the Plan.
It appears that by separating this .87± acre tract from
the larger tract, an illegal subdivision occurred. The

the plat issue.
