ITEM NO.: G FILE NO.: Z-6846
NAME: Larry Freeman - Conditional Use Permit
LOCATION: 14400 West Baseline Road
OWNER/APPLICANT: Charles Higgins / Larry Freeman
PROPOSAL: To obtain a conditional use permit for a two -
section 1,120 square foot manufactured home as
the primary residence on property zoned R-2,
Single Family Residential, located at 14400
West Baseline Road.
ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS:
1. SITE LOCATION:
This site is located on the north side of West Baseline
Road, just west of Colonel Miller Road. This is just
outside the City limits, but within the extra -territorial
zoning boundary. The area on the south side of Baseline
across the street from this site is inside the City.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD:
This site is zoned R-2, Single Family Residential, and is
surrounded by R-2 zoning. This site is vacant and is just
beyond a built up area of residential subdivisions and an
apartment complex. The area surrounding this site is more
rural and more sparsely populated. There are site built
homes on both sides and across the street to the southwest.
To the south and southeast the property is vacant. The
closest manufactured home is a single -wide located about
0.5 mile to the west on the south side of Baseline, just
inside the City limits. Along this 0.5 mile of Baseline the
north side is outside the City and the south side is inside
the City.
The proposed manufactured home is a brand new 28 foot by 44
foot home, and would be set up to meet City standards.
Based on that and the construction and condition of many of
the structures along this stretch of Baseline, Staff
believes this proposed manufactured home would not have an
adverse impact on the neighborhood.
