The site is located in the Geyer Springs East Planning

site and the abutting properties located on the north side
of Baseline Road. The C-3 zoning request conforms to the
adopted Plan. The site lies within the area covered by the
Upper Baseline Neighborhood Action Plan which was adopted
by the Commission on September 2, 1999 and the Board of
Directors on November 21 1999. There were no zoning or
Land Use changes proposed by the action plan.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this vacant
2.26± acre property from "R-2" Single Family to "C-3"
General Commercial. The property consists of two tracts
which are to be combined with the C-3 zoned property
adjacent to the west and replatted into a 2 lot
subdivision. See S -1275-A, Richdale/Hughey Replat -
Preliminary Plat. The smaller lot, fronting onto Baseline
Road is proposed for development as facilities for L & M
Concessions, possibly including offices and a storage
building for concession trailers and materials. The rear
tract will be added to the proposed larger lot of the
subdivision which now has a small strip, office and
commercial center located on it.
