PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
FILE NO.: Z-7017
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site
and all residents within 300 feet who could be identified
were notified of the rezoning. The site is located outside
of the city limits and there is no neighborhood association
within the vicinity.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site lies at the southern edge of the Chenal Planning
District. The adopted Plan recommends MF Multifamily for
this site and the surrounding properties, with any portion
of the site that might be in the regulatory floodway shown
as PK/OS Park/Open Space. AF, Agriculture and Forestry, is
treated as single family from a land use perspective in the
extraterritorial area. No plan amendment is required.
The site lies outside of the city limits and is in an area
not covered by a neighborhood action plan.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this 1.38±
acre portion of the applicant's property from "R-2" Single
Family to "AF" Agriculture and Forestry District. The
family's ownership consists of 4 contiguous, 200' X 600'
lots. The rezoning request is for the south 300' of one of
the lots. The site contains a single-family dwelling. The
applicant proposes to convert the house into a "pet day-
care" with outside runs to be built behind the structure.
Such a use is defined as a kennel by the code and requires a
conditional use permit in AF. An associated conditional use
permit application has been filed; see item Z -7017-A,
Hoffman Doggy Daycare C.U.P. The property is located just
outside of the corporate city limits, within the City's
extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction.
Staff is supportive of the requested AF rezoning. The site
is located in an area that is still fairly rural in nature.
The predominate land use is single-family homes on larger
tracts. An area of C-3 and PCD zoned properties is located
east of the site, at the intersection of Chenal Parkway and

Kanis Road. These properties now contain office uses and a
golf driving range. Undeveloped properties extend to the
north and west. A large ranch is located on AF zoned
property approximately 1,000 feet west of this site. The
family's ownership also consists of one 200' X 600' tract
adjacent to the east of this site and two additional 200' X
600' tract adjacent to the west.
The AF Agriculture and Forestry district is intended to
provide a smooth transition between purely rural areas and
newly urbanized areas, allowing flexibility adequate to
permit reasonable absorption of land use types typically
found in the urban fringe. Many areas newly annexed to the
city will be already partially developed with a variety of
nonurban land uses, while others will exhibit relatively
little development of any kind. It is the purpose of the AF
district to provide a usable district for certain uses which
may be annexed to the city and which may be held from
development as urban land uses.
The only permitted uses in the AF district are:
(1) Single-family residences, together with the usual
accessory uses.
(2) Agriculture and forestry operations, to include the
raising of livestock and poultry.
(3) Governmental or private recreational uses, including
but not limited to golf courses, tennis courts,
swimming pools, playgrounds, day camps and passive
recreational open space.
(4) Plant nursery.
Conditional uses in AF are:
(1) Agricultural products processing.
(2) Hunting and gun clubs.
(3) Riding academy (equestrian) or commercial stable.

(4) Broadcast towers and related facilities.

in the extraterritorial district and no plan amendment is
required.
