D. LAND USE ELEMENT: E This request is located in the 65th Street — West Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Light Industrial for this property. The applicant has applied for C-3 General Commercial for commercial development. A land use plan amendment for a change to Commercial is a separate item on this agenda. City Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan: The applicant's property lies in the area covered by the Stagecoach -Dodd section of the Pecan Lake, Westwood, Stagecoach -Dodd Neighborhood Action Plan. The Zoning and Land Use goal supports concentrating proposed non-residential developments in the area bounded by 1-430, Shackleford, Colonel Glenn, and David O Dodd Roads. The plan also lists an Action Statement of encouraging new non-residential development to locate west of Shackleford Road and north of David O Dodd Road. STAFF ANALYSIS: Virginia F. Unser, owner of the 5 -acre tract located at the southeast corner of Colonel Glenn Road and Talley Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The rezoning is proposed for future commercial development. There are currently two (2) single family homes on the property, one (1) at the northwest corner of the property and one (1) at the property's southwest corner. The remainder of the property is undeveloped and tree -covered. 2 December 18, 2003 ITEM NO.: D Cont. FILE NO.' Z-7508 The general area contains a mixture of uses and a large amount of undeveloped property. There are office/warehouse uses across Colonel Glenn Road to the north, with the Clear Channel facility and a new Wendy's restaurant to the northwest. There is undeveloped R-2 zoned property immediately east and south of the property. There are industrial uses further east and south along Shackleford Road. There is a commercial subdivision under development (site work only) across Talley Road to the west. The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Light Industrial. The applicant has filed a land use plan amendment for a change to commercial which is Item 10. on this agenda. Staff does not support the requested rezoning to C-3. Staff feels that a rezoning of this property to commercial is premature, given the large amount of undeveloped commercial property (zoned C-2, C-3 and C-4) to the west, at the intersection of 1-430 and Colonel Glenn Road. The property is part of a large light industrial corridor along Shackleford Road as shown on the City's Future Land Use Plan. Although a future rezoning of this property could be a viable option, staff feels that the removal of the property from the light industrial corridor is inappropriate at this time. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the requested rezoning to C-3.
