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.

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.
