E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Clifton Family LLLP, owner of the 0.73 acre lot at 6501 Interstate 30,
is requesting to rezone the property from 1-2" Light Industrial District to
"C-3" General Commercial District. The rezoning is proposed in order to
convert the existing vacant restaurant building into a laundromat to serve
the area.
The property is occupied by a vacant one-story restaurant building located
near the center of the lot. There is paved parking on the north, south and
west sides of the building. Access is gained by way of a shared drive
(with Ramada Inn) from West 65th Street.
The general area along Interstate 30 contains a mixture of office,
commercial and industrial uses. There are two (2) motels in the area, one
(1) immediately east of the site and one (1) across 1-30 to the northwest.
Industrial uses and undeveloped 1-2 zoned property are located to the
south. There is a constructor's office with storage and a fraternal
organization to the north across West 65th Street. A mixture of
commercial and industrial uses exists to the west across 1-30.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial.
The requested C-3 zoning does not require a change to the Land Use
Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 zoning. Staff feels that C-3 zoning
for the property is reasonable. The past use of this property, as well as
the motel property to the east, has always been commercial in
nature. This is also the case with the other three (3) corners of the
intersection of 1-30 and 65th Street. Staff feels that the proposed rezoning
will have no adverse impact on the general area.
