across Emergency Drive to the west, with hospital parking to the north.
Single family residences and an apartment complex are located across
Kanis Road to the south. Office and clinic uses are located to the east
along Kanis Road, with commercial uses and zoning further east. Single
family residential property is located to the northeast.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Office. The
requested zoning change to 0-2 does not require a change to the Land
Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested 0-2 zoning. Staff feels that the
request is appropriate. Development of this property as hospital support
facilities is a reasonable use of the property, with existing hospital and
hospital support facilities located to the west and north. Other clinical type
uses exist to the east. Staff believes this proposed 0-2 rezoning will have
no negative impact on the general area. The 0-2 zoning district is a site
plan review district. Therefore, future development plans for the property
must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 0-2 rezoning.
