These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements. The primary function of a Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within urbanized areas. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. Bicycle Plan: A Class II bike route is shown along Shackleford Road according to the Master Street Plan bicycle section. A Class II bikeway is located on the street as either a 5' shoulder or six foot marked bike lane. Additional paving and right-of-way may be required.

E. STAFF ANALYSIS: LBI, Inc., owner of the 20.455 acre property located on the west side of Shackleford Road approximately 1,200 feet north of Colonel Glenn Road, is 2 December 21, 2006 ITEM NO: 7.1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-81 4 2 requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to 1-2" Light Industrial District. The rezoning is proposed to allow the development of an auto body shop for Landers Toyota. The property is currently undeveloped and mostly tree -covered. The property has varying degrees of slope. Several mobile homes which previously existed along the Shackleford Road (east) property line have been removed. The general area contains a mixture of uses and zoning, along with a large amount of undeveloped property. The properties to the north and west are undeveloped and zoned R-2 and 0-2 respectively. There is an old nonconforming mobile home park to the east across Shackleford Road. Office/warehouse-type uses are located to the south and southeast. There is a large amount of undeveloped property to the south along Shackleford Road. Various commercial uses are located to the southwest along Colonel Glenn Road. The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as "Multifamily". A Land Use Plan Amendment for a change to "Light Industrial" is a separate item on this agenda. Staff is not supportive of the requested rezoning. Given the surrounding uses, zoning and land use pattern, staff does not believe 1-2 zoning for this 20.455 acre tract is appropriate. The City's Future Land Use Plan shows "Low Density Residential" to the north, "Suburban Office" to the west and "Mobile Home Park" to the east. In addition, the Land Use Plan shows a PK/OS strip between this property and the mobile home park and the properties to their north, indicating what should be the north boundary of any light industrial development along Shackleford Road. There is a large amount of undeveloped property shown as "Light Industrial" on the future plan to the south along both sides of Shackleford Road (south of Colonel Glenn Road). Staff believes the body shop would be more appropriate in this area. Staff feels the requested 1-2 zoning would have a negative impact on the future development/redevelopment within this area along Shackleford Road, north of Colonel Glenn Road. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the requested 1-2 rezoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (DECEMBER 21, 2006) Staff informed the Commission that the applicant submitted a letter on December 20, 2006 requesting the application be withdrawn. Staff supported the withdrawal request. '41 December 21, 2006 ITEM NO7.1 (Cont.)
