The Light Industry provides for light warehouse, distribution or storage uses, and/or other industrial uses that are developed in a well -designed "park like" setting. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from 1-1 (Industrial Park District) to C-3 (General Commercial District) to develop commercial uses in the future on the currently vacant property.

Master Street Plan: The north side of the property is Interstate 30 and it is a freeway on the Master Street Plan. BICYCLE PLAN: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity. E. STAFF ANALYSIS: Ignacio and Guadalupe Alvarez, owners of the 1.531 acre property at 12601 Interstate 30, are requesting to rezone the property from 1-1" Industrial Park District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The rezoning is proposed for future commercial development. The 1.531 acre property is currently undeveloped and partially wooded. There is a driveway from the 1-30 service road which serves as access. The majority of the property is located in the floodway, including the front 370 feet ± of the overall site. Approximately 0.6 acre of the property is located in the floodplain, at the property's southeast corner. The general area contains a mixture of uses and zoning. There is undeveloped property to the north, across 1-30, which is owned by an adjacent church E FILE NO.: Z-8227-A (Cont. development. There is a mixture of commercial and industrial uses to the east and west, along 1-30. There is undeveloped 1-2 and R-2 zoned property to the south. The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as "Light Industrial". A requested Land Use Plan change to "Commercial" is a separate item on this agenda. Staff has determined that a Land Use Plan Amendment is not needed for the requested rezoning. The applicant has requested withdrawal of the Land Use Amendment application. Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 rezoning. Staff views the request as reasonable. The proposed C-3 zoning will comply with the existing zoning pattern along both sides of Interstate 30, which contains a mixture of commercial and light industrial zoning and uses. The properties across the creek to the west are zoned C-4 and PCD, with the property to the east containing a light industrial use. With a portion of this property located within the floodway, development of the property may tend to be difficult. Staff feels that the proposed C-3 zoning will aid in the ability to develop the property. The minimum required side and rear building setbacks are much less with C-3 zoning than with the existing 1-1 zoning, which will greatly help in the placement of a building within the floodplain portion of the property. Staff believes that C-3 zoning and development of this property is appropriate, and will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or general area. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 rezoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 14, 2016) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent agenda and approved. The vote was 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. 3 July 14, 2016 ITEM NO.: 2.1 FILE NO.: Z-8227-A Owner: Ignacio and Guadalupe Alvarez Applicant: J.
