E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Jon P. Luer, owner of the 2.04 acre property located at 4800 Baseline
Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family
District to "C-4" Open Display District. The property is located on the north
side of Baseline Road, between Stanton and Doyle Springs Roads. The
rezoning is proposed for future commercial development of the property.
The site is occupied by a one-story commercial building which is currently
vacant. The building is located within the south half of the property.
There is an access drive from Baseline Road with a paved parking area
on the south side of the building. A truck access/loading dock is located
on the building's west side. The rear yard area is partially gravel, with the
remainder being grass covered. An accessory, shed -type building is
located along the rear (north) property line.
There is a mixture of uses and zoning in this general area along Baseline
Road. The property immediately north is undeveloped and zoned R-2.
There are single family residences to the northeast. Single family
residences and commercial uses are located across Baseline Road to the
south. A mini -warehouse development is located on the C-3 zoned
property immediately east, with a church development further east. A
beauty salon and concessions trailer business is located to the west, with
mixed commercial uses further west.

FILE NO.: Z-8283 Cont.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial.
The requested rezoning to C-4 does not require a change to the Land Use
Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning to C-4. Staff views the
request as reasonable. The site has a past history of C-4/1-1 type use.
Most recently Capitol Fence Company occupied the property, with the use
being office/warehouse and contractor yard with outdoor storage. Staff
feels the requested C-4 zoning is appropriate along Baseline Road, which
the City's Master Street Plan classifies as a principal arterial. According to
Section 36-302(a) of the City's Zoning Ordinance, appropriate locations for
the C-4 zoning district are "along heavily traveled major traffic arterials".
Staff believes the requested C-4 zoning will have no adverse impact on
the adjacent properties or the general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-4 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (DECEMBER 6, 2007)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented
the item with a recommendation of approval.
Staff informed the Commission that the applicant had revised the application to
eliminate the following as permitted uses, as found in Section 36-302(c)(1) of the
Code, under the proposed C-4 zoning.
e. Auto paint or body rebuilding shop.
f. Auto parts and accessories.
g. Automobile or motorcycle display, sales or service.
h. Auto or truck rental or leasing.
i. Auto repair garage.
k. Building material sales (open).
cc. Lumber yard.
The Chairman placed the item before the Commission for inclusion within the
Consent Agenda for approval, as revised and recommended by staff. A motion
to that effect was made. The motion passed by a vote of 11 ayes and 0 nays.
