This request is located in the Ellis Mountain Planning District. The Land
Use Plan shows Suburban Office for this property. The applicant has
applied for a rezoning from R-2 Single Family to 0-3 General Office
District.
Based on the existing zoning and use pattern, the proposal does not have
a significant impact on the Land Use Plan, which would necessitate a Plan
Amendment.

Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their
primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area.

and pedestrians on Kanis since it is a Minor Arterial. This street may
require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for
entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan:
Existing or proposed Class I, II or III Bikeways are not in the immediate
vicinity of the development.
City Recoqnized Neighborhood Action Plan:
The property under review is not located in an area covered by a City of

E. STAFF ANALYSIS. -
Sharon Valdine Grant, owner of the 1.00 acre property located at 12819
Kanis Road, is requesting to rezone the property form "R-2" Single Family
District to "0-3" General Office District. The rezoning is proposed to allow
use of the existing building as a cosmetology school.
There is currently a one-story frame duplex structure located near the center
of the property. There are two (2) gravel drives from Kanis Road which
serve as access to the property. There is a one -car carport on each side of
the residential structure.
The general area contains a mixture of uses and zoning. A VFW post and
undeveloped property (zoned R-2) are located across Kanis Road to the
north. A single family residence is located on the 0-1 property immediately
east, with undeveloped C-3 zoned property further east at the southwest

corner of Kanis Road and Pointe West Drive. Undeveloped 0-3 zoned
property is located immediately to the west. Undeveloped 0-3 and 0-1
property is located to the south, with single family residences further south.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as "Suburban
Office". The requested 0-3 zoning does not require an amendment to the
Land Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The properties immediately east and west of the site are zoned
0-1 and 0-3 respectively. These existing 0-1 and 0-3 zonings wrap
around to the south side of the site. Staff believes rezoning this one (1)
acre to 0-3 and continuing the zoning and use pattern in this immediate
area will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general
area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 0-3 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (NOVEMBER 9, 2006)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented
the application with a recommendation of approval.
The Chairman placed the item before the Commission for inclusion within the
Consent Agenda for approval. A motion to that effect was made. The motion
passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 nays and 2 absent. The application was approved.
