STAFF ANALYSIS: Plunkett Family, et. al., owner of the 3.728 acre property located at 10914/10916 Kanis Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "0-3" General Office District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The property is located on the north side of Kanis Road, approximately 300 feet west of Shackleford Road. The rezoning is proposed to allow future commercial development of the property. oil FILE NO.: Z-8364 (Cont.) The property currently contains a one-story residential structure within the south half of the property. There are one-story shop and storage buildings located behind (north) the residential structure. There is a gravel driveway from Kanis Road, which serves as access. The rear (north) portion of the property is undeveloped. The area contains a mixture of uses and rezoning. There are office and commercial uses located to the north, between this property and Hermitage Road. Undeveloped C-2 and C-3 zoned property is located to the south across Kanis Road. Hotel and retail uses are located to the east along the west side of Shackleford Road. Undeveloped C-2 zoned property is located to the west. The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial. The requested C-3 zoning does not require an amendment to the Land Use Plan. Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 rezoning. Staff views the request as reasonable, given the current surrounding uses, zoning and future plan designations. The properties immediately east and west are zoned C-3 and C-2 respectively and are also designated as Commercial on the future plan. The future plan shows the property to the south across Kanis Road as Community Shopping. There are office and commercial uses to the north. Staff believes future C-3 development of this property will be appropriate and will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or general area. F.
