Master Street Plan:
Baseline Road is a Principal Arterial. The primary function of a Principal
Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or
activity centers within urbanized areas. Entrances and exits should be
limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Baseline
since it is a Principal Arterial. Community Road is a Local Street. The
primary function of a Local Street is to provide access to adjacent
properties. Local Streets which are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or
more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as "Commercial
Streets". These streets have a design standard the same as a Collector.
This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements for entrances and exits to the site and might require street
improvements even if there is not entrance or exit.
Bicycle Plan:
There are no bike routes in this vicinity.
Neighborhood Action Plan:
This area is covered by the Upper Baseline Neighborhood Action Plan.
One of the action statements under the infrastructure Goal is: "Widen
Community Road (26 ft.) and install curb and gutter."

corner of Baseline Road and Community Road. The rezoning is proposed
to allow use of the existing commercial building for auto repair.
The one-story commercial building is located within the south half of the
property. It was previously used as a service station and auto repair
garage. There is paved parking on the south side of the building, between
the building and Baseline Road. The property is fenced within a six (6)
foot high chain -link fence. There are existing driveways from Baseline and
Community Roads. There is also a billboard at the southeast corner of the
property. The rear (north) portion of the property is undeveloped and
covered with grass and gravel.
The general area contains a mixture of zoning and uses. There are
single-family homes to the north and west. Undeveloped C-4 zoned
property is located immediately east, with mixed commercial uses further
east and southeast. The Baseline Elementary School and a single family
home are located across Baseline Road to the south. There are also
multifamily uses and mobile home parks in the area.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial.
The requested C-4 zoning does not require an amendment to the Land
Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested C-4 rezoning. Staff views the request
as reasonable. There is an existing commercial building on the property
which has a history of use as a service station and auto repair garage.
The applicant is proposing to re-establish the auto repair use. There is a
mixture of commercial uses in this area, with the property immediately to
the east being currently zoned C-4. Staff feels the proposed C-4 zoning of
the property and auto repair use will be compatible with the general area.
Staff believes the rezoning is appropriate and 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: (AUGUST 21, 2008)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented
the item with a recommendation of approval.
