E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
CBS Interest, LLC, owner of approximately three (3) acres of property
located along the south side of Interstate 30, approximately 400 feet east
of Sibley Hole Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2"
Single Family District to 1-2" Light Industrial District. The rezoning is
requested in order to utilize the property for equipment display, an
expansion of Scott Equipment Company, which is located immediately to
the west at 10923 1-30.
The site is currently undeveloped and mostly grass covered. Some site
work has recently taken place in preparation of the property's
development.

located across 1-30 to the north. Light Industrial uses are also located to
the west. There is undeveloped floodway property immediately to the
east, with mixed commercial and light industrial uses further east. A
church development and undeveloped property is located across Sibley
Hole Road to the south.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Light
Industrial. The requested zoning to 1-2 does not require an amendment
to the Land Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning to 1-2. Staff views the
request as reasonable. The property requested for rezoning is that
portion of the ownership, which is not located in the floodway. The
property will be utilized as an expansion of the Scott Equipment Company
development, which is located immediately to the west. The rezoning to
1-2 represents a continuation of the light industrial zoning along the south
side of 1-30. The property to the west, as well as the property to the east
(east of the floodway) is currently zoned 1-2. Staff believes the proposed
1-2 zoning will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the
general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-2 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 17, 2009)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented
