E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Joe Clay, owner of the one (1) acre property located on the south side of
Interstate 30, approximately 1,000 feet east of Alexander Road, is
requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to "C-3"
General Commercial District. The property was recently platted as a lot
out of the overall 1-30 Speedway property to the south and east.
The property is currently undeveloped and partially grass -covered and
partially gravel -covered. There is a driveway at the northwest corner of
the property which serves as access. The property has been utilized as
access and parking for the overall 1-30 Speedway property.
The general area contains a mixture of uses and zoning. Mixed
commercial uses on C-4 zoned property exist to the north across 1-30. As
noted previously, the 1-30 Speedway property wraps around this property
to the south and east, with other commercial uses further east. There is a
mixture of commercial uses, including open display, to the west along the
south side of 1-30.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as "Mixed
Commercial Industrial". The requested C-3 zoning does not require an
amendment to the Land Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning to C-3. Staff believes the
proposed C-3 zoning will be appropriate for this property. It will represent
a continuation of the commercial zoning pattern within this portion of the

1-30 corridor, immediately east of the county line. There is existing C-4
commercial zoning immediately west of the site and across 1-30 to the
north. There is also existing commercial zoning immediately east of the I-
30 Speedway property. Staff believes the requested C-3 zoning will have
no adverse impact on the general area.
