E. STAFF ANALYSIS. -
William Spencer, owner of 1.34 acres of property located at 11812 Vimy
Ridge Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family
District to 1-2" Light Industrial District. The property is located on the west
side of Vimy Ridge Road, approximately 500 feet north of Alexander
Road. The rezoning is proposed for a small auto sales use.
A one-story brick and frame single family residence is located within the
north half of the property. There is a one -car wide driveway from Vimy
Ridge Road near the northeast corner of the property. The rear portion of
the property is partially tree -covered.
The general area contains a mixture of uses and zoning. A light industrial
use, zoned 1-2, is located immediately north and west of the subject
property. Undveloped 1-3 zoned property is located across Vimy Ridge
Road to the east, with an industrial use to the northeast. A single family
residence (also owned by William Spencer) is located immediately to the

south. A convenience store and undeveloped C-3 zoned property are
located further south at the intersection of Vimy Ridge Road and
Alexander Road.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as "Light
Industrial". The proposed 1-2 zoning does not require an amendment to
the future plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning to 1-2. Staff views the
request as appropriate. As noted previously, the property is designated as
"Light Industrial" by the City's Future Land Use Plan. All surrounding
properties are designated as "Light Industrial" and "Industrial". The
properties immediately north and west are currently zoned 1-2 and
occupied by a large light industrial use. The property across Vimy Ridge
Road to the east is undeveloped and zoned 1-3. Staff believes
continuation of the light industrial zoning along the west side of Vimy
Ridge Road will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or
general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-2 rezoning.
