Master Street Plan:
Baseline Road is a Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. A Principal
Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or
activity centers within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited
to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Baseline Road. This
street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
BICYCLE PLAN:
A Class II Bike Lanes are shown along Stagecoach Road. Bike Lanes provide a
portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Ralph McDaniel Trust, owner of the 0.69 acre property located at 4811 Baseline
Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to
"O-Y General Office District. The property is located on the south side of
Baseline Road, between S. Heights Road and Sunset Lane. The rezoning is
proposed in order to convert the existing single family structure to a small real
estate office.
The property contains a one-story single family structure located within the north
half of the site. An access drive from Baseline Road is located at the northwest
corner of the property. There is a small paved parking area in front of the
building, between the building and Baseline Road. The rear (south) portion of
the property is undeveloped.
The area contains a mixture of uses and zoning. Mixed commercial uses are
located across Baseline Road to the north. Single family residences are located
to the south. A church, single family residences and commercial uses are
located to the west. A single family residence and mixed commercial uses are
located to the east.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Mixed Office
Commercial. The proposed rezoning to 0-3 does not require an amendment to
the plan.

Staff is supportive of the requested 0-3 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The property is located along a major arterial roadway, within an
area of mixed uses and zoning. Many of the older single family structures along
Baseline Road have been rezoned (or obtained conditional use permit) and
converted to new uses such as office, church, day care, etc. Existing
commercial zoning is located immediately west and north of the site. Staff
believes the proposed rezoning of the property to 0-3 and conversion of the
structure to a small office will be in keeping with the character of this general
area, and will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 0-3 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JUNE 27, 2013)

and a recommendation of approval. There was no further discussion. The item was
