C. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

OUR and SWLR United for Progress Neighborhood Associations were notified of

D. LAND USE ELEMENT:
Planning Division: This request is located in Geyer Springs East Planning
District. The Land Use Plan shows Mixed Office and Commercial (MOC) for this
property. The Mixed Office and Commercial provides for a mixture of office and
commercial uses to occur. Acceptable uses are office or mixed office and
commercial. A Planned Zoning District is required if the use is mixed office and
commercial. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from R-2 (Single Family
District) to C-1 (neighborhood commercial district) to allow future commercial as
an allowable use.
Master Street Plan: North of the property is Baseline Road and it shown as a
Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. East of the property is South
Heights Road and it shown as a Local Street on the Master Street Plan. The
primary function of a Principal Arterial Street is to serve through traffic and to
connect major traffic generator or activity centers within an urbanized area.
Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and
pedestrians on Baseline Road since it is a Principal Arterial. The primary
function of a Local Street is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local
Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning
than duplexes are considered as "Commercial Streets". A Collector design
standard is used for Commercial Streets. These streets may require dedication
of right-of-way and may require street improvements.
Bicycle Plan: A Class II Bike Lane is shown along Baseline Road. Bike Lanes
provide a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.

located at the southeast corner of the residence. A two -car wide gravel driveway
from South Heights Road serves as access to the carport structure.
The property is located in an area of mixed uses and zoning. Mixed commercial
uses, zoned C-1, C-3, C-4 and PCD, are located across Baseline Road to the
north. Single family residences are located to the south. A commercial strip
center (zoned R-2) and C-1 zoned property are located to the east. Mixed office -
type uses, including a church, are located on the R-2, 0-3 and C-3 zoned
property to the west.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Mixed Office and
Commercial (MOC). The requested C-1 zoning does not require an amendment
to the plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested C-1 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The property is located in an area of mixed zoning and uses along
Baseline Road, a principal arterial roadway. Existing 0-3, C-1 and C-3 zoned
properties are located along the south side of Baseline Road in this immediate
area. Therefore, the proposed C-1 zoning will represent a continuation of the
zoning pattern in this area. Staff believes rezoning this property to C-1 will have
no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
