Worthen will lease the o site for a temporary office with an option to establish a permanent facility in the future. The site, itself, is zoned "C-4." The plan submitted basically conforms to the bulk and area requirements for the "C-4" district. In reviewing this proposal, staff has taken into consideration the entire ownership of the leasor, which involves a strip of mixed commercial uses along the north access road of Interstate 30, approximately 1,400' east of the County Line Road underpass. The strip was annexed into the City in its present form. In light of the proposal, staff has several suggestions. First of all, the plans for driveways should be changed to reflect two drives instead of four. In order that some means of control may be established, over the land use of the entire ownership, staff is requiring that a preliminary plat of the other_ lots and a one -lob final plat of the Worthen site be submitted for the May llth Public Hearing. Engineering has commented that the plan for driveways needs approval by the State Highway Department. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: �v Approval, subject to comments made.
