The request is in the Ellis Mountain Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows
Service Trades District (STD) for the requested area. The Service Trades District
(STD) category provides for a selection of office, warehousing, and industrial park
activities that primarily serve other office service or industrial businesses. The
district is intended to allow support services to these businesses and to provide for
uses with an office component. A Planned Zoning District is required for any
development not wholly office. The application is to rezone from PCD to PD-C for
a drive-thru only financial-services site.
Surrounding the application area, the Land Use Plan Map shows: Service Trades
District (STD) north and south, to the east is shown as Mixed Office Commercial
(MOC) uses, and to the west is Residential Low Density (RL).
This site is not located in an Overlay District.
Master Street Plan:
South Bowman Road is shown as a Minor Arterial on the Master Street Plan Map.
Minor Arterials are high volume roads designed to provide the connections to and
through an urban area. Curb cuts should be minimized to allow for continuous
traffic flow while still allowing some access to adjoining property. Standard Right-
of-way (ROW) is 90 feet. Sidewalks are required on both sides. Access may need
to be limited. This street may require dedication of additional right-of-way and
additional street improvements.
Bicycle Plan:
The Master Bike Plan Map does not show existing or proposed facilities in this
area.
Historic Preservation Plan:
This property is not located in a Historic District.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant requests to rezone the 0.25 acre property from PCD to PD-C to allow
development of a federal credit union facility. The proposed credit union will be a
drive-thru only facility. The property is currently undeveloped and mostly tree
covered.
