Plannina Division:
LANNING:
No comments received.
The request is in District 18, the Ellis Mountain Planning District. The development
principles of the district include balancing market pressures for density and
protecting the natural areas. The Land Use Plan shows Suburban Office (SO) use
and Residential Low (RL) for the application area. The Suburban Office (SO)
category provides for low intensity development of office or office parks in close
proximity to lower density residential areas. To ensure compatibility, a Planned
Zoning District is required. The application is for a POD for an Office/Warehouse.
The Residential Low Density (RL) category provides for single-family homes at
densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential development is
typically characterized by conventional single-family homes but may also include
patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remains less
than 6 units per acre.
To the west of the application area is area designated for Suburban Office (SO)
use and is characterized by an office warehouse, an office, and three single-family
homes. South of the application area is area designated as Residential Low
Density (RL) use and is characterized by single-family homes, twenty multi -unit
townhomes, and several single-family homes on large lots. To the east and
northeast of the application area is area designated for Residential Medium
Density (RM) use and is characterized by a few single-family homes, office spaces,
and vacant lots.
This site is not located in an Overlay District.
Master Street Plan:
Kanis Rd. is a minor arterial on the Master Street Plan. Minor Arterials are high
volume roads designed to provide 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. Deceleration Lanes are required. Standard
Right-of-way (ROW) is 90 feet. Sidewalks are required on both sides.
White Rd. is a Commercial Street. Commercial Streets are a Local public street
that is abutted by non-residential or residential use which is more intense than
duplex or two -unit residential. These streets have the same design standard as a
Collector. The standard Right-of-way is 60 feet. These streets may require
dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements.
Bicycle Plan:
Kanis Rd. is not shown on the Master Bike Plan with existing or proposed facilities
in this area. White Rd. is not shown on the Master Bike Plan with existing or
proposed facilities in this area.
Historic Preservation Plan:
The application, as shown, should have no effect on identified historic resources.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to rezone 1.2 acres from POD/R-2 to POD. The
development will contain an office/warehouse building in the northern portion of
the site and three (3) single-family residential lots located south of the
office/warehouse. The office/warehouse will align with the existing development to
the west. The residential lots will take frontage along White Road to the east.
Properties in the general area contain office and residential zoning and uses in all
directions.
The developer will construct a new 8,000 square foot, one-story, steel frame
building in the north portion of the site, on Lot 1-R. The metal building will contain
a brick wainscot and a sixteen (16) foot eave height with a twenty-four (24) foot
ridge height. The applicant notes that the building materials and elevation will
match the existing building to the west. The proposed building will contain five
hundred (500) square feet of office space and 7,500 square feet of warehouse
space.
The site plan shows a building setback over twenty-five (25) feet from the front
property line, over thirty (30) feet from the side property lines and ten (10) feet
from the rear property line.
Access to the office/warehouse will be from a paved driveway extending from
White Drive, near the southeast corner of the proposed building. The
E
FILE NO.: Z-8092-A
office/warehouse will contain shared access with the office/warehouse
development to the west.
The site plan shows a total of thirty-one (31) parking spaces. Eleven (11) parking
spaces are located on the north side of the building, along Kanis Road. The
remaining twenty (20) parking spaces are located on the south side of the building,
near the entrance along White Drive. Staff feels the parking is sufficient to serve
the proposed use.
The developer is also proposing three (3) single-family residential lots as part of
the overall development. Lots 2R-A through 3R-C are shown to be located south
of the proposed office/warehouse. All of the residential lots will front White Drive.
Lots 2R-A and 2R-B are shown to be 8,400 square feet in area. Lot 3R-C is shown
to be 8,680 square feet in area. Lots 2R-A through 3R-C will be developed as per
R-2 standards.
Staff is supportive of the POD rezoning. To staffs knowledge there are no
outstanding issues associated with this application. The proposed development
will match the POD use to the west. Staff feels the development will be similar to
the intensity with the existing office and residential zoning and uses in the general
area. Although there will be a minor increase in traffic staff feels the proposed
development will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested POD rezoning, subject to compliance
with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, and F, and the staff
analysis, of the agenda and staff report.

FILE NO.: Z-8092-A
registered in support, voiced concerns that the 3 new residential lots being
proposed would completely change the characteristics of the 1-acre lots the
neighborhood has and that a clear cutting of all the trees was not wanted. Herrn
Northcutt, Margie Northcutt, Kathryn Roset, and Helen Lang, all registered in
opposition, deferred their time to Peter Tucker to speak on the issue. Peter voiced
concerns that White Road is smaller than a regular road width wise and that
developing 3 new residential lots would not be compatible with the characteristics
with the existing neighborhood and asked that the development be altered to fit
with the context of the neighborhood. He also expressed concerns that he hoped
no further damage to the lake would be incurred. There was a motion to approve
the application. There was a second. The vote was ten (10) ayes, zero (0) noes
and one (1) open position. The motion passed. The application was approved.
