Property Details
Property History: The subject property was annexed in 1986 and portions (Northern section) of the property were originally zoned "R-1" Single-Family Residential and another portion (Southern section) was originally zoned "RA" Residence Agricultural District. It was rezoned in 1989 to "B-2" Business District. Upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the previous base zoning district converted to the current "C-2" General Commercial District and "MF-33" Multi-Family District. The subject property is not platted in its current configuration. In 1972 it was developed with retail store, automotive service garage and carport totaling 2500 square feet of structures.
Topography: The subject property does not include any abnormal physical features such as significant slope or inclusion in a flood plain.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and Zoning Commission (8-0) recommend approval, pending Plan Amendment
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The property is located within the Interstate Highway 10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan and is currently designated as Parks/Open Space in the future land use component of the plan. The proposed zoning change requires a plan amendment. The applicant has initiated an amendment to the IH 10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has found no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The subject property is located in a finger annexation of the city. The surrounding area is outside of the city. The existing zoning of "C-2" within the north portion of the subject property fronting Interstate Highway 10 East is considered to be an appropriate zoning district along with "NP-10" on the south section of the subject property.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has found no indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
The request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property measures 3.004 acres in size, which is sufficient to accommodate commercial development and required parking. The subject property is developed with building structure and parking area.
7. Other Factors:
None.
