ISSUE:
Plan Adoption Date: December 4, 2003
Update History: December 4, 2008
Goal 4.7: Recommend new light industrial uses in the general location of existing industrial uses and adjacent to residential development, to create an appropriate land use transition
Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Medium Density Residential: Medium Density Residential includes small lot single-family development, accessory dwellings, duplexes, cottage houses, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes. Exhibiting a medium density, this category provides for a diversity of residential development while still maintaining an overall urban residential character. Typically, Low Density Residential uses are found within this classification, and should be located in the center of the neighborhood, with Medium Density Residential being located at the edges of the neighborhood.
Example Zoning Districts:
R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6, RM-4, RM-5, RM-6
Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Light Industrial: This classification includes a mix of light manufacturing uses, office park, and limited retail and service uses that service the industrial uses with the proper screening and buffering, all compatible with adjoining uses. High quality development is desired. Outside storage is not permitted (must be under roof and screened). Examples of light industrial uses are cabinet shops, can recycle collection stations, lumber yards, machine shops, rug cleaning, clothing manufacturers, sign manufacturers, auto paint and body shops, and warehousing.
Example Zoning Districts:
L, C-3, O-1, O-2

LAND USE ANALYSIS:
The applicant requests this plan amendment and associated zoning change in order to have a manufactured home/oversized vehicle sales, service and storage use on the subject property. The subject property is located on a corner lot, and the perimeter of the area primarily consists of industrial uses. The subject property’s location is within close proximity to Loop 410, and because it is perpendicular to an entrance into the existing neighborhood, this property serves as an appropriate site for a light industrial use. Additionally, the requested zoning of “L S AHOD” allows for conditions to be placed on the project to provide appropriate buffers and screening.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the Arena District Community Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Approval. This request for the Light Industrial land use classification is in alignment with the goals of the Arena District Community Plan to recommend new light industrial uses in the general location of existing industrial uses.
