RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval. Zoning Commission recommends Approval (8-0).
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 Heritage South Sector Plan, and is currently designated as Agribusiness Tier in the future land use component of the plan. The requested “L” Light Industrial base zoning district is consistent with the future land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “MI-1” base zoning districts are appropriate for the subject property’s location. The requested zoning district of “L” is also appropriate for the subject property’s location.
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 rezoning request does not appear to conflict with land use goals and strategies of the Heritage South Plan as it markets Heritage South as a business friendly environment by creating a brand for Heritage South building on the vision for the area.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property totals 0.153 acres in size, which should reasonably accommodate the uses permitted in “L” Light Industrial District.
7. Other Factors:
The applicant proposes a car lot on the subject property. The surrounding properties to the south and east of the subject property are commercial uses that will not alter the characteristics of the area. The request to rezone the subject property will make the land uses more compatible with one another.
