RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
The I-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan encourages limiting industrial land uses to areas where industrial development is already prevalent. There are industrial businesses located along Green Road. The surrounding properties are predominately located outside city limits. The proposed land use amendment from “Regional Center” to “Industrial is requested in order to rezone the property from “C-3” General Commercial District to “I-1” General Industrial District. The requested land use amendment is generally consistent with the goals of the I-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan.
Relevant Goals of the I-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan:
• Goal 3: Compatibility of Land Uses Improve the quality of life and safety of residents of the IH 10 East Perimeter Planning area by addressing incompatible land uses.
• Goal 4: Improve the Corridor Analyze design standards that can be implanted along the IH 10 East Corridor
ALTERNATIVES:
