RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
The proposed land use amendment from “Heavy Industrial to “Mixed Use” is requested in order to rezone the property to “IDZ-3 MNA AHOD” Infill Development Zone Airport Hazard Overlay District with uses permitted in "C-3” General Commercial District, a Bar/Nightclub without cover charge 3 or more days per week and Live Entertainment. The subject property is well suited for the “Mixed Use” land use designation proposed as it is located within 1 mile of both Interstate Highway 35 and 37, two major highways. The subject property also makes use of a once abandoned building for mixed-use development.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the Area District/ Eastside Community Plan.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
