ISSUE:
Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plan: IH-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan
Plan Adoption Date: March 2008
Land Use Plan: The plan emphasizes locating most commercial uses at nodes, or along highly traversed corridors. Commercial uses are also segregated by intensity of use, with Regional Commercial uses being located primarily at the intersection of highways and arterials and Community Commercial uses located where collectors are arterials meet.
More intense land uses may be allowed in intense land use categories subject to conditional zoning or a specific use authorization that would facilitate context-sensitive design in accordance with the Plan’s goals and objectives.
Objective: Enhance the diversity of other land uses (agriculture, residential, and commercial) so that industrial uses (freight transport, manufacturing and construction) do not dominate the Corridor.
Commercial Land Use:
Commercial development within the Corridor is situated mainly along major thoroughfares. The majority of commercial development along IH-10 is freight truck service stations, garages, sales, leasing, and rental establishments.
Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Land Use Category: “Community Commercial”
Description of Land Use Category:
Community Commercial provides for offices, professional services, and retail uses of moderate intensity and impact. Community Commercial should be located along arterials, preferably at intersections with other arterials or collectors. Community Commercial can serve as an appropriate buffer between low, medium, and high-density residential uses, or between an arterial and low density residential.
Permitted Zoning Districts: NC, O-1, C-1, & C-2 (except C-3 & O-2)
Land Use Category: "Regional Commercial"
Description of Land Use Category:
Regional Commercial provides for offices, professional services, and retail uses that draw on the customer base of a region. Regional Commercial uses are typically located at nodes formed by highways and major arterials or two major arterials. Regional Commercial uses can serve as an appropriate buffer between an arterial or highway, and lower intensity commercial or medium to high-density residential uses.
Permitted Zoning Districts: NC, O-1, O-2, C-1, C-2, & C-3

RECOMMENDATION:

The applicant seeks the proposed plan amendment from “Community Commercial” to "Regional Commercial" to rezone for Truck Repair, Maintenance, and Storage. This is consistent with the IH-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan goals for commercial land uses within the Corridor, which are situated mainly along major thoroughfares. The majority of commercial development along IH-10 is freight truck service stations, garages, sales, leasing, and rental establishments.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the IH-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
