At the time of annexation, the property hid ~ preexisting storagebuilding on it. when the use was :.changed without the City's knowledge, the property lost legal nonconforming status, and na use other than. an R- l use would no~v be pertr~itted. Due to enfar~ement action an the -,part of the City, the building has beep vaunt since May of 1992.. The subjec property ~s surrounded an threesides b C-1 zonin . It y ~, seerr~s unlikely that the subject property w111 be developed under Its present zoning classi~`ication. T© the north, across Barron Road, the Spring gook subdivision is zoned and developed fore sine le famil . .. g y res~dentlal use. Development policies suggest that a roadway may. prove to b~ an adeq~.~ate b~.~ffer between residential and commercial properties. The request is in compliance with the Land Use Plan. and would meet Zoning Ur~.inance; ~ninimurn lot size requirements. Technicall ,the lots y do not meet thle minimum depth policy that was adapted in_an effort to prevent strip dev+~loprnent.- However, the transition zone as shown on the land use plan, if itnp~emented throt~ h future rezonin decisions; should .. ~. g ellm~nate t~.e pass~b~l~ty of a commercial strip. Staff does have some concern regardin the fact that the re uest i for g q two relatively small, narrow tracts because each :lot has.-frontage on ~ Barran Road. Two eomnlercial huildin s In the iven con~i oration could ~ g result in the negative impacts associated with-strip developments (proliferation of sinage, ::numerous curb cuts:, etc. ). Replotting the tvvo tracts into a single lot would alleviate these potential. problems. Staff reoornmends approval.: with the provision that the two arcels be p replotted ~n.to a single lot:. Council may also opt to direct staff to encourage transitlanal (set-dawn) zoning for the property located to the west along Barron Road. In addition, Council has the option to direct staff to regt.~ire consolidation of access ..:and signage between the subject property and the vacant C-1 tract to the south.
