STAFF COMMENTS /RECOMMENDATIONS
This request is for a portion of a currently unplatted' piece of roperty. It was. zoned R-I
when it was annexed into the City as an .interim zoning classif~cat~on. The Land Use Plan
that was adopted.in the early 1980's reflects his area as Office/Service. A subsegcent study,.
the 2818 Extension Study, was adopted in 1992. The Land'Use Plan far the roperty
fronting on 2818 was changed to reflect most of that area asOffice/Service..This change in
the Plan in the vicini of the sub ect tract would constitute a change in .conditions that
n'
would' justify a use other than'one sown on the older plan for the proposedsite:
Development Policies state that commercial development on an arterial should be a
minimum of 400 feet -deep and should be located at points of high vehicular access. Points
of highest access are defined by grade separations along`controlled access roads (freeways).
Theeproposed location and lot configuration meet these criteria.
The Development Policies further address access by recommendingg that drive entrances
should be minimized through the platting. and/or site plan process. If ownership has been
divided in the area a plat must be submitted. At the moment. rt appears that the entire 69.8
acre. tract remains under single ownership. If the rezoning, is approved, eventually the area
of the tract that is not included in this request should display a "step. down" approach to
buffering the single family development to the east and to the south.
y.~ Tlie request is not in com~ppliance with the Land Use Plan. However, the change in condition
'resulting from the .2818 Land Use Study which. provided additional area for .future .office=
commercial land uses coupled with compliance with Development Policies allows staff to
support this request:
Council will have an opportunity.through future platting or rezoning requests to achieve the
"step down" approach mentioned previously.
