Item: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning for Klunkert Office Building located at
4090 Raymond Stotzer Parkway. This request is to change from A-O Agricultural/Open to C-2
Industrial Commercial. (99-146)
Applicant: Matt Klunkert
Item Summary: The subject property is in the process of being remodeled from a
nonconforming service station that was annexed into the City several years ago to a construction
office. The changes made thus far have fallen under legal nonconforming status, but the
applicant intends to expand the use to include on-site storage of construction materials, which is
beyond the scope of legal nonconforming status.
The Land Use Plan reflects the area as future light industrial/research and development. That
classification would call for exclusively industrial development, and the requested C-2 includes
several industrial type uses in addition to general commercial uses, such as those allowed in C-1.
The industrial uses listed in the C-2 district would be in compliance with the plan.
Item Background: The subject tract was annexed into the City in 1995 and was placed in an
interim A-O zoning classification. At the time of annexation, a service station existed on the
property. The preexisting use was permitted to continue operation due under statutory
annexation provisions. The current owner purchased the property a couple of years ago, and
remodeled the existing building into an office use without enlarging it, nor did he increase the
intensity of the land use. The replacement was thus permitted under the use's legal
nonconforming status. The applicant also replaced an existing nonconforming parking lot. This
action did not constitute enlargement of the land use and the replacement was therefore
permitted with the condition that it meet current development requirements.
Since 1995, three rezonings have taken place within the area bound by 2818, Raymond Stotzer,
and the City limits lines. Two of the three rezonings were similar to this request, in that they
were on individual tracts that had frontage on Raymond Stotzer and the requests were in
compliance with the Land Use Plan. Those tracts are now zoned M-1 and C-2.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: NA
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: NA
Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the question of
rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission options are to
recommend approval of rezoning as submitted, recommend approval with physical conditions
that will mitigate negative impacts, recommend a less intense zoning classification, recommend
denial, table indefinitely, or defer action to a specified date.
