The proposed rezoning is consistent with this designation in addition to the land use designation surrounding the subject tract ofGeneral Commercial. Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 4 of 5 December 6, 2012 íî 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed rezoning will enable the development of general commercial uses, such as Personal Service Shops, closest to State Highway 6 and will be consistent with the zoning and land uses of properties to the north and south. The back portion of the property will maintain the existing CI Commercial Industrial zoning. 3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed land uses permitted through the rezoning are well suited for this site, given its proximity to State Highway 6 and also to the adjacent commercial and light industrial uses. 4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The current CI Commercial Industrial zoning district is better suited at the rear portionof the property, due to the presence of State Highway 6 and its associated high level of activity at the front portion of the property. 5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The existing zoning of CI Commercial Industrial makes the property less marketable than it would be as GC General Commercial. The subject property is also located between an existing commercial site and a vacantproperty zoned for commercial uses. 6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 6- and 12-inch water mains serving this property. There is also anexisting 8-inch sanitary sewer line which currently provides service to the site. Drainage is mainly to the north within the Bee Creek Drainage Basin. Access to the site is available via State Highway 6 or Pinon Drive. Existing infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning based on its compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map and with the surrounding land uses.
