ACTION FORM SUMMARY: This is a request to rezone 19.53 acres of land from A-1 (Agricultural) to G-C (General Commercial) through a Council initiated rezoning, and 19.45 acres from A-1 to G-C through an applicant initiated rezoning. The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommend that this rezoning be approved. A public hearing on this issue will be scheduled for April 27, 1993. BACKGROUND: The developers (Randall and Shubert Partnership) own approximately 58 acres that are located north of South 16th Street and west of South Duff Avenue, approximately 1/3 of a mile. The developer's property is located approximately 660 feet west of the new proposed K-Mart shopping complex. The developers are requesting that the City rezone this 58 acres into two different zoning designations. These are: Area to be Zoned Current Zoning Requested Zoning Easterly 19.53 Acres A-1 (Agricultural) G-C (General Commercial) Westerly 38.39 Acres A-1 (Agricultural) R-3 (Medium-Density Redential) In addition, the Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending that 19.53 acres between the K-Mart complex and the property owned by Randall and Shubert also be rezoned. This property in between is owned by the Zenor Trust and the Planning and Zoning Commission is recom- mending that the City Council initiate the rezoning of this as follows: From A-1 (Agricultural) to G-C (General Commercial) This report will analyze the rezoning of the 19.53 acres owned by the Zenor Trust and the 19.45 acres owned by Randall and Shubert. 2 ANALYSIS: Existing Land Use/Zoning: Property Land Use Zoning Subject Property Agricultural A-1 (Agricultural) North of Site Agricultural A-1 (Agricultural) East of Site Agricultural A-1 (Agricultural) South of Site Agricultural & P-C (Planned Commercial) Mobile Home Park R-5 (Mobile Home Park) West of Site Vacant A-1 (Agricultural) Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) . The Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Map designates this property as suitable for Commercial Service (CS) develop- ment. The General Commercial (G-C,') zoning district is an appropriate zone for creating commercial service opportunities. The following goals and policies of the Land Use Policy Plan apply to this rezoning request. C.I. GOAL: To create opportunities for the expansion of business in appro- priate areas while maintaining the usefulness and vitality of existing commercial development. C.1.4. Polic Adequate land will be designated for future community-oriented and neighborhood-oriented commercial development. C.1.5. Polic Commercial activity will be' encouraged to develop adjacent to major interchanges where traffic arterials will allow for safe ingress and egress. C.1.7. Policy: Adequate land should be designated for service commercial development. Utilities. The utilities in the area are adequate to serve the proposed development. Water Distribution: Existing: 12-inch water main in South 16th Street. 3 Proposed: A water main system for the site will be designed as part of the subdivision process for this site. Water main(s) will be looped through the development. Sanitary Sewer: Existing: 8-inch sanitary sewer main in South 16th Street. 54-inch sanitary sewer main extends east-west through the northern portion of the site. Proposed: Sanitary sewer extension through the site will be designed as part of the subdivision process. Storm Sewer: Existing: An 18" storm sewer in South 16th Street is adjacent to the southeast corner of the property where the City is initiat- ing the rezoning. No existing storm sewer abuts this property. Proposed: Drainage of the area will be directed toward Worle Creek to the west of the former railroad right-of-way. A storm water management plan for the site will be developed as part of the platting and development process. Electric: There is adequate provision for electric service to meet the needs of this future development. Transportation. This property abuts South Sixteenth Street on the south. This is an arterial street, connecting U.S. 69 and Elwood Drive. A traffic study was done to evaluate the traffic impact of this zoning change and the change in the LUPP map for the rezoning of this property to the west. That study concluded that the traffic generated by the proposed develop- ment will have little effect on the existing street network, however, the traffic engineer performing the study suggests that a traffic impact study be performed for this parcel when actual development is planned so that actual land uses are known to provide a better understanding of the impact to the system by the development. 4 A bike path is planned along the sout side of this property. Bike paths will be incorporated as part of the subdivision approval process. At the present time, Cy-Ride does n t provide access to this property. The closest stops are at the Veterina y Medicine Complex to the west and South Kellogg Avenue to the east. Comparison of Bulk Regulations.

STAFF COMMENTS: Rezoning of this 39 acre parcel of land is consistent with the goals and policies and the map designation for he Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) . Utilities are available to serve this property. Staff believes that the rezoning of this 39 acres from agricultural to com- mercial represents a logical westerly li t of commercial development The Land Use Policy number C.1.5 states that: "Commercial activity will be encouraged to develop adjacent to major interchanges where traffic arteri- als will allow for safe ingress and eFf ss." This site is within one-half mile of the Duff Avenue corridor. Stbelieves that effective commercial development will not happen beyond t point, and the Land Use Policy, which supports development near major interchanges on arterials, also supports the change of the Land Use designation from commercial to resi- dential beyond this parcel. 5 ALTERNATIVES: 1 . The City Council can approve of the rezoning request from A-1 (Agricultural) to G-C (General Commercial) , as submitted by the applicant, for the 19.45 acre parcel generally located north of South Sixteenth Street and east of the former Railroad Right-of-Way. A public hearing will be scheduled to receive public comment on this rezoning. 2. The City Council can approve of the rezoning of the 19.45 acres as requested by the applicant and initiate the rezoning of the 19.53 acres as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission from A-1 (Agricultural) to G-C (GenE,ral Commercial) . A public hearing will be scheduled to receive public comment on this rezoning. 3. The City Council can deny approval of the rezoning request from A-1 (Agricultural) to G-C (General ommercial) , as submitted, for the 19.45 acre parcel generally locat d north of South Sixteenth Street and east of the former Railroad Right-of-Way. 4. The City Council can refer this r quest back to the developer or City staff for further information.
