Itern No. 14 TO: Mayor & City Council :loin Godwin, City Manager FROM: Alan Efi-ussy, AlCP, City Planning Manager SUBJECT: CHANGE IN ZONING FROM A COMMERCIAL TO A COMMERCIAL WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT (SELF-STORAGE/MINI-WAREHOUSE), AT 4605 LAMAR AVENUE. DATE. February 13, 2018 BACKGROUND: This request is to conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the petition of Robert Russell for a change in zoning frorn a Commercial (C) to a Commercial (C) with a Specific Use Pen -nit (SUP) (Self--Storage/Mini--''Warehouse), on City Block 315-A, Lot 1, ABST 208 Crow Survey being located at 4605 Lamar Avenue. This properly is comprised of 3.52 acres. At the February 5, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, no person spoke either in favor of or in opposition to, this request. The commission unanimously recommended approval of this rezoning request conditioned upon the submitted Site Plan and conditions. STATUS OF ISSUE: The city staff has determined the following: (A) Existing Land Use: The site includes an existing office building. This building fronts on Lamar; the rear of the property is vacant and that is the location of the proposed self- storage/rnini-warcho use uses. There is no flood plain on this property and there appears to be no other man-made and/or natural environmental constraints on this property (B) The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) within the Comprehensive Plan: The FLUP recomi-nends, approximately the front one-third of this subject property as Retail (R), and the remaining approximately two-thirds of the property is, Low -Density Residential (LDR), which is the single-family detached homes land use. I-lowever, the current zoning of Commercial (C) on this entire subject property is a more realistic land use recommendation, given the existing businesses in the area.
