STAFF RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff supports the annexation.
Staff supports the initial zoning. While the site is not in conformance with the Future Land Use designation of Mixed Use Center, the site is adjacent to M-1 zoning and a proposed industrial park to the west. The proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding uses.
IMPACT ANALYSIS
M-1 (Light Manufacturing District):
The purpose of the M-1 (Light Manufacturing District) is to encourage the development of manufacturing and wholesale business establishments which are clean, quiet, and free of hazardous or objectionable elements such as noise, odor, dust, smoke or glare. Research activities are encouraged. This district is further designed to act as a transitional use between heavy industrial uses and other less intense and residential uses.
Is this change contrary to the established land use pattern?
No. The site is an existing automobile impound yard, automobile wrecker service, and an automobile auto auction facility. The tract to the south is used as a crane and hauling service.
Would this change create an isolated zoning district unrelated to surrounding districts?
No. The area to the north and west is zoned M-1. The area to the east and immediately south is unzoned.
Will change adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood?
No. There are no residential neighborhoods in the area.
Are there substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with existing zoning?
