TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District to C-M
(Commercial-Manufacturing) District or more restrictive district.
FILE: 1824-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Ed Edson III is requesting a zone change from GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District to C-M
(Commercial-Manufacturing) District for the property located at
2208-2212 W. Cardinal Drive. A portion of the 8.2 acres of land is
currently occupied by four buildings with the remainder being vacant.
The buildings are rented to a variety of commercial/industrial type
businesses. In 1989, a specific use was approved for the subject
property permitting the warehousing, processing and bailing of
non-ferrous scrap metal for off-site recycling.
Phelan Investments is negotiating the purchase of the property. It is
that company=s desire to develop the remaining vacant property and
to market the development to transport companies, contractors,
wholesalers and others. The current zoning does not allow those
types of businesses without a specific use permit. The zone change
would allow Phelan Investments more flexibility as to the type of firms
it leases to. In 1992, a six acre tract of land at 2070 W. Cardinal
Dr. was rezoned to C-M.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as an Activity
Corridor. The types of uses typical of an activity corridor include
highway commercial and open display retailing, wholesale distributing
and warehousing operations, restricted light industry, business offices,
hotels and motels and higher density residential development.
Exhibits are attached.
