' : � � � �i CONIlv1UNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM I NO. 95-08 'I January 11, 1995 TO: Honorable Mayor Erik C. Brechnitz and City Council Members FROM: James C. Bacon, Jr., City Manager George C. Weaver, Director of Community Development , Robert A. McQueen, Planner SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning Property at 646 West Pershing and Granting Special Use Permit The subject petition requests that premises commonly known as 646 West Pershing Road be rezoned from R-3 Single Family Residence District to O-1 Office District; petitioner further requests approval of a Planned Unit Development for said premises and an adjoining vacant lot presently zoned R-3 Single Family. Property to the immediate south across Pershing Road is developed commercially in accordance with provisions of a court order approved several years ago; this tract remains zoned R-1 Single Family. All other adjoining property is zoned single family and is accordingly developed or is vacant. Recognizing the existing land use and zoning patterns as noted, staff has advised petitioner that this tract and the adjoining residential area has long been established as such, and that Pershing Road has, in the past, been recognized as a boundary between commercial and residential development. While Pershina Road has an average daily traffic count of approximately 25,000 cars at this point, the residential neighborhood is established. Consequently, staf�s approach to possible rezoning was to consider a proposal only as a Planned Unit Development, which would offer the benefits of development controls regarding building design and location, vehicular access, screening and landscaping, etc. Since the rec�uest was tabled at the November, 1994 meeting, the petitioner has altered the proposal by reducing the size of the proposed building, the public off street parking area is shown in front of the building and adjacent to Pershing Road, and vehicular access is changed to include only an entrance from Montez Drive with a right turn in and right turn exit onto Pershing Road.
