REZONING STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: January 4, 2017
Property Address: Lot 1, Cedar Ridge Farm Place#9
Property Owner: Nemmers Cedar Ridge Farm Partnership
Applicant: Tri-State Independent Blind Society, Inc.
Proposed Land Use: Office, Retail, Clinic Proposed Zoning: C-3
Existing Land Use: Vacant Existing Zoning: LI
Adjacent Land Use: North —Vacant/Commercial Service Adjacent Zoning: North —LI
East— Commercial East—LI/CS
South—Commercial/Commercial Service South —CS/C-3
West—Vacant/Commercial Service West—CS
Former Zoning: 1934—County AG Total Area: 3.1 Acres
1975 —AG Agricultural
1985 — LI Light Industrial
Property History: The property historically was a farmstead and under agricultural production
and was rezoned and subdivided in 1984. The property has remained vacant until the present.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is a level, 3.1 acre lot with over 400 feet of
frontage along Cedar Cross Road. There is no vegetation currently on the lot.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Land Use and Urban Design element of the
City's Comprehensive Plan states: "To promote a compatible mix of land uses" and to "To buffer
and protect incompatible uses from each other." The 2030 Future Land Use Plan calls for this
property to be developed for light industrial uses.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site
Traffic Patterns/Counts: ]DOT 2013 data indicates 9,100 average daily vehicle trips along
Cedar Cross Road in front of the subject property. Access to the property will be taken
from Cedar Cross Road. Development of this property should generate little additional
traffic relative to the overall traffic along Cedar Cross Road.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment provided
adequate erosion control and storm water management is provided during all phases of
development.
Adjacent Properties: The subject property is located along a busy commercial corridor and
is bordered by retail, commercial service and light industrial uses. The bulk regulations and
I
Rezoning Staff Report- Lot 1, Cedar Ridge Farm Place#9
Page 2
parking requirements for both the LI Light Industrial district and the C-3 General
Commercial district are similar. Development of the subject property for any of the uses
permitted in the C-3 district should have little negative impact on the adjacent properties.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone a level, 3.1 acre lot located on Cedar
Cross Road from LI Light Industrial to C-3 General Commercial district to facilitate relocation of
Tri-State Blind Society's office, bingo activity, low vision clinic and retail outlet from its current
Asbury Road location.
The subject property is located along the Cedar Cross Road commercial corridor and is
surrounded by retail commercial and commercial services business activity. The property is
located directly adjacent to a gas station/convenience store and contractor's shop and across
the street from a multi-tenant commercial building and equipment rental business.
Tri-State Blind's proposed facility will take its access from Cedar Cross Road and will be
required to provide adequate parking, landscaping and storm water management. The amount
of traffic, activity and demand on parking generated by the proposed facility should not be
dissimilar to that potentially generated by the uses currently permitted in the LI Light Industrial
district.
Planning staff recommends the Commission review the criteria established in Article 9.5 of the
Unified Development Code regarding property reclassification.
