West - County residential
Former Zoning:
1934-; County
1975 - County; 1985 - County
Total Area: 14,062 sq. ft.
Property History: The property was a vacant wooded area along the back of a
residential property until its annexation in 2000. The residential use has been removed
and the property has been redeveloped for commercial use and extension of West 32"d
Street.
Physical Characteristics: The -property is a relatively level, triangular shaped lot
adjacent to existing large level C-2 lot.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan calls for a mix of
commercial and residential uses at this location.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: 1997 IDOT annual average daily traffic counts indicate
5,800 vehicle trips per day along West 32n~ Street directly east of the subject
property, and 7,300 vehicle trips per day along John F. Kennedy Road directly
north of the subject property, 8,700 vehicle trips per day along John F. Kennedy
Road directly south of the subject property, and 4,670 vehicle trips per day along
the Northwest Arterial directly west of the property. These counts however do not
take into account the recently completed Phase IV of the Northwest Arterial and
the reconfigured West 32nd Street alignment.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Rezoning Staff Report - Kivlahan Farm, L.C. Page 2
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided adequate erosion control and storm water control is provided during all
phases of development.
Adjacent Properties: The subject parCel is buffered by wooded hillside from most
of the property to the northwest and will be buffered from single and multi-family
residential development by a 50-foot right-of-way for platted Honeysuckle Lane.
These properties are currently undeveloped.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to expand an existing vacant C-2 parcel to
the north. The existing C-2 parcel is approximately 2.6 acres, and the applicant is
proposing to add a third of an acre to the C-2 District at its northern extreme. This
property is directly adjacent to the newly realigned West 32~d Street right-of-way, the
platted Honeysuclde Lane and a large undeveloped wooded area. A portion of the
property will be across the Honeysuckle Lane from R-3 and R-1 zoned residential
properties.
Staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 6-1.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance that establishes cdteda for reviewing rezoning requests.
