Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning for the subject property from City C-2 (Community Commercial) and M-1 (Industrial) to CIP (Commercial/Industrial Planned).
Analysis:
The project site is approximately 3.2 acres. The property is generally located at the southeast corner of Thomas Avenue and Carver Drive, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is City C-2 (Community Commercial) and M-1 (Industrial). Currently, the property use is commercial and industrial and the proposed use is continued commercial and industrial use. The surrounding zoning designations are to the north and east City M-1 (Industrial), and to the south and west R-1 (Low Density Residential).

The existing land uses surrounding the property are single family residential, undeveloped property, convenience store and Ameri-Gas Propane.
Development of the parcel shall require connection to City utilities at the owner’s expense.
