The purpose of the rezoning is to eliminate the existing split zoning on the parcel make the entire property viable for non-residential development. PRESENTER: Patrick Mallett, Planner II Patrick Mallett: Good evening. I'll be presenting the case. The representatives for the applicant are here and there are some adjacent property members that are here that probably want to speak in the case. I'm going to walk you through the packet. This is a general use rezoning request. It has a same format as most cases you see in terms of the abstract with a series of attachments. We have the abstract which starts on page 7 of your packet and ends on page 24 of your packet. It has attachments including the application starting on page 11. Maps of the parcel can be found on page 20, a site assessment on page 21, a statement of consistency which is attachment 4 on page 22, and then the ordinance amending the atlas on page 24. If you have any questions, I can answer them after the presentation. I would also like to note that I sent out an email yesterday regarding the property having a major transportation quarter overlay district in addition to the zoning. They are not proposing to change it or recommended to change it. The subject property is a little over 16 acres with two pieces of frontage. There is a landscaping contracting business on one side, with farm fields and a pond. There are several residential properties along the frontage of West Ten. The existing zoning areas in yellow are residential. The areas to the north of this property is zoned (ORM) Office and Researching Manufacturing. There is agricultural and residential zoning on the south side of West Ten and a neighborhood commercial area on this portion of the property. As you saw in the packet, this case is a split zoning case. The direction from the commissioners is to clean up the split zone pieces of property. This neighborhood commercial portion has a contracting and landscaping business on a portion of the property. The applicant, Mr. Doby, lives in this residence here. The site summary is that it is within the Cheeks Township with a pin number and owner, Wayne Doby. The existing zoning is neighborhood commercial and is approximately 1.71 acres. The rural residential on one side is 14.54 acres in the watershed and it would be MTC. The request is to consolidate these two zoning categories into 16.45 acres of General Commercial (GC-4). This is the land-use element of the comprehensive plan. The plan calls and designates this property as a commercial industrial transition activity node. The growth management system of the property is zoned as urban designated. In summary, this property like the other one that you heard in May was part of the batch in 2016 that was split zoned. Mr. Doby like Mr. Lawton, which you heard back in May, has asked to be taken off this list and had to ask to reinitiate his zoning in order to resolve it. Staff recommended rezoning this split zoning portion of the property to (GC-4) that is most consistent with the comprehensive plan and the land-use plan designation. Cheeks Township was originally zoned in 1984 and the non- residential portion of this property was established at least a year prior to that zoning. The zoning at that time did not
