Planning Commissio* July 28, 2003 Page 2 RZN 03-22.00: Rezoning (Pope, pp 136) was submitted by Ronny and Karen Pope for property located at 1750 E Zion Road. The property is zoned R-A, Residential Agricultural and contains approximately 2.0 acres. The request is to rezone the property R-O (Residential Office). I loover: Welcome to the Planning Commission meeting for July 28, 2003 . Renee, will you call the roll please'? Roll (:all: Upon the completion of roll call there were seven Commissioners present with Commissioners Ostner and Anthes being absent . Hoover: 'Thank you. The next item of business is approval of the minutes from the July 14, 2003 meeting. Do I hear a motion? Allen: I will move for approval of the minutes. Bunch: Second. Hoover: Call the roll please. Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to approve the minutes of the July 14, 2003 meeting was approved by a vote of 7-0-0- Hoover: Next is RZN 03-2200 for property located at 1750 E . 'Zion Road. Dawn, do you have the staff report on that'? Warrick : Yes. This item was tabled at your last Planning Commission meeting by the applicant and representatives of the seller. This is a rezoning request for two acres located at 1750 F. Zion Road. The subject property currently contains a single-family home containing three bedrooms. The surrounding properties include undeveloped property to the north, a top soil excavation operation to the cast, single-family housing to the west and to the south across Zion Road multi-family dwellings. While there is a mixture of land uses located south of Zion Road on the south side the north side has remained primarily residential with a few intermittent uses. The proposal is to utilize the existing structure on the property and convert it to a small professional office with the outward appearance of the structure to remain basically as it is with possible improvements to the driveway and access point onto Zion Road. In order to do that the applicant is requesting to rezone the property from R-A, Residential Agricultural to R-O, Residential Office. With regard to infrastructure, access to the site is from Zion Road. Zion is designated a collector on the Master Street Plan. 'rhe street in this location is not currently constructed to city standards for a collector. There is no curb, gutter or storm drain currently. The ditches on either side are fairly steep. 'To the north the Planning Commission July 28, 2003 Page 3 street is overgrown with vegetation. There is water and sewer available to the site in the form of a 12" water line and an 8" sewer line both along Zion Road. The Future Land Use Plan does designate this particular site as residential and the request for zoning to Residential Office is not consistent with that land use plan designating as residential. The zoning review team did inspect this site prior to the last Planning Commission meeting. Comments from members of the zoning review team are included in your packet. Access and traffic were concerns that were voiced by the majority of the members on the team. With regard to specific findings of staff, the finding with regard to the proposed zoning being consistent with the land use planning objectives, principles and policies the finding is: The requested rezoning is not consistent with the adopted General Plan. This area is designated to be residential on the Future Land Use Map. The Residential Office district has in the past been used as a transition zone and is an appropriate transition zone when areas are called out to be residential . However, the subject property is not located in a transitional area between properties that are single-family and either a higher density residential or a commercial type use. With regard to whether the zoning is justified and/or needed the findings are: The proposed zoning is not needed at this time. 'There are other properties within the general area already zoned or identified on the Future Land Use Map to be developed with office uses. With regard to the finding on whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and connection: The proposed zoning would increase traffic danger in the area. The current condition of Zion Road is not desirable. Site distance, a poorly configured access drive, and the narrow width of Zion Road in this area all affect this site. Any increase in traffic would be detrimental without improvements to the street. With regard to whether or riot this proposal would increase population density: The finding is that it would not. Since the last Planning Commission meeting 1 have supplemented your staff report starting on page 1 . 18. You have a memo and then some additional materials. Included in those materials are a response from Mr. James McCord who is an attorney representing the applicants. That is found starting on page 1 . 19. Included in that is a proposed Bill of Assurance for this particular site and l will defer to Mr. McCord and his clients to present that to you. Also included in your packets starting on page 1 .22 there are some trip generation calculations for the two acre site. '1'lic first is reflecting development of two acres for offices, which would generate approximately 390 vehicle trips per day on an average weekday. The second is for a three employee single-tenant office building, which is the proposal by the applicant, which would generate approximately I I vehicle trips per day and the third calculation is for one single-family dwelling, which would generate approximately 10 vehicle trips per day. Following that information are Planning Commission minutes from July 14, 1986. 1'hesc minutes reflect a request Planning Commissiol July 28, 2003 Page 4 for rezoning the subject property from Agricultural to Residential Office, which is the same request that you are hearing at this time. The Planning Commission voted 8-0-0 to deny the rezoning request, which was in support of staffs recommendation for denial at that time. Following that information the last piece that was included are Planning Commission minutes and the staff report for an item that you heard on May 12, 2003 , which was a request to rezone property in this general arca. It is on the south side of 'Lion Road at the southwest comer of Zion and Vantage Drive for rezoning three acres from R-2, Residential Medium Density to R-O, Residential Office. Staff was not in favor of that recommendation and the Planning Commission did fail to make a motion on that item. That information was added for you for your consideration this evening. Staff has not changed our recommendation with regard to this particular request. We do feel that it is inappropriate and recommend denial of the Residential Office request at this time. I louver: ' thank you Dawn. Would the applicant come forward'? McCord: Madam Chair, Commissioners, my name is Jim McCord, I represent Ronny and Karen Pope, the applicants on this requested R-O zoning. We recognize the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed R-O zoning is reasonable. To make the determination of reasonableness requires consideration of all relevant factors and not just the General Land Use Plan or Future Land Use Plan, which are merely guides in making a rezoning decision. What I would like to do in demonstrating why this request is reasonable is to go through first the supplemental materials that have been presented to you and then the memorandum that I ' ve submitted, which I' m sure you've read and 1 won' t go through it in its entirety but I would like to summarize it because I think it makes several important points that demonstrate why this request is reasonable. The first on the traffic issue, staff has provided trip generation calculations from the Institute of "Transportation Engineers. I find it interesting to note that the projections from that institute are basically the same for the three person accountant' s office that is being requested in this rezoning and a single- family residence. If you compare those they are nearly identical . Obviously, if you had a big office it would be higher traffic and an irrelevant projection has been included. The traffic issue 1 think is a non- issue because the proposed use of the property would not increase traffic. The Fayetteville Police Department itself found that the proposed rezoning would not substantially increase traffic congestion . You have your own police department and the I .T.E. projections demonstrating no increase in traffic if the proposed use and R-O zoning is approved. As far as the earlier decisions by the Planning Commission on this property, that can be distinguished because the applicant proposed to construct a small office building behind the single- family residence that is on the property. In this
