No
Background:
The proposed site is located on the north side of 1st Street just before it makes a 90 degree turn north and
turns into Penland Street going north towards Highway 121. The site is five (5) blocks south of 121 and four
(4) blocks east of Riverside Drive. Access to the site is through neighborhood streets that are predominately
residential in character. The neighborhood is the McCall -Hightower Addition and is contained within NEZ
Area 4. The applicant is requesting to rezone from "E" Neighborhood Commercial to "I" Light Industrial, for
industrial/warehouse development.
The area around the proposed site is mostly residential in nature, with land to the north and west are
developed as single-family residences. The site does share its eastern boundary with existing light industrial
zoning for a portable restroom warehouse.
The site is adjacent to, but has no direct access on to either the E. 41h Street bridge or the rail line. The
street network accessing the site appears to be unsuited to handle industrial or truck traffic. Aside from the
isolation of the site from thoroughfares and the potential for industrial traffic to cut through residential areas,
the site is earmarked for single-family residential use in the latest adopted Comprehensive Plan. The use
of "E" Neighborhood Commercial zoning acts as a buffer between residential and industrial zones. Removal
of the buffer will promote more intense industrial zoning within a primarily residential area.

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is requesting to rezone from "E" Neighborhood Commercial to "I" Light Industrial for
industrial/warehouse use. East of the site is existing "I" Light Industrial, occupied by a portable
restroom company with outside storage. The properties to the north and west are existing
established residences.
While a small warehouse is planned as part of the current rezoning proposal, it is not guaranteed
to be built as presented. Rezoning the site from "E" to "I" would open the property to any uses
allowed by right in "I", which are generally more intense land uses than what is presently allowed
under "E" Neighborhood Commercial zoning. Considering the context of the neighborhood as a
whole, the existing industrial use to the east is an anomaly as the remainder of industrial zoning is
located on the opposite side (east side) of Penland Street. As such the proposed "I" Light Industrial
zoning is not compatible at this location.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Northeast
The 2021 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Single -Family residential. The
proposed "I" Light Industrial zoning does not follow the intended future land use; and, the following
adopted policies recommend placing the industrial use elsewhere within the City and retaining the
current zoning designation of "E" neighborhood commercial:
Promote appropriate infill development of vacant lots within developed areas, which will
efficiently utilize existing infrastructure
Locate large industrial uses along freight lines, highways, or airports within industrial
growth centers and other appropriate locations
Encourage the revitalization of commercial districts with neighborhood oriented retail,
services, and office space
Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is not consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends either maintaining the current "E" zoning to buffer the
neighboring industrial and residential uses, or downzoning to a Single -Family zoning classification
that would align with the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
