Title: An Ordinance Amending the Town’s Zone District Map Rezoning Lot 4A Village North Amended From Planned Development (PD) to Light Industrial (I-1) (Second Reading - Approved on First Reading on October 2, 2018 by a vote of 6-0)
Executive Summary
Town staff and Planning Commission are seeking Town Council action to rezone the property located at 1407 North Park Street to Light Industrial (I-1). The property was zoned in 1980 as a Planned Development to allow for general motor vehicle repair and services. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property so that it will allow a wider variety of uses. No redevelopment of the property is proposed at this time.
On September 13, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Ordinance by a vote of 5-0. On October 2, 2018, Town Council voted 6-0 to approve on first reading.
Background
On March 6, 1980, the property was rezoned from Light Industrial District (I-1) to Planned Development (PD). The permitted uses for the PD were limited to general motor vehicle repair and services. At the time, general motor vehicle repair and services were an allowed use in the Highway Commercial District (B-1) and not in the I-1 District. In 2012, general motor vehicle repair and services became an allowed use in the I-1 District.
Current Zoning
The property is currently zoned Planned Development, general motor vehicle repair and services
The Proposed Zoning District Classification
The I-1 zoning district is intended to allow industrial development with minimal impact to residential and commercial areas. Development is limited to low intensity, external effects are limited and permitted uses are limited to those manufacturing and wholesaling activities which can be operated in a clean and quiet manner.
The applicant is requesting the rezoning so that the property may become more marketable to a wider variety of potential users. The applicant is not proposing any new development on the property at this time.
Discussion
Location
The property is addressed as 1407 North Park Street and is located in the Village North Subdivision. The Village North Subdivision is located north of Wolfensberger Road.
The properties to the east, north, and west of the property are all zoned I-1 and surrounding land uses are light industrial in nature including an office with storage yard and a mini storage facility. The properties to the south of the property are zoned Business (B-1) and also fall within the Wolfensberger North Overlay District. The land uses of these properties include a lumber yard and the Fire Department training center.
Existing Conditions
A 5,000 square foot building currently resides on the property with parking directly in front of the building. The back of the property is fenced off.
Review and Approval Criteria
The application for Zoning was reviewed against and found to meet the following zoning approval criteria outlined in Section 17.02060C of the Town’s Municipal Code:
1. Conformity with the most recently adopted version of the Town’s Vision, Comprehensive Master Plan and long-range or master plans.
2. Compatibility with existing and planned development on adjacent properties and in the surrounding area or neighborhood, or measures will be taken to substantially buffer or otherwise substantially mitigate any incompatibility.
3. Adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated.
4. Whether the property will have access to current or planned services and infrastructure adequate to support the orderly development of the property.
5. Positive economic impact potential from development of the property.
Budget Impact
The proposed zoning will not have an impact on the Town budget.
Staff Recommendation
Staff finds that the proposed rezoning meets the objectives and criteria of the Town of Castle Rock 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan and the Municipal Code.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the Ordinance as introduced by title, second and final reading.
