Owner / Applicant: William Souder Estate, American Towers Site Location: 10900 – 11000 blocks Trinity Boulevard Mapsco: 54XY Proposed Use: Outdoor storage and truck parking without a primary use;
future industrial warehouse development Request: From: “AG” Agricultural
To: PD/I Planned Development for all uses in “I” Light Industrial plus outdoor storage and truck parking with no primary use; site plan included for outdoor storage and truck parking only
Land Use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible. Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is not consistent. (Minor Boundary Adjustment) Staff Recommendation: Approval with site plan, if amended to clarify
trees and shrubs will be installed in the front bufferyard
Background: The proposed site is located north of Trinity Boulevard and just east of Raider Drive. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to “PD//I” Planned Development for all uses in “I” Light Industrial plus outdoor storage and truck parking without a primary use. “AG” was the default zoning at the time the area was annexed. Properties on the north side of Trinity Blvd. are generally zoned “I” Light Industrial, “J” Medium Industrial, and “K” Heavy Industrial and used for industrial uses, including a water treatment facility directly to the east. The subject site has a deep channel on the most western side within the 100 year floodplain. There is no sewer service to the site and future development will require a connection from the west. A Predevelopment Conference was held concerning this proposed development. Discussion was held around a preliminary site plan and access to the property. City Transportation staff indicated that an additional crossing is not likely to be approved on Trinity due to the classification of the roadway and only one driveway is likely to be permitted. The topography of the property limits the proper locations for
Zoning Commission Recommendation: Approval by a vote of 8-0
Opposition: None Support: None

driveway cuts. If no median crossing is permitted, trucks traveling from the west will be required to turn around at the crossing at Mosier Valley Road. No detailed discussion has been held on truck routes or site access from the west. This site is just west of the historic Mosier Valley community. The eastern section of the neighborhood include a new city park which was dedicated in 2014. Additional adjacent property is being considered for purchase to expand the park. Recent zoning cases in the general area to single family residential have resulted in new home construction. Neighborhood outreach is beginning and a rezoning case is currently being processed to rezone this general section of Mosier Valley to match the future land use map and prepare the area for residential redevelopment. The case was continued at the March 6th Zoning Commission meeting to allow more time for staff to review the submitted site plan. The applicant submitted a revised site plan indicating a contractor storage yard with gravel surface area. A 30 ft. landscape buffer is shown within a 40 ft. Trinity River Authority Easement running parallel to Trinity Boulevard; the applicant has confirmed that landscaping is permitted within that easement. The landscaping within the buffer is not clarified on the site plan and appears to only include grass and concrete. Staff has requested that the applicant specify the landscaping intended for this area, and include trees every 30-40 feet and shrubs in order to screen the view of the industrial use to the public street. They are also providing an 8 ft. screening wall with 3 strands of barbed wire at the contractor yard entrance. There will be no on-site security. Conversations have been held with Transportation and Public Works staff concerning the driveway being used for access to the site. The existing driveway appears to serve the communications tower on the site. No parkway permit was found approving the construction or location of this driveway. TPW staff has relayed that the driveway spacing would be difficult because it would need to be 300 ft. from the cell phone tower driveway and 300 feet from the adjacent driveway. If the site plan is approved as submitted and with the driveway in this location, TPW will determine the final location of the driveway; the zoning site plan cannot determine the final configuration.

Site Plan Comments: The site plan as submitted is in general compliance with the zoning regulations. TPW/Transportation and Public Works: 1. The driveway spacing for your site would be difficult because it would need to be 300ft. from the cell phone tower driveway and 300 feet from the adjacent TRA driveway. There are no existing permitted driveways on the site today. There is not enough information to figure out how safe access to the site can be achieved at this point. Platting Comments:

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing a zoning change from to “PD/I” Planned Development for all uses in “I” Light Industrial plus storage/truck parking as a primary use. Surrounding land uses consist of vacant land to the north and west, water Treatment Facility to the east and a manufactured home subdivision to the south across Trinity Due to the existing industrial uses to the east and further west across Raider, the proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency
The 2018 Comprehensive Plan designates the site as General Commercial. The proposed outdoor storage, truck parking and light industrial uses would be permitted in I, J and K zoning districts with a Special Exception. The proposed zoning is not consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies:
• Separate incompatible land uses with buffers or transitional uses. Some land uses have attributes such as height, proportion, scale, operational characteristics, traffic generated, or appearance that may not be compatible with the attributes of other uses.
Based on lack of conformance with the future land use map and policy as stated above, the proposed zoning is not consistent (Minor Boundary Adjustment) with the Comprehensive Plan.
