Explanation
Rezoning Application Z12-067
APPLICANT: Amerco Real Estate Company; c/o David B. Pollock; 2727 North Central Avenue, Unit 7H; Phoenix, AZ 85004.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage, truck rental, RV storage, truck and equipment maintenance.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 14, 2013.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposal is not consistent with The Greater Hilltop Plan Amendment (2010), which recommends community commercial development for the site. However, given the nature of this portion of the corridor, Planning Staff does not see a conflict with the proposed use. With the proposed screening and use limitations, Staff is confident this will integrate well with the area. Furthermore, this will put a large vacant tract and structure back into productive use. Due to these factors, Staff supports the proposed rezoning and deviation from the recommendation of The Greater Hilltop Plan Amendment (2010).
Title
To rezone 775 GEORGESVILLE ROAD (43228), being 32.4± acres located on the west side of Georgesville Road, 502± feet south of Sullivant Avenue, From: CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, To: L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. (Rezoning # Z12-067)
Body
WHEREAS, application #Z12-067 is on file with the Building Services Division of the Department of Development requesting rezoning of 32.4± acres from CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to L-M, Limited Manufacturing District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Hilltop Area Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because given the nature of this portion of the corridor, Planning Staff does not see a conflict with the proposed use. With the proposed screening and use limitations, Staff is confident this will integrate well with the area. Furthermore, this will put a large vacant tract and structure back into productive use. Due to these factors, Staff supports the proposed rezoning and deviation from the recommendation of The Greater Hilltop Plan Amendment (2010), now, therefore:
