Staff Recommendation

APPROVE O-1 (Office, Medical & Related Services) zoning, subject to 4 conditions (also applied to adjacent parcels 4 and 12 as part of MPC file #1-B-08-RZ):

---

O-1 zoning is the most comparable zone to the previous County OB (Office, Medical & Related Services) zoning. This property was rezoned earlier this year from A to OB, with the above recommended conditions, which also apply to the adjacent parcels 4 and 12 to the northwest. These two parcels, which were already in the City at the time of application, were rezoned from A-1 to C-6. The C-6 zone requires a 60' rear building setback adjacent to residential and the O-1 zone requires a 30' rear building setback. However, condition 2 above will require that, under either zoning, a 60 foot building setback will apply and a dense evergreen landscaping screen will be installed within that setback area along the entire length of the property. The owner wishes to develop these three parcels as one development, under C-6 zoning, which is why C-6 has been advertised also. The Southwest County Sector Plan proposes office uses for this site.

Staff maintains the previous recommendation for office uses at this site. O-1 zoning is more appropriate than C-6 for this site, which closely abuts two established residences and is across Cogdill Rd. from established office uses. Extension of commercial onto this site would be an intrusion into the neighborhood, but office use would establish a transition between commercial uses along Parkside Dr. and the residential uses to the south.

The owner of the subject property has also applied for a right of way closure on the section of Cogdill Rd. adjacent to this site. This street closure application is also to be heard by City Council (5-B-08-SC). If this right of way is closed, there should be some additional space that can be used for landscape buffering from the neighborhood.



The following recommended conditions were also applied to adjacent parcels 4 and 12 as part of MPC File No. 1-B-08-RZ:

1. No access to site from Cogdill Rd. or Alex Ln.
2. Establish a rear building setback of 60 feet adjacent to residential zoning and install a Type 'A' dense landscape screen within its entire length.
3. Include photometric lighting plan with development plans.
4. No exterior loudspeakers in development.
