Summary

A rezoning of a 1.35‑acre Dantzler Lane parcel to commercial‑light industrial was approved on the condition that it be combined with an adjoining parcel to secure non‑residential access and prevent commercial cut‑through in a neighborhood.

The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of RR949, a request by Martin J. Bratcher to rezone a 1.35‑acre parcel on Dantzler Lane from MUC (mixed‑use community) to CLI (commercial light industrial), conditioned on combining the parcel with an adjacent property to obtain access from Jedburgh or Gallashaw Road.

Planning staff noted the CLI district discourages direct access through residential streets and recommended approval only if a combined plat provides access that would prevent commercial through traffic on Dantzler. The applicant and staff told the commission they are preparing a plat to combine the parcels; no public comments were received on this item. The commission approved the conditional recommendation by voice vote.

Why it matters: The condition aims to preserve neighborhood character and prevent commercial traffic on a residential road while allowing compatible light‑industrial uses where appropriate.
