Summary
The commission approved zone case 1154-D to rezone a Parkway Drive property to Auto Urban Commercial; staff said the application shows a used-car dealership and noted the parcel provides a buffer to Alderson Junior High. Vote recorded 6–0.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved zone case 1154-D on April 23, rezoning a parcel at 2518 Parkway Drive from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Auto Urban Commercial (AC).
William Lee Stockton, who presented the staff report, described the property (Oates Addition Lot 3) and its proximity to Alderson Junior High School and a freeway frontage. Stockton said the future land use map designates the site for commercial uses and that staff had no objections. In response to questions about potential use, Stockton stated that the application indicated the site "will be a used car dealership." A commissioner also reported seeing a sign advertising car sales at the location.
No applicant representative appeared at the public hearing and no public commenters spoke. Commissioners noted the AC zoning would provide a buffer between the freeway and the adjacent junior high. The motion to approve passed by voice vote; the chair recorded the result as "Motion carries 6 to 0." Staff said the item will proceed to City Council for first reading on May 12.
The commission record reflects staff findings that AC zoning is compatible with the location and would conform with the comprehensive plan's designation for commercial land use.
