Project: 221 West Prospect Road Rezoning, #25-04
Project Description: Request to rezone approximately 0.62 acres from E —
Employment District to CC — Community Commercial
District. The site is located at 221 West Prospect
Road, on the south side of West Prospect Road, east
of Tamasag Drive.
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence:
Bob Barkeen, City Planner gave the staff presentation, recommending approval. He
noted that the property is adjacent to the BNSF Railroad tracks and that the properties
to the north of this are zoned Community Commercial. The requested zoning for this
site is Community Commercial. The parcel is located within the Campus District as
shown on the Structure Plan and is within the Mason Street Corridor Plan area. The
Plan shows retail and residential uses as well as office uses throughout the area,
showing retail and residential uses particularly near the transit stops, one of which is
just diagonal from this property. Office uses are allowed within either the Employment or
Community Commercial zones; retail is encouraged within the Mason Corridor Plan as
well as within the Campus District and is permitted in Community Commercial. Retail is .
only allowed in the Employment zone as part of a Community Shopping Center
secondary uses which would be able to occupy only 25% of the land area of a PDP.
The definition of a Community Shopping Center requires four separate users.
Therefore, 4 users would be able to occupy no more than 25% of the land area of the
PDP. Residential uses are permitted with the Community Commercial zone as multi-
family, particularly within mixed -use buildings. Residential uses within the Employment
zone are allowed but considered a secondary use and could therefore only be 25% of
the land area of the PDP. Restaurants and entertainment uses are also considered
secondary uses within the Employment zone. Staff decided that the Community
Commercial zoning did implement the strategies of both the Campus District and Mason
Street Transportation Corridor much more effectively than the Employment district does.
Planner Barkeen indicated that there are currently no definitive development plans for
the site.
