The request to rezone 21.5 acres to I-P, Industrial Park, meets the designation
of Section 29-401 of the Zoning Code. In addition, the Industrial Park zone

is the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board that the rezoning to
I-P, Industrial Park, be conditioned on all development proceeding as a
P.U.D.under the criteria of the Land Development Guidance System.
BACKROUND:
The 21.5 acres are part of the 75 acre Timberline Farm Master Plan, approved
by the Planning and Zoning Board at their regular meeting of September 25,
1989. The request to rezone 21.5 acres represents the southern one-third of the
Master Plan and contains frontage along both Harmony Road and Timberline
Road. These two roads are designated as major arterial streets on the Master
Street Plan. The 1.7 acre corner parcel contains the old Harmony School and
the 19.8 acre parcel is in pasture.
Section 29-401 of the Zoning Code states that the I-P, Industrial Park, zone
district is designed to be in proximity to areas zoned for residential use, and
located along arterial streets. The location of the 21.5 acre parcel is in close
proximity to such existing residential neighborhoods as Sunstone Village, Fox
Meadows, Oak Ridge Village, Golden Meadows, and Harmony Road Mobile
Home Court.
The rezoning request is in conformance with the City's Land Use Policies Plan,
Policy numbers 60 and 61, which state:
"Industrial uses should locate near transportation facilities that offer the
required access to the industry but will not be allowed to create demands
which exceed the capacity of the existing and future transportation network of
the City."
"Industrial development should locate within the City or consistent with the
phasing plan for the urban growth area, where the proper size of facilities
such as water, sewer, and transportation has occurred or is planned."
On September 25, 1989, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval
of this rezoning request in a unanimous vote.
