Background:
Applicant: Jeff Steen, Attorney
Owner: BA Corner, LLC
Developer: BA Corner, LLC
Engineer: Sisemore, Weisz and Associates, Inc.
Location: Northeast corner of Tucson Street and Aspen Avenue
Size of Tract 40.71 acres
Number of Lots: 1
Present Zoning: A-1, RD, CN, and CG
Proposed Zoning: CH
Comp Plan: Level 6 (Regional Employment/Commercial)
BAZ 1970 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 40.71-acre undeveloped tract from A-1 (Agricultural), RD (Residential Duplex), CN (Commercial Neighborhood), and CG (Commercial General) to CH (Commercial Heavy). The unplatted property is located on the northeast corner of Tucson Street and Aspen Avenue. Other than a possible mini-storage near the east/central part of the property, Staff is not aware of any other potential uses on the property.
The existing zoning on the property was approved by the City Council in 1980 with BAZ 740 that encompassed 80 acres. While the zoning boundaries reflect Ordinance 832 that was adopted by the City Council on June 2, 1980, for BAZ 740, the property boundaries were modified with the development of the Creek Turnpike.

Recommendation:
Based on the Comprehensive Plan, the location of the property, and the surrounding land uses, Staff recommends that BAZ 1970 be approved, subject to the property being platted. If any portion of the property is determined to be within a 100-year floodplain, it shall be zoned FD. Portions of the property that are outside the 100-year floodplain shall be zoned CH after the plat is recorded.
