Analysis
SUMMARY:
Approval of a Zoning Change from Single Family-1 (SF-1) District to Light Industrial (LI) District on 2.87 acres. The subject property is currently zoned Single Family-1 (SF-1) District and lies within the State Highway 161 (SH 161) Overlay Corridor District. The property is generally located north of Josephine Lane, approximately 564 feet west of Gilbert Road; more specifically addressed at 106 & 110 Josephine Lane. The three tracts lie in the J. C. Read Survey, Abstract No. 1183, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas. The property is located in City Council District No. 1, represented by Councilwoman Jorja Clemson.
ADJACENT LAND USES:
North - Parcels north of the subject property are zoned Light Industrial (LI) District and is undeveloped.
South - The properties to the south are zoned Single Family-1 (SF-1) district and are partially developed for single family residential uses.
East - Located east of the subject property is zoned Light Industrial (LI) District and is primarily undeveloped.
West - The property to the west is zoned Light Industrial (LI) District and is partially developed for outdoor open storage uses.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change of a 2.87 acre property from Single Family-1 (SF-1) District to Light Industrial (LI) District in order to allow for more consistent zoning on abutting parcels to accommodate a future industrial use on the property.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan shows this area as appropriate for Mixed Use. The proposed zoning change for Light Industrial (LI) uses is inconsistent with the FLUM; however the request conforms to the existing surrounding land uses. A corresponding request is presented to change the FLUM designation on this property from Mixed Use to Industrial.
PROPOSED USE CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change from Single Family-1 (SF-1) District to Light Industrial (LI) District to allow for future industrial uses on the property. The purpose for rezoning the property is to establish consistent zoning on congruent parcels to allow for viable future industrial uses on the properties. When combined, the properties shall meet the minimum density and dimensional requirements of the Unified Development Code.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS:
If rezoned to Light Industrial (LI) District, the subject property will be governed by the Light Industrial (LI) District standards. Replatting of the property will be required prior to the issuance of any building permits.

REQUESTED APPEALS BY APPLICANT:
Tract 3 (Exhibit B) is deficient in depth per Light Industrial dimensional standards. Any proposed development on the property will require plat approval, at which time all proposed platted lots will be required to conform to Light Industrial standards.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee recommends that the Future Land Use Map designation on the property remain Mixed Use, and recommends that the zoning not be changed to Light Industrial, but rather to a Planned Development to retain the current residential uses and add commercial and industrial uses.
At its September 10, 2018 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 8-0 recommend approval per staff recommendation.
