Docket No. PZ-2020-00130 Z: 0 E. 116th Street Rezone The applicant seeks to rezone a vacant parcel from R-1/Residential to B-3/Business. Half of the site is currently zoned B-3, this rezone would make the entire parcel the same B-3 zoning classification. The overall site is 2.14 acres in size. It is located at 0 E. 116th Street (just east of 1701 E. 116th Street) and is currently zoned R-1/ Residential. It is within the Range Line Rd. Overlay Zone. The site is also partially within the Floodway and Floodplain. Filed by Warren Johnson for Coyote Enterprises, owner. Project Overview: This site is located southeast of 116th and Westfield Blvd./Rangeline Rd. The corner parcel immediately adjacent to this property is also owned by the applicant and is zoned B-3/Business. To the east there is an office building on a parcel zoned B-5/Business and partially R-1/Residential. The rest of the area to the east and south is zoned R-1/Residential. The Creekside subdivision is to the south and Woodland Golf Club subdivision is further to the east. North across 116th Street is zoned B-3/Business and B-8/Business, with a gas station and multi-tenant shopping center. To the west across Westfield Blvd. is the proposed Corner Redevelopment by Kite, zoned C-1/City Center. Please view the Petitioner’s informational packet for more detail. Comprehensive Plan (C3 Plan) Analysis: The area of this proposed rezone is classified as Community Vitality Node (CVN). The purpose of the CVN is to establish areas for community serving and neighborhood serving commercial development. New commercial developments would be limited by site constraints, maximum building envelope, maximum impervious surfaces, and on-site parking requirements. Buildings should be oriented to the street with small front setbacks. Pre-development environmental features (such as the woods and Carmel Creek Tributary to the south) should be protected. Transportation Plan analysis: The Thoroughfare Plan identifies 116th Street as a Parkway Arterial Street, which requires 120’ total right-of-way (ROW). Currently, 116th Street has about 100’ of ROW across this parcel. Westfield Blvd. is classified as a Conservation Corridor Collector Street, which requires 90’ of ROW. About 88’ of ROW is currently dedicated. 5’ wide sidewalks are existing across both street frontages. A round-a-bout is proposed for the intersection of 116th Street and Westfield Blvd. The Petitioner has been working with the Engineering Department regarding necessary right-of-way and improvements for the site. B-3/Business District and Range Line Road Overlay analysis: Development Plan and ADLS approval would be required for any new development of this site. The site is also within the Floodway and Floodplain, leaving much of the site un-developable. (See image to the right.) The areas that could be developed are along the street frontages. The Range Line Road Overlay requires a minimum building height of 2 stories. Lot coverage would be per the B-3 District and is limited to 80% of the site. Permitted uses would be per the B-3 District, unless prohibited by the Range Line Road Overlay (i.e. auto sales, storage and/or warehousing, etc.). DOCS Comments/Concerns: None. Recommendation: The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission votes to suspend its Rules of Procedures to vote to send this item to the City Council with a Favorable Recommendation this evening.
