Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation and answered questions regarding the zoning request.
He noted that this requested zoning is a revision to the existing Planned Development that
covers this tract. The tract is adjacent to Warrior Tire now under construction to the west
and Advantage Storage to the south. A minor automobile repair facility would be
allowed in this area; however, the proponent also includes some elements included under
the major automobile repair definition. This tract is ideal for this type of use because of
the existing buffering from surrounding residential properties if certain design elements
are addressed. The attached ordinance and site plan/landscape plan put in place those
elements which address the staffs concerns. With the proposed layout and ordinance
constraints no significant impact is anticipated on the nearby neighborhood. The Pit Stop
which currently exists to the east approximate one mile will be replaced by this location.

one acre tract with the intent to build a daycare center "Mudpies & Lullabies Daycare"
located in Anna. The site is located adjacent to a facility owned by the Anna
Independent School District that is used for athletic and FFA activities to the south. The
property to the north which has a single family home on it has joined in on this case.
Further to the north is the Germanic Insurance building where the Greater Anna Chamber
of Commerce office exists. According to the Adopted Comprehensive Plan this area is
slated for commercial development. As such this use is consistent with the Plan. Under
the City Code a daycare facility also requires a Specific Use Permit, which has been
submitted as part of this application. According to the proponent 60 children that attend
the Melissa facility live in Anna.
