Item: Presentation and discussion of the Rock Prairie / Greens Prairie Triangle Planning study
and the recommended amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Vision Statement #8,
Strategy #3b. Update the comprehensive plan through small area planning.
Item Summary: This study addresses Implementation Plan b. of Vision #8, Strategy #3,
whereby the Comprehensive Plan will be updated through the small area planning process.
The City's acquisition, in the fall of 2000, of property for a new Business Center on the north
side of Greens Prairie Road, resulted in a major change in anticipated future land uses in the
area. With this purchase, a large portion of land previously intended for single family
residential uses is now intended for industrial and business uses. This, along with water and
sewer impact fee lines that have been extended into the area over the past two years created
a need to review all elements of the comprehensive plan as they relate to this particular area.
The study area contains just over 1600 acres.
The report and recommendations were prepared with the oversight of a Planning & Zoning
Commission subcommittee. Chairman Floyd and Commissioners Happ and Trapani were
members of this subcommittee.
In general the proposed plan preserves the majority of the Rock Prairie Road frontage for
residential uses and places retail commercial and office uses along the SH 6 frontage and at
major intersections consistent with the City's adopted land use policies. The plan provides for
a mix of housing types and residential densities.
A number of changes are being proposed to the current thoroughfare plan. In general, this
involves a realignment of Pebble Creek Parkway and Lakeway Drive to accommodate the
access needs of the City's new business park as well as a realignment of Barron Road to
accommodate an existing closed landfill. In addition the location of the two east-west
collectors was modified.

Item Background: Small area planning is an effort to update the City's Comprehensive Plan
where necessary in response to changed or changing conditions in specific geographic areas.
The purpose is to work in a smaller geographic area rather than the entire city and to focus on
specific issues related to that area. The process involves city staff, property owners, the
Planning & Zoning Commission and sometimes outside consultants. Ultimately any proposed
changes to the comprehensive plan are reviewed and considered for adoption by the City
Council. These might include changes to the land use element, the thoroughfare element, and
the parks and utilities elements of the Comprehensive Plan for the specific geographic area
studied.
Budgetary and Financial Summary: NA
Staff Recommendation: Direct staff to prepare the resolution for plan adoption to be
considered at the April 25th Council meeting.
Council Action Options: Discuss plan recommendations and give staff direction where
necessary prior to the scheduled public hearing on April 25th

Regular Agenda
Weingarten Rezoning
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Lance Simms, Acting Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on an
ordinance rezoning 49.39 acres, generally located at the southeast corner of State Highway
6 and Rock Prairie Road, from A-O Agricultural Open, R-4 Multi-Family Residential, and C-2
Commercial-Industrial to C-1 General Commercial.
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended denial of the
rezoning request at their July 6, 2006 meeting. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning
request.
Summary: Weingarten Realty Investors is requesting this rezoning in order to develop a
retail "power center" on a number of lots consolidated by Weingarten Realty Investors in
conjunction with an additional 10 acres already zoned C-1 General Commercial. In total,
the development would consist of approximately 60 acres of land. The proposed shopping
center is likely to be anchored by a retail super center and will also include smaller retail
pad sites, restaurants, and other commercial uses. This rezoning is in compliance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Greens Prairie / Rock Prairie Small Area Plan.
Weingarten Realty Investors hosted a property owner's meeting on Monday, June 19, 2006
to introduce their project, discuss the rezoning and hear the concerns of the homeowners in
nearby neighborhoods. Questions and concerns from residents to Weingarten focused on
traffic, congestion, noise, lighting, landscaping, and the proximity of the development to the
neighboring subdivisions. Given the size and scale of this proposed development, the Non-
Residential Architectural Standards contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)
will be applied to the maximum extent, including but not limited to; double landscaping
points, larger caliper trees and required public spaces. Additionally, neighborhood
protection standards will be applied, such as streetscaping, outdoor lighting standards, and
buffering to mitigate noise and the visual effect of outdoor storage areas.
A traffic impact analysis will also be required prior to site plan approval. The scope of this
study will include an analysis of driveway locations, on-site circulation, operations of the
surrounding street system and intersections (including the SH 6 / Rock Prairie Road
interchange), and the impact on Stonebrook Drive and the neighborhoods immediately
north of Rock Prairie Road. Based on the requirements of the UDO, any impact that worsens
traffic operations below Level of Service D, will be required to be mitigated as part of the
development.
