Project Number: 06-00500125
Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a
rezoning from PDD-B Planned Development District— Business to PDD Planned
Development District for 1 lot on 1.939 acres located at 1111 Rock Prairie Road
generally located at the northwest corner of Rock Prairie Road and Rio Grande
Boulevard.
Applicant: Marek Brothers Construction, Inc., Agent for Dr. William Privett, Jr.,
Owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a rezoning from PDD-B Planned
Development District— Business to PDD Planned Development District so that
the applicant may complete the construction of a small medical office complex.
The original PDD zoning was approved in 2000 with a maximum building size of
5,000 square feet. The purpose of this rezoning is to amend the existing PDD to
remove the size limitation so that the applicant may construct a 7,200 square foot
medical office building.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Comprehensive Land Use Plan
designates this property as Single Family Medium Density. Rock Prairie Road is
a major arterial and Rio Grande Boulevard is a major collector on the City's
Thoroughfare Plan. The properties to the north and west are designated as
Single Family Medium Density and Institutional, respectively. However, all of the
surrounding properties are zoned R-4 Multi-Family Residential.
Item Background: A portion of the subject lot was annexed in 1975 and the
remaining property was annexed in 1986. Both properties were subsequently
zoned A-O Agricultural Open. In 1988 a portion of the property was rezoned
from A-O Agricultural Open to R-4 Apartments Low-Density. The entire property
was rezoned to C-N Neighborhood Business in 1988. The subject property was
platted in 1995 as one lot in the Southwood Forest Subdivision.
In 2000 the subject property was rezoned from C-N Neighborhood Business to
PDD-B Planned Development District - Business for the development of a small
medical and professional office complex. The PDD-B district was pursued
because the C-N zoning district limited the size of each building to 2,000 square
feet, and the applicant was seeking three 5,000 square foot buildings. Staff
recommended applying a PDD-B district so that the required concept plan would
be tied to the rezoning in order to protect the adjacent residential area.
Since that time, only one of the buildings has been constructed and the approved
site plan has expired. The applicant is now interested in completing the original
project, but it will not be in compliance with the building size conditions of the
PDD-B approved in 2000; therefore, the applicant is required to seek a rezoning
to remove the conditions of the PDD-B. Additionally, the Unified Development
Ordinance that was adopted in 2003 no longer requires a concept plan to
accompany a PDD rezoning request.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: NA
Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body
on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council.
The Commission options are:
1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted;
2. Recommend denial;
3. Table indefinitely; or,
4. Defer action to a specified date.
