Regular Agenda
Fairfield 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 16.036 acres from R-1 (Single-Family Residential) to R-4 (Multi-Family
Residential) generally located on the north side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South between
Holleman Drive West and Jones-Butler Road.
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously voted to
recommend approval of the request at their meeting on 5 April 2007. Staff also
recommends approval of the request.
Summary: The applicant is requesting a rezoning to R-4 (Multi-Family Residential) in order
to develop the property as an apartment complex. The property is bound by the Zone
Apartments and John Crompton Park to the north, vacant R-1 zoned property to the east,
vacant R-4 zoned property to the west and Harvey Mitchell Parkway S. to the south.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property is identified as Residential-
Attached with a small portion as Floodplains & Streams on the Land Use Plan. The area
identified as Floodplains & Streams does not lie within a special flood hazard area, nor can it
serve as an expansion of John Crompton Park due to the extension of Jones-Butler Road.
Holleman Drive and the portion of Jones-Butler Road that borders this property are
classified as major collectors. Harvey Mitchell Parkway South is classified as a
Freeway/Expressway on the Thoroughfare Plan. This request is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Currently there are 1,175 acres of Residential Attached on the Comprehensive Plan and
1,387 acres zoned R-4 Multi-Family or R-6 High Density Multi-Family. Additionally, there
are 887 acres developed as a multi-family use among all zoning districts.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1970 and subsequently zoned R-1
Single-Family Residential. The property is currently unplatted. Jones-Butler Road is
currently under construction and scheduled be completed by the end of May 2007.
Budget & Financial Summary: None requested.
