HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Review this property and the surrounding properties is a result of annexation in 1995 when A-O
Agricultural-Open zoning was placed on the property as a holding zone.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The subject
property is suitable for the proposed zoning district based on future development of
surrounding property. Properties directly to the north are currently unplatted. The
Southern Trace Subdivision, a multi-phased R-1 Single-Family development, is located
just past the unplatted properties to the north.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
subject property's current zoning district limits the potential for development. A-O,
Agricultural Open allows for agricultural uses, low-density residential or open space.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
owner is seeking to enhance the marketability of the property through the proposed zone
change. The applicant intends to market the property for future single-family
development.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Availability of water,
wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and
adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 18" water main located along
Barron Road that, upon extension, is available to serve this property. The Master Plan
shows a proposed 12" water line along FM 2154 that would need to be extended to and
through the property which would extend water service from Barron Road. The City has
a sanitary sewer project planned for this area. This property will need to coordinate with
the City's project to determine the best location for a lift station to serve this property and
the remaining serviceable area. Drainage for this property is mainly to the southeast.
Off-site utility and/or drainage easements will be required. This property's only access is
from FM 2154. According to the Subdivision Regulations, streets will be required to
project to all adjacent unplatted properties, allowing for cross-access to the north. All
utilities shall be designed in accordance with BCS Unified Design Guidelines at the time
of platting and site development.
