FOR: Mayor White, Mayor ProTem Mcllhaney, Maloney and Stewart AGAINST: None ABSENT: Crompton, Massey and Ruesink August 6, 2008 Regular Agenda Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 3227 Rock Prairie Road West To: Glenn Brown, City Manager From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on an ordinance amending to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Single Family Residential Medium Density to Industrial / R & D for 2.04 acres located at 3227 Rock Prairie Road West generally located south of the Williamsgate Subdivision and 2,000 feet west of the intersection with Wellborn Road. Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning at their July 17th meeting. Staff also recommended approval. Comprehensive Plan Review Criteria: 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The subjec': property is part of the Rock Prairie West Business Park subdivision that originally platted in 2002 and later replatted in 2004. A portion of the subject area (Lot 6R) was annexed into the City in March of this year. The remaining portion of the request (Lot 7R) obtained a development agreement by committing not to develop and thereby avoided annexation earlier this year. The owner is now petitioning the City to annex a portion of Lot 7R so it may be developed in connection with adjacent Lot 6R. In 2003, the City initiated a small area plan for the area known as the Wellborn Road/I&GN Triangle. As part of the small area plan, the land use designation for the portion of the Rock Prairie West Business Park within the City limits was changed from Single Family Residential Medium Density to Industrial / R&D. The area of the subdivision outside of the City at the time, including the subject property, retained the Single Family Residential Medium Density designation. Though the area outside of the City limits is designated Single Family Residential Medium Density, it has developed into a number of higher intensity and industrial-like uses such as a self-service storage facility, electric supplier and a manufactured home park. In March and May of this year, Council approved Comprehensive Plan Amendments that changed the land use designation to Single Family Residential High Density for the 13.44 acres immediately east of the Williamsgate Subdivision, which is across Rock Prairie Road West to the north and east of the subject property. Two other portions of the Rock Prairie West Business Park were rezoned to C-2 Commercial-Industrial. in 2003 and 2004 and have been developed as C-2 uses. Other development in the area includes the aforementioned 20-acre Williamsgate Subdivision which was rezoned to R-1 Single Family Residential in 2004 and has subsequently platted and is currently under construction. 2. Compatibility with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan: Adjacent to the subject property within the City limits is the Industrial / R&D land use designation while the adjacent properties outside the City limits are designated Single Family Residential Medium Density. The proposed land use designation expands the existing Industrial / R&D area from approximately 43 acres to 45 acres and is compatible with other uses in the vicinity. The developing Williamsgate Subdivision is to the north and east across Rock Prairie Road West, a Minor Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. Though not yet built to as a Minor Arterial, Rock Prairie Road West already has the 100-foot right-of-way width necessary to build it to the minor arterial standard. The thoroughfare provides the capacity for the proposed request and will help buffer the uses from the single family and townhome development in the area.
