Regular Agenda
Oakland Ridge Comprehensive Plan Amendment
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 the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for 39.873 acres from Rural
Residential to Single-Family Residential, Medium Density, Single-Family Residential, High
Density, Residential Attached and Planned Development for commercial and office uses for
the property located at 11800 Jones Butler Road generally located on Jones Butler Road

Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously

recommended approval.
Summary:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The subject
property began developing in 2006 under ETJ regulations with an approved Master Plan
for single-family detached, townhome, multi-family, and commercial uses. The property
was annexed in 2008, and is requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment in order to
pursue a rezoning that reflects the uses that were approved on the Master Plan in 2006.
The applicant feels that the expected increase of population in the general area
surrounding the property warrants the need for a planned development portion to
accommodate possible future commercial development.
2. Compatibility with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan: The area
immediately surrounding the subject tract has developed for duplex development (Las
Palomas) and urban density single-family residential and townhomes have also been
approved in the area for Great Oaks Subdivision and further south on Cain Road. These
uses are not compatible with the overall rural residential character of the area which the
Comprehensive Plan projects at the City's edge, but is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan amendments that have recently been approved in
the area.
