Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan depicts the bulk of the parent tract to be intended for Residential Attached use, which is inconsistent with the current R-1, Single Family zoning of the subject property. Rezoning the subject property to R-4, Multi-Family, will allow the remaining 0.4848 acre tract to be more harmonious with the larger 9.08 acre parent tract. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The 9.08 acre parent tract of the subject property is zoned R-4, Multi-Family, with no current development. The subject property has Thoroughfares on the other three sides consisting of Harvey-Mitchell Parkway and Jones- Butler Road. The other surrounding properties consist of multi-family uses and vacant tracts. A rezoning of the subject property will be consistent with surrounding uses. Page 4 of 5 Planning &Zoning Commission July 17, 2008 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 proposed rezoning will allow the subject property to be developed with the adjacent property. 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 was originally intended to be part of the larger parent tract which was rezoned in 2007. However, at the time of rezoning, the subject land was under ownership of Brazos County. Instead of waiting to rezone the entire property, the developer of the parent tract opted to continue the process and attempt a rezoning on the subject property at a later time. Now that the developer has acquired the subject property, the current zoning of R-1, single family, is not compatible with the future use of the parent tract. In addition, the configuration of the subject property does not allow for a single-family development which must be a minimum of 50 feet by 100 feet. 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 property's current marketability is limited by it configuration. The rezoning will allow it to be developed with the adjacent property. The subject property will provide access to Jones- Butler Road for the 9.08 parent tract. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 8-inch, 18-inch, and 24- inch water mains along Jones-Butler Road and an 8-inch water main along Holleman Drive available to serve the property. There is also a 6-inch water main extension to the property along Jones-Butler Road. Sanitary sewer service may be provided by an existing 15-inch main located along the northwestern and western property lines. Drainage is mainly to the northeast within the Bee Creek Tributary "B" basin. The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the Harvey-Mitchell Parkway and Jones-Butler Road intersection. All utilities shall be designed in accordance with BCS Unified Design Guidelines at the time of Platting and Site Development. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The current zoning of R-1, Single-Family Residential is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan of Residential Attached. The larger parent tract was rezoned in 2007 to R-4, multi-family which compliments the Comprehensive Plan designation. Staff recommends approval of this request. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1.
