Project Number: 07-00500049
Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a rezoning of 1 lot on
16.036 acres generally located on the north side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway between Holleman
Drive and Jones-Butler Road from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-4 Multi-Family
Residential.
Applicant: Veronica Morgan, Agent for the Owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the request.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting the rezoning from R.-1 Single Family Residential to
R-4 Multi-Family residential in order to develop the property as an apartment complex. The
property is bound by the Zone Apartments zoned R-4 Multi-Family and John Crompton Park to
the north, vacant R-1 Single Family to the east, vacant R-4 Multi-Family to the west and Harvey
Mitchell Parkway to the south.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property is identified as Residential-
Attached with a small portion as Floodplains & Streams. 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 this portion of Jones-Butler Road are classified as major collectors and
Harvey Mitchell Parkway 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.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: None.
Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the question
of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission options are:
1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted;
