Regular Agenda
Crescent Pointe Rezoning
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Lance Simms, Acting Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion on an
ordinance for a rezoning for Crescent Pointe Subdivision consisting of 137.14 acres located
at 300 University Drive East in the general vicinity of Copperfield Parkway between
University Drive East and Harvey Road from M-1, Light Industrial to a combination of C-1,
General Commercial, A-P, Administrative Professional and R-4, Multi-Family.
Recommendation(s): This item was heard at the April 6, 2006 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting. The Commission denied a motion to recommend approval to the
Council by a vote of 4-2. Staff is recommending approval of this request with the condition
that no fence be constructed between the park and the R-4 property to the west (Lot 1,
Block 3, Phase 2)
Summary: Originally, this property was designated on a 2005 Master Plan to develop under
a Planned Mixed Use Development (P-MUD) Zoning District. The property is currently zoned
M-1, Light Industrial and has retained this district since its annexation in 1979. According to
the applicant, they have been unable to market the property for P-MUD and are seeking to
establish standard zoning classifications to meet the same intent of the mix of uses
approved on this property (Apartments, Townhomes, Office, and Retail).
This rezoning request is in compliance with an amended Master Plan which was approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 6th. The Master Plan approved proposed R-4,
C-1, and A-P Zoning Districts for the tract. The Land Use Plan designates this area as
Planned Development. The property was included in area 4A of the 30/60 Small Area Plan
which originally identified this area for Mixed-Use and made the following statement:
The area should be reflected as mixed use, with an emphasis on uses such as office,
commercial, clean industrial, and higher density single family and multifamily
housing. Low density housing should be discouraged. Housing that appeals to
professionals should be encouraged. The PDD district could be used to facilitate
design innovation and more intense commercial uses. Standard zoning districts that
permit high density single family, multi-family, clean industrial, offices, and
commercial uses that are conducive to tourism would also be appropriate in this
area.
This property is surrounded by property that is zoned M-1, Light Industrial to the west,
developed as Texas A&M, and undeveloped A-O, Agricultural Open, and PDD, Planned
Development District to the east.
The Thoroughfare Plan designates Copperfield Parkway as a minor arterial. Construction has
been completed by the City.
Draft minutes form the April 6, 2006 P&Z Meeting will be provided at the Council meeting.
