REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates the
subject tract as Urban and is located within Growth Area VI, This Urban Growth Area is
described by the Comprehensive Plan as an area "for intense land use activities including
general commercial, office uses, townhomes, high -density apartments, and vertical mixed -
use." Commercial uses are an appropriate consideration for this area of the City given the
tract's location at the intersection of two major thoroughfares, Harvey Mitchell Parkway
(Freeway) and Holleman Drive West (4-lane Major Collector).

2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The property across Holleman Drive West is
developed as a convenience store with a fueling station and other commercial uses as
would be permitted by this request. The adjacent properties on the east side of Holleman
Drive West are zoned and developed for multi -family uses. The development of commercial
uses on the subject tract would require the installation a buffer yard along the property lines
of the adjacent multi -family developments.
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
request would allow the development of commercial and/or retail uses at the intersection of
two major thoroughfares, Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Holleman Drive West. In general, the
area is largely developed with multi -family uses and few non-residential uses so the
proposed request would provide additional commercial opportunities to serve this portion of
the City.
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
tract is currently zoned R-4 Multi -Family. The adjacent properties are already developed with
multi -family uses and this tract could develop in a similar fashion. The configuration, scale,
and location of the subject tract, however, make the development of multi -family uses less
suitable.
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 subject
tract was not included in the development of the adjacent multi -family and is less marketable
for multi -family uses due to its limited size.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is adjacent to an 8-inch
water main along Holleman Drive West that with platting will be required to be extended
along the western and southern property lines. There is also a 15-inch sanitary sewer line
available to serve this tract. Drainage is mainly to the west within the Bee Creek Drainage
Basin. All drainage and utilities infrastructure shall be designed in accordance with BCS
Unified Design Guidelines at the time of platting and site development. The tract is adjacent
to Harvey Mitchell Parkway, a Freeway on the Thoroughfare Plan, and Holleman Drive
West, a 4-Lane Major Collector. Right-of-way dedication will be required on Holleman Drive
West when the tract is platted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
