Direction Comprehensive Zoning Land Use Plan North Estate A-O Agricultural Open Single-family residential South Estate A-O Agricultural Open Single-family residential East Estate A-O Agricultural Open Single-family residential West (across Wellborn Road) Rural N/A (ETJ) Single-family residential DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: June 1995 Zoning: A-O Agricultural Open Final Plat: This property is unplatted. Site development: The site is currently undeveloped. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The subject tract and properties immediately surrounding the area have been designated as Estate on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The applicant has stated that the Estate designation has made it difficult for the property to sell and develop. Other than market opportunities, there appears to be no change in conditions in the subject area that would invalidate the current land use and character designations for the area. 2. Scope of the request: This request is to introduce a commercial land use and character into an area that is otherwise suburban and single-family in character. The request would enable a land use that is more intense than surrounding land uses and enable traffic generation and other service demands in excess of current land uses.

Provide improved mobility though a safe, efficient, and well-connected multi -modal transportation system designed to be sensitive to the surrounding land uses: o The proposed General Commercial land use designation and the existing Estate land use designation generate different trip rates and so must be evaluated against the capacity of the current transportation network. Furthermore, though outside the Wellborn District Plan area, the strategy in the Plan was to limit the general commercial land use to correspond to the widening of Wellborn Road by TxDOT in the future to ensure roadway capacity. 5. Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans: The subject tract is designated as Estate on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Estate is intended for areas that are not likely to be the focus of extensive infill development. This area consists of larger -lot homes along Wellborn Road that were developed prior to annexation. The proposed General Commercial designation is intended for an intense level of development activity and consists of uses that are permitted in the General Commercial zoning district. The applicant states as a justification for the request that developments south of this property consist of commercial use and noise from the Wellborn Road and the railroad make this property unsuitable for residential development. The Comprehensive Plan identifies a considerable amount of Estate across Wellborn Road and the railroad to protect the existing large lot, rural single-family character. In this area, Wellborn Road will remain rural in context as per the Wellborn District Plan. Wellborn Road will also remain a four -lane Minor Arterial in functional classification. Norton Lane is a private roadway and access considerations will need to be discussed between the applicant and co -owners. 6. Compatibility with the surrounding area: As stated previously, the subject property is located in an area designated as Estate and currently developed as a large -lot single-family. With the proposed General Commercial development, an increased amount of traffic and infrastructure demands can be expected. The Unified Development Ordinance requires screening and buffering to General Commercial properties. 7. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: Water service to the tract may be provided by an existing 12-inch water main running along the east side of Wellborn Road and a 2-inch waterline along the south side of Norton Lane. Domestic and fire flow demands may necessitate future water Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 of 9 October 17. 2013 £LOZ'LLjag0100 610 8 96ed uoissiww00 6uiu0Z 8 6uiuueld -poogjogq6lau fliwel-albuis 6uilslxa ue of lueoefpe paleool si flJadad aql pue fliunlioddo oiwouooa salowoad pue seziu6009i lsenbai sigl .luawuainua leinleu peouequa pue paloalad a pue 'siopwoo loui}sip 'slop}sip leloads 'seaae leini paloalad 'spoogjogq6lau anbiun '6uoils gl!m fliunwwoo a aleaio of si jaloeje40 pue asfl pue-1 ajnlnd s,uoilelS 9691lo0 jol leo6 eql :sleo6 pue uolsln s,ueld ay; of paln;deo se Apunwwoo eq;;o aa;oejego pue uogaaJfp peJano ay; o; uof1nqu;uo0 01, eaje leinleu slgl loedwi few pue -ola `ol}}ejl 'uogelndod ui saseajoui of peal pinoo eaje sigl ui jaloejego ui 96ueg0 a 'JanaMoq `lol loafgns ayl uo uleldpoog se paipnls seaae fue uaaq lop aney aJagl :seaae feln;eu pue angfsuas Ajje;uawuoJfnua uo loedwl '6 uoileubisap jalmego pue asn puel palsanbai aql uo paseq kpadad loafgns ayl of saolnias 6uipun} jo 6uipinoid ui fllnoi lip fue aneq piM fli0 aql legl slslxa uolleoipui ON :saaimas uie;uiew pue `pun; `apinoid of Al!l!ge s,Al10 ay} uo }oedwl -8 -apew si uollein6guoo alewllln auel-inol sp of peo�i wogpaM uapiM of uoisioap agl plun luawdolanap lelojawwoo loplsai of papeau aq few suoilepwil j9i4pnl 'flioedeo aq of sweas ajayl g6nogl 'odn 999'96 flalewixadde to ,p„ (SOl) eowaS to lanai e gllM adn 000'OZ flalewlxadde to flloedeo a seq eaje sigl ui peon{ woglleM -ddn OOZ`£ 6 slenbe peon wogllaM uo sawnlon agl adn 009'0 L of adn OOL'Z 10 uogeJaua6 dui asn puel pasodoid aql 6ulppy 'adA 009'06 do awnlon a saleoipui I.
