FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF: November 12,1992
EXECUTIVE TEAM MEMBER APPROVAL:
ITEM: Public Hearing to consider an ordinance> rezoning ..5 7 acres from A - P Administrative
ProfessionaltoC-B B.usiness Commercial. Property is located .on the northwest. corner. of
Spring Loop and University Drive ((Lot 12, BlockT,University . Park}. Applicant is Craig Browne
fOf.Gene Joyce. Owner isTACRealty.
ITEM...SUMMARY:.Thistracthasbeenan extremely..difficult one. to deal with for the . Planning
and ZoningCommissional1dtheCity Council. The small size does not lend itself to abroad
range of commerciaL uses. It was originally platted as two lotsforfourplexdevelopment.
Subsequently ..it was.. replattedinto ....one . lot andzonedC.;.N. for.. neighborhood convenience.. uses.
It has remain~dvacantandtheCityinitiatedrezoningtoA-Pearlier this year as recommended
in the University Drive..Report.
AlthoughC-Bzoningwouldnot be > detrimental at this comer (tract size should preclude any
really intense use) the A-Plspreferable in light of the Future Land Use Plan and the Council's
previous actions on rezonings along University Drive. Council's comment duringtheANCO
request ((RecalltheANCOrezoning (ItistheA-P tract to the west. The owner requested C-B
zoning which was denied by Council.) Council's comment was that a mix of uses is intendedfor
the corridor and that . the blockofA-Pshould be preserved to.guarantee this.))
The Council should always take into account the range of uses when considering a zone
change. In this case , the applicant has a retail use (Audio Video ) for the property which would
be almost ideal considering the pro blems associated with the tract. The . zoning classification
necessary to accommodate this use is one of our commercial districts {either C-I,C-B, C-3 or
C-N J.TheOverlay District has requirements to deal with some of the more aesthetic issues.
Knowing these things , the likelihood of an undesirable commercial use on this tra.ct is small.
However~ the existingA-P still seems to be the preferable district in . light of all considerations;
tract size, permitted uses, compatibility with existing zoning and uses, compliance.withthe
Land Use Plan and University Drive recommendations and previous. Council actions.
Council must decide whether rezoning toC-B on this small a tract jeopardizes the intent of
maintaining the blockofA-Pandthe intent of the land use . plan. Does rezoning this .57 acre
tract toC-B negatively impact Council's policy as reflected in its . previous rezoning decisions
along this corridor and what impact would it have for the Wheeler property across University
Drive?
FINANCIALRECOMMENDATIONS: NA
CITY ATTORNEY RECOMMENDATIONS: NA
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends to retain theA-P. P&Z recommended
approval with comment that there are some A-P uses that would seem undesirable at this
location.
