STAFF COMMENTS / RECOMMENDATIONS
The property as currently zoned (A-P) is designed to accommodate selected commercial
businesses which provide a service rather than sell products. The uses allowed have relatively low
traffic generation. The proposed WPC zone was designed to encourage development in the
largely open and undeveloped area adjacent to the Wolf Pen Creek. Uses consist of offices as
well as retail sales, restaurants, hotels and night clubs. The traffic generation could be higher than
what could be developed presently. This should not pose any problem as the property is bound by
three streets with 60 feet of right-of-way and by Southwest Parkway.
The land use plan shows high density residential uses on this property. The existing A-P zone
does not specifically comply with this. The WPC district, because it allows retail uses does not
specifically comply with this either. However, it does not conflict with existing zoning districts
and land uses in the area. The WPC zone will provide the added level of review relative to
architecture and overall design.
The applicant has indicated that the intent is to develop a multi-family project that will extend
from this property across Colgate into the existing Wolf Pen Creek district.
Staff sees no problems with the request and would recommend approval.
