The subject tract was annexed into the City in 1995 and was placed in the an interim A-O zoning classification. . At that time, a house and a restaurant existed on the property. The house is a permitted use in the A-O zoning district. The restaurant was permitted to continue operation under the existing land use intensity due. to . its legal non-conforming status. The commercial use was destroyed when a portion of the property was taken to widen FM 60. Due to the fact that the building was not intentionally abandoned by the property owner, the property retains legal non-conforming status for2590 square feet of structures devoted to a non-conforming use.
