STAFF REPORT
Item: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning. approximately 2.29 acres located along the
south side of F.M. 2818 at the future Dartmouth extension from R-1 Single Family Residential to
R&D Research and Development. (98-114)
Item Summary: The subject property as well as all adjoining properties are reflected as mixed
use on the Land Use Plan. The classification is used in areas where a variety of land uses cmuld
potentially be developed, if the sites are designed with- proper height, area, setback, building
materials, building orientation, buffer`zones, and other performance-related site controls.
The actual land uses represented on the plan, whether they are residential, commercial, or light
industrial, depend on the existing and future land uses of the surrounding area,. and on the extent of
the site controls as listed above. The zoning districts. that the. city staff would generally support for
an area or tract designated as "mixed use" are the 4 new planned developments' -PDD-H
(residential), PDD-B (business), PDD-I (industrial), and PDD-M (mixed). The land use
classification as well as the corresponding zoning districts are meant to be very flexible so that the
city, developer, and area property owners are in a position to negotiate the eventual site uses 'and
layout.
As for the specific case before the Commission, the 2818 area that is shown as mixed use on the
land use plan, Staff will be supporting office, technology, and other. light commercial and clean
industrial uses. The recommendation is based on the 2818 Extension Study, which was approved
by Council in 1992. The land uses that were recommended for the extension .area included
office/service. The R&D classification is in compliance with the adopted goal. for this area.
