Item: Public hearing and consideration of rezoning Lots 2 and 3 of Block 4 of Pooh's Parks
Subdivision located along the north side of Holleman between Texas .Avenue and Lassie Lane from
WPC. -Wolf Pen Creek to C-1 General Commercial. [# 99-100 (Lot 2, Blk 4) and # 99-102 (Lot
3, Blk 4)]
Applicant: Eric Seitz c% Kimley: Horn & Assoc. for John Denison, property owner of Lot 2 and
for Garland Williams, property owner of Lot 3.
Item Summary.: In October of last year the Council rezoned the Lot 1, Blk 4, west and adjacent to
these two lots from WPC to C-1 General Commercial. At that time P&Z had recommended that
the City initiate rezoning of the. remainder of the individual lots along Holleman west of the future
extension of George Bush from WPC to commercial. This applicant came into request rezoning. of
two of the'remaining lots prior to any initiation taking place.
Item Background:. The.: following comments were taken from the staff report prepared for the
rezoning considered in October of last year:
One of the things staff analyzes in a rezoning case, along with the Comprehensive Plan, is
whether conditions have changed to justify a particular request, .especially if that request is
contrary. to the land use plan.. In .this case, the rezoning that took place two years ago (the
large Pooh's Park rezoning constitutes a significant change in the WPC boundary.. It
left several small lots along Holleman as well as some lots .along Texas Avenue, isolated
from the remainder of the district. This change could justify rezoning these lots out of the
WPC. district and to another commercial zoning classification.
Another change that has occurred in the area is the addition to the thoroughfare. plan of the
extension of George Bush Drive.'.. East to Holleman. This future street extension should
serve as a definitive boundary, a demarcation line, between the existing C-1 zoning west of
it and the remainder of the Wolf Pen Creek district to the east.
The P&Z held a hearing on 9-17-98 and recommended rezoning lot 1, block 4
from WPC to C-1 and recommended denial of rezoning lots 8, 9, & 10. The
.Commission felt that this motion should send a message to property owners in
the WPC corridor that the Commission will not look favorably on taking any
property east of the George Bush Drive extension out of the WPC zoning district.
The Commission also suggested that the City look at initiating rezoning the
remaining lots on Holleman that are west of the George Bush extension and the
lots on Texas #hat extend from Holleman north to the large Dale tract from WPC
to C-1 or some other commercial district.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval.
