Commissioner Mooney moved to approve the preliminary plat with the condition that the sewer service

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Public hearing and consideration of a Rezoning request for the
proposed Gateway Subdivision from C-B Business Commercial to R-5 Apartment Medium
Density. (99-128)
Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report. She explained that the subject property is a
triangulaz piece of land requested to be rezoned so that the existing R-5 will align with a proposed
ownership boundary. The proposed Gateway subdivision consists of a future mix of C-B and R-5
development, which is consistent with the Land Use Plan and with the zoning decisions that took place
azound five years ago. The Commission has reviewed preliminary plats on the entire Gateway area as
well as final plats for smaller portions. Staff recommended approval.
Chairman Rife opened the public hearing. Seeing no one present to speak in opposition to or in favor
of the request, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Horlen moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request. Commissioner Floyd
seconded the motion, which passed unopposed 6-0.
Chairman Rife removed himself from the position of chairman and asked Commissioner Mooney to
take over the responsibilities for the next agenda item.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Public hearing and consideration of a Conditional Use Permit, use for
the development of a new parking lot for the Justice-of--the-Peace Office No. 6, located on the
southwest corner of the intersection of George Bush and Anderson Drives. (99-729)
Transportation Planner Hard presented the staff report and explained that the applicant is requesting
permission to construct a new pazking lot for the JP #6 facility. The existing pazking to this facility is
limited to "head-in" pazking spaces directly off of George Bush and Anderson Drive. The City as part
of its on-going widening of this roadway removed the spaces on Anderson. Pending approval of this
Conditional Use Permit, the City and the CSISD will consider an agreement whereby the City's
contractor will construct the proposed pazking lot as part of the Anderson widening project. The
existing head-in parking spaces, which do not meet ordinance requirements, will be removed as part of
the new parking lot construction. Access to the new parking lot will be taken from a single access
point off of Anderson Drive. The site will not have a curb cut to Bush Drive. Under the driveway
ordinance, the proposed curb cut on Anderson should have been about 20 feet further from Bush Drive.
This curb cut could not be moved to meet the minimum ordinance requirement due to a new detention
pond being developed immediately south of the site. The existing JP office building requires 11
parking spaces, but the current parking does not meet this requirement. The proposed parking lot
includes 35 spaces to allow for future expansion of the JP office building. The expansion of the
building is not included as part of this request. The site is just a very small portion of a large pazcel
bounded by Bush, Holik, Anderson, and Park Place owned by the CSISD. This lazge pazcel is zoned
R-1 and is the future site of A&M Consolidated Middle School (formerly Willow Branch
Intermediate).
