Prepared by: Molly Hitchcock Date: July 11, 2001
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a rezoning for the
2.497 -acre tract out of the Robert Stevenson Survey League A -54 located at
4121 State Highway 6 South. (01 -146)
Applicant: Veronica Morgan of Mitchell & Morgan
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting this rezoning in order to prepare the
property for future development. The landowner hopes to use the property for a
restaurant. A C -1 General Commercial zoning would allow uses ranging from
offices and hotels to retail stores and filling stations.
The subject property is located on the east bypass, south of the recently platted
Harley Subdivision. The (roughly) 350 -ft. by 300 -ft. tract is currently zoned A -P
Administrative Professional and C -3 Planned Commercial. It is surrounded by
undeveloped C -3 and land that has been in an A -O Agricultural Open holding
pattern since annexation.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows the area to
be Regional Retail. "Regional Retail' describes areas that permit regional -scale
development of tax - generating businesses such as retail centers, service
commercial, and restaurants. The C -1 zoning proposed is consistent with the
plan of regional retail. The Thoroughfare Plan designates State Highway 6 as a
Freeway and Expressway.
Item Background: This land was annexed into the city in 1983 and rezoned
from A -O to A -P and C -3 in 1984. It was part of the same parent tract as the
Harley Subdivision, but was not considered in the adopted Harley plat. The
Harley property was rezoned to C -1 in 1998. The property will need to
preliminary and final plat to develop.
Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body
on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council.
The Commission options are:
1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted;
2. Recommend approval with physical conditions that will mitigate negative
impacts;
3. Recommend a less intense zoning classification;
4. Recommend denial;
5. Table indefinitely; or,
6. Defer action to a specified date.
