Prepared by: Jessica Jimmerson Date: 8-23-01
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a request to rezone 2.497
acres out of the Robert Stevenson Survey League A-54 located at 4121 State Highway
6 South from C-3 Planned Commercial and A-P Administrative Professional to C-1
General Commercial. (01-181)
Applicant: Veronica Morgan of Mitchell & Morgan
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to C-1 or any
lesser commercial zoning district, including C-3, A-P, or C-B.
Item Summary: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a rezoning request for
this property on July 19, 2001 and recommended approval of C-1 zoning to Council.
Council denied the rezoning request for C-1 without prejudice at their August 9th
meeting. At that time, Council asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission report
back to them on the possibility of C-B zoning on this property. The Council also
requested that in the future the Commission consider not only the requested zoning, but
any lesser zoning districts as well.
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. C-1 zoning
would also 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 this 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 Planning staff is currently developing a small area plan for the area bounded by
Greens Prairie Rd., Rock Prairie Rd. and SH 6. This property is included in that area. It
is not anticipated that the Regional Retail shown on the Land Use Plan in this specific
location will change, however. The subject tract is located in an area that is separated
and buffered from the overall area by two creeks. During consideration of the present
Comprehensive Plan Council specifically directed that the land along the frontage road
between these two creeks should be reflected as Regional Retail. The C-1 zoning
proposed is consistent with the plan for Regional Retail.
The Thoroughfare plan in this area shows the future Barron Road extension south of
the subject property. An extension of Barron Road is planned from SH 6 to Rock Prairie

road. This will include a highway interchange. A major north - south collector is planned
east of the subject property, parallel to SH 6.
This property is located such that it should have little or no impact on the design or
construction of either an overpass at Barron Road or the north - south major collector.
The subject tract is located north of the future overpass. The MPO currently has the
Barron Road interchange listed as the 19th priority in this area. Please be aware that
the City is actively pursuing improving the priority level. In either case the design of the
overpass is some time in the future with actual construction even further away.
A future entrance ramp onto SH 6 will be developed in the vicinity of this tract. While
this will have some impact on access to the tract, it will not create the same impacts
and safety concerns as an exit ramp (as in the recent A&M Church of Christ CUP). If
the access drive to the subject property is in place before the development of the
interchange, then the placement of the ramps will be adjusted to the best possible
location. Development of this property should not adversely impact the future overpass
and the associated ramps.
Item Background: This land was annexed into the city in 1983 and rezoned from A-O
to C-3 and A-P 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 is north of the
subject property separated by a 2.5-acre tract, and was rezoned to C-1 in 1998.
The Commission approved the preliminary plat for the Harley Subdivision on July
19,2001. The final plat will be reviewed prior to development of the property.
Related Board Actions: See Item Summary
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 (C-3, A-P, C-B);
4. Recommend denial;
5. Table indefinitely; or,
6. Defer action to a specified date.

Item Summary: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a rezoning
request for this property on July 19, 2001 and recommended approval of C-1
zoning to Council. Council denied the rezoning request for C-1 without
prejudice at their August 9t" meeting. At that time, Council asked that the
Planning and Zoning Commission report back to them on the possibility of C-
B zoning on this property. The Council also requested that in the future the

The applicant, Veronica Morgan of Mitchell & Morgan, is requesting this
rezoning in order to prepare the property for future development. The
landowner hopes to use the property for a restaurant. C-1 zoning would also
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-0 Agricultural Open holding pattern since annexation.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this 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 Planning staff is currently developing a small area plan for the area
bounded by Greens Prairie Rd., Rock Prairie Rd. and SH 6. This property is
included in that area. It is not anticipated that the Regional Retail shown on
the Land Use Plan in this specific location will change, however. The subject
tract is located in an area that is separated and buffered from the overall
area by two creeks. During consideration of the present Comprehensive Plan
Council specifically directed that the land along the frontage road between
these two creeks should be reflected as Regional Retail. The C-1 zoning
proposed is consistent with the plan for Regional Retail.
The Thoroughfare plan in this area shows the future Barron Road extension
south of the subject property. An extension of Barron Road is planned from
SH 6 to Rock Prairie road. This will include a highway interchange. A major
north - south collector is planned east of the subject property, parallel to SH
6.
This property is located such that it should have little or no impact on the
design or construction of either an overpass at Barron Road or the north -
south major collector. The subject tract is located north of the future
overpass. The MPO currently has the Barron Road interchange listed as the
19th priority in this area. Please be aware that the City is actively pursuing
improving the priority level. In either case the design of the overpass is
some time in the future with actual construction even further away.
A future entrance ramp onto SH 6 will be developed in the vicinity of this
tract. While this will have some impact on access to the tract, it will not
create the same impacts and safety concerns as an exit ramp (as in the
recent A&M Church of Christ CUP). If the access drive to the subject
property is in place before the development of the interchange, then the
placement of the ramps will be adjusted to the best possible location.

Agenda Item #12.1
A future entrance ramp onto SH 6 will be developed in the vicinity of this tract. While this will have some impact on access
to the tract, it will not create the same impacts and safety concerns as an exit ramp (as in the recent A&M Church of Christ
CUP). If the access drive to the subject property is in place before the development of the interchange, then the placement
of the ramps will be adjusted to the best possible location. Development of this property should not adversely impact the

is north of the subject property separated by a 2.5-acre tract, and was rezoned to C-1 in 1998.
The Commission approved the preliminary plat for the Harley Subdivision on July 19,2001. The final plat will be reviewed
prior to development of the property.
Related Board Recommendations/Actions: The Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to hear this case on
September 6th, 2001. Meeting minutes will be forwarded when they are available.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested C-1 Zoning District as it is consistent with the Land
Use Plan. Council may find that a less intense zoning district is appropriate for this property under current conditions.
Other zoning districts that would be consistent with the Land Use Plan are C-3, A-P, and C-B.
Council Action Options:
1. Approval of rezoning as submitted.
2. Approval with physical conditions that will mitigate negative impacts.
