DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Annexation: 1980
Zoning: A-O to C-2 in 1980
Final Plat: 1982, Ponderosa Place Section Two, part of Tract E, 3.30 Acres
Site development: Vacant
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is vacant and is
designated as Retail Regional under the Land Use Plan. The proposed rezoning is
consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed zoning is compatible with
existing zoning as commercial uses are compatible with other commercial uses. The
surrounding properties include an adjacent retail center to the south. To the north and
east of the property is the State Highway 6 frontage road. To the west of the subject
property is vacant land zoned for commercial use. Two hotels are located further
northwest along the State Highway 6 frontage road.

3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The subject
property is suitable for the proposed zoning district due in part to its access to State
Highway 6 West Frontage Road, which is classified as a Freeway/Expressway on the
City's Thoroughfare Plan. In addition, the district would be adjacent to existing C-2
commercial districts. General commercial uses are more dependent upon visibility and
access to the general public than industrial commercial uses that cater to a more limited
clientele.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
subject property's current zoning district limits the potential for development. C-2,
Commercial-Industrial allows for outlets offering goods and services to a limited segment
of the general public.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
owner is seeking to enhance the marketability of the property through the proposed zone
change. The applicant intends to market the property as a hotel.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing water and
sanitary sewer mains available to serve this property. Drainage is mainly to the north
within the Bee Creek Tributary "A" basin. All utilities shall be designed in accordance
with BCS Unified design Guidelines at the time of Platting and Site Development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
