P&Z Minutes March 21, 2002 Page 2 of 7 Jesse Watson, 1501 Langford, asked the Commission to consider reducing the buffer width from 15 feet to 6 feet since there is a substantial size berm also separating the church from the residential alley.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning for 29.65 acres located at 4401 State Highway 6 South from A-O Agricultural-Open, to C-1 General Commercial. (02-35) Staff Planner Hitchcock stated that Staff recommends approval of the rezoning and that the subject land is largely undeveloped. She explained that The Land Use plan designates the land as residential but the plan is currently being updated to reflect recent changes in the area. She pointed out that the draft plan recommends that commercial zoning is appropriate for the land and would provide more locations for retail uses while buffering abutting uses through greenway and transportation corridors. Additionally, C-1 will allow more flexibility with the development of the land and with this zoning it will be possible to develop the retail regional uses that the Small Area Plan draft recommends. Chairman Floyd asked Ms. Hitchcock to explain the public process involved in the Small Area Plan. Ms. Hitchcock explained that several public meetings have been held regarding this plan and there have also been invitations from the landowners. Commissioner Kaiser asked what criteria led Staff to change the use of the land from residential to commercial. Ms. Hitchcock explained that the interest by the City to create a new business park and the selling of that land created some new conditions that were not foreseen in 1997 when The Comprehensive Plan came into play. This has changed some of the possible uses in the area. She added that The Small Area Plan was created to update the plan for this area. Chairman Floyd clarified the boundaries of the Small Area Plan as being Rock Prairie, Greens Prairie, and State Highway 6. He pointed out that this plan also changes other areas from residential to commercial, while keeping a balance of the uses for the area. Chairman Floyd opened the public hearing. Jim West, 4420 FM1960 #115, Houston, Texas, spoke in favor of the rezoning. Chairman Floyd closed the public hearing. Commissioner Trapani motioned to approve. Commissioner McMath seconded the approval. The motion carried 6-0.
