Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance
amendment for a rezoning of approximately 5.005 acres located at 7103 Rock
Prairie Road for the Steamatic of Brazos Valley from A -O, Agricultural Open, to
C -1, General Commercial. (02 -98)
Item Summary: Steamatic of Brazos Valley is requesting this rezoning to
enable development of the property as an office / warehouse. The subject
property is presently used as a rural residence with a mobile home on the
property. The east and northeast portions of the property abut the City's ETI,
and the remainder of the surrounding land is zoned A -O, Agricultural Open and
is largely undeveloped with a few rural residences in the area.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows the majority
of the subject property as low density, single family residential (1/2 to 3 acres
per dwelling unit) and a small portion of the subject property as parkland. The
surrounding land is also shown on the Land Use Plan as low density, single
family residential, along with park and institutional. The proposed zoning is not
in compliance with the Land Use Plan.
Access to the site would be taken from Rock Prairie Road, which is shown on the
Thoroughfare Plan as a minor arterial. There are no streets planned through this
property on the Thoroughfare Plan. However, there is a bikeway planned
through the southwest corner of the property shown on the Thoroughfare Plan.
This property is located just outside of the Rock Prairie / Greens Prairie Small
Area Plan that was recently adopted by the City Council.
Commercial developments within the City are required to have adequate fire
protection. Currently there is no water or sewer infrastructure in place in the
file: //O: \GROUP \DEVE SER \CVSHT \2002 coversheets \July 11, 2002 \Ste ... \Coversheet.ht 6/25/2002

area. Without a connection to a City water line, fire protection will not be
possible. A City water line is scheduled to be completed within the next 12
months.
The City's development policies support commercial property to be located at
major intersections. This property is located along Rock Prairie Road and has a
private drive on one side of the property. There is no street planned along this
property that would create an intersection with Rock Prairie Road.
This rezoning request could also be considered a spot zoning because the
following factors exist:
. The area would be singled out and zoned differently from the surrounding
a rea,
. The benefit would be for the particular land owner and not the public
interest, and
. It would be an incompatible use that does not further the purpose of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Spot Zoning can have negative impacts on surrounding land uses and is illegal.
Item Background: When the subject property was annexed in 1983, the tract
was brought into the City under the A -O, Agricultural Open, zoning district.
Platting of this tract has not yet occurred.
Related Board Actions: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this
request on July 1, 2002. The Planning and Zoning Commission minutes reflect
the recommendation and were e- mailed to you prior to this meeting.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the rezoning due to the
lack of infrastructure and non - compliance with the Land Use Plan and the City's
development policies.
Council Action Options:
1. Approval of rezoning as submitted.
2. Approval of a less intense zoning classification (only if considered by the
Planning and Zoning Commission).
3. Denial.
4. Denial without prejudice (waives 180 -day waiting period).
