Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning request for
4300 and 4304 Harvey Road, consisting of a portion of Lot 1 and all of Lot 2,
Block 1 of Harvey Hillsides from A -O Agricultural Open to C -1 General
Commercial.
Applicant: Floyd & Jo Manning, Property Owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary: The subject property consists of 2.713 acres that are zoned A -O
Agriculture Open. Currently, the 1.13 -acre tract is developed as a restaurant.
The 1.583 -acre tract has two Single Family homes located on it. The subject
property is surrounded by the Bethel Baptist Church to the east and a single
family home and undeveloped land in the ETJ to the west. To the south across
Nunn Jones Road is ETJ property with a single family dwelling and to the north
across Harvey Road is an Exxon convenience store with a dry cleaners.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property has approximately
205 feet of frontage along Harvey Road, which is considered a Major Arterial and
approximately 268 feet of frontage along Nunn Jones Road which is considered
a Rural Residential Street.
The 30/60 Area Plan shows this area for a mix of uses with the expectation that
commercial rezoning requests would be made. The Plan states that new
commercial uses should be lower intensity and that rezonings should emphasize
an eventual consolidation of properties.
More recently the Mixed -Use category was removed from the Land Use Plan,
and in this area, replaced with the Planned Development designation. The
Planned Development category emphasizes the need to ensure appropriate
placement, compatibility, and efficient function of different uses. This approach
provides maximum flexibility for the market and developer while ensuring a
compatible pattern of uses. Staff believes this proposal is in line with the 30/60
plan and the Planned Development Land Use category.
At the April 17th Planning and Zoning Workshop, staff requested the
Commission's input on the possibility of rezoning the subject property to C -1
General Commercial. The Commission generally supported a restaurant use at
this location, but did not provide specific guidance for rezoning. Since that time

the applicant has decided to move forward with the proposed, C -1 General
Commercial zone change.
Item Background: The subject property is currently platted and was annexed
September of 1980, since the restaurant existed prior to annexation it is now
considered grandfathered.
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 a less intense zoning classification;
3. Recommend denial;
4. Table indefinitely; or,
5. Defer action to a specified date.

2. Application

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: Public water for fire protection exists to the north and south of the
subject property. A new looped connection at Copperfield Parkway
should boost fire flow capabilities along Harvey Road.
Sewer: The sewer along Harvey Road in this area is near capacity.
Central Baptist Church connected to this line through an Inter -local
Agreement with Bryan. The additional flow due to the increased size of
C &J's should not be problematic.
Streets: Harvey Road (SH 30) is a major arterial.
Off -site Easements: None needed, at this time.
Drainage: Drainage is to Harvey Road.
Flood Plain: None
Oversize request: None
Impact Fees: None
