Home My WebLink AboutSTAFF REPORT STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka Date: October 28, 2003 Email: jprochazka @cstx.gov Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a rezoning for Montelongo's Jewelry, Lots17 & 18, Block D, College Heights Addition, consisting of 0.34 acres generally located at the northeast corner of University Drive and Nimitz Street, from PDD Planned Development District to C -3 Light Commercial. (03 -234) Applicant: Robert Payne, agent for Jesse Montelongo, Jr., property owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Item Summary: The owner is requesting rezoning in order to develop the property as a jewelry store. The current PDD zoning allows for specialty retail, including a jewelry store, but limits what the property owner may do architecturally. Prior to the adoption of the Unified Development Ordinance, PDD zonings included approval of building materials, colors and design. This property was included as the second phase of the Benjamin Knox Gallery in the original PDD zoning; however, Mr. Knox never purchased these two lots. The first phase of the PDD has since been modified not to include any architectural controls, but the original design limitations are still in place on the subject property. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan slates this property and all surrounding properties for Redevelopment. University Drive is designated as a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. Located to the east of the subject property is the Benjamin Knox Gallery, to the north is a single family home that is zoned A -P Administrative Professional and shown for Redevelopment on the Land Use Plan, to the west is Nimitz Street, and to the south is University Drive. Item Background: The College Heights area was platted many years ago as a residential subdivision. Over time, the Tots fronting on University Drive became commercial. The larger lots were zoned general commercial and smaller lots were rezoned to less intense commercial districts. The subject property was rezoned A -P many years ago to allow limited commercial and office uses, and again rezoned in 2000 to the current PDD that, at the time, was for the second phase of the Benjamin Knox Gallery.
