STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Molly Hitchcock Date: December 11, 2003
Email: mhitchcock @cstx.gov
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a rezoning from C -3
Light Commercial to PDD Planned Development District for the Space Control
Limited located at 3820 and 3910 Harvey Road.
Applicant: J.D.P. Holding Inc.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning with the
following proposed land uses:
• Mini - storage warehouses
• Offices and
• Personal service shops.
Item Summary: This rezoning is for two lots on approximately 2.8 acres
bounded by C -3 to the west and east (developed as office and housing), the
Harvey Hillsides ETJ neighborhood to the south, and State HWY 30 /Harvey
Road to the north. The applicant began the development of a mini - storage
warehouse facility at 3820 Harvey under the Zoning Ordinance, which allowed
the use in C -3; but the use is no longer permitted under the UDO. The
development at 3820 Harvey is grandfathered, but the applicant would like to
expand their business into the neighboring property at 3910 Harvey. The
rezoning will bring the developing use into compliance with the UDO and allow
for the expansion of the business.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The proposal is in compliance with the
Land Use Plan, which shows the property to be Planned Development. The
30/60 Study recommends that properties in the area be consolidated and used
for light commercial, office /service, and higher density single family. The PDD
rezoning may secure the recommended land uses for the area and allow the
DRB to review the benefits of property consolidation.
State HWY 30 is a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan.
Requested PDD Uses: Mini - storage warehouses, art studio /gallery, educational
facility (indoor instruction), offices, personal service shop, retail sales and
services, restaurants (subject to p* conditions).
Item Background: 3820 Harvey is platted and currently under construction. For
further development of 3910 Harvey, it will have to be platted.
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 approval of rezoning with less intense land uses;
3. Recommend denial;
4. Table indefinitely; or,
5. Defer action to a specified date.
