Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a rezoning for
Nantucket Phase 7, consisting of 4.794 acres located south of Nantucket Drive
between State Highway 6 and Harper's Ferry Road from A -O Agricultural Open
to R -1 Single Family Residential.
Applicant: Phyllis Hobson, Nantucket, Ltd, property owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting rezoning in order to develop the
property as single family lots.
The property is surrounded by developed Nantucket (in the ETJ) to the south,
Fairhaven Cove, zoned R -1 and developed as single - family housing, to the
southwest, and undeveloped property zoned A -O, but shown on the Land Use
Plan as Single - Family Medium Density, to the north and east.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The request is in compliance with the
Land Use Plan, which designates this property as Single Family Residential
Medium Density. Nantucket Drive is shown as a minor collector on the
Thoroughfare Plan.
Item Background: The property was annexed in 2002 and was zoned A -O
Agricultural -Open at that time. This property is in the process of platting. The
property to the east, Fairhaven Cove, was recently rezoned to R -1 and is also in
the process of platting.
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.
