Project Manager: Molly Hitchcock Date: May 20, 2004
Email: mhitchcock @cstx.gov
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a rezoning from A -O, Agricultural
Open to PDD, Planned Development District (9.698 acres) and C -1, General Commercial
(3.838 acres) for Spring Creek CS Development, generally located 1/2 mile north of
Greens Prairie Road, adjacent to land in the Castlegate Master Development Plan.
Applicant: Wallace Phillips for Spring Creek CS Development, Inc.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting C -1 zoning for commercial development
along SH 6. The proposed C -1 is adjacent to approximately 40 acres of C -1 on the
Crowley tract. It will be separated from the residential to the west by an existing drainage
channel that will retain A -O zoning.
The PDD request is for land adjacent to the developing PDD Spring Creek Townhomes.
The meritorious modifications requested will be consistent with those previously accepted
for the Spring Creek Townhomes PDD. The parcel immediately to the north is zoned A -O
and is generally used for agricultural - related purposes.
Requested PDD Uses: Single family residential, open space, and land use buffers.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan currently shows the entire
parcel as Single Family Residential Medium Density. The residential PDD request is in
compliance with the Land Use Plan. The C -1 rezoning request will only be in compliance
if the Commission and City Council amend the Land Use Plan to show Retail Regional in
this area. The rezoning proposals are consistent with what exists on the approved
Castlegate Master Development Plan.
The proposed PDD property abuts Decatur (a major collector) and the proposed
commercial property abuts the SH6 access road (freeway). The zonings will be separated
by 0.488 acre of A -O.
Item Background: This property was annexed in 1983 as A -O. It has never been
rezoned or platted. The general area has become more developed as Castlegate and
Shenandoah continue to grow, Decatur Drive has been extended south to Alexandria
Avenue, and a church builds its new facilities.
