Existing Zoning R1: Single- Family Residential Proposed Zoning O: Office Present Use of Property Vacant Proposed Use of Property Business Office Building REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1- List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. The property has frontage on a major thoroughfare that makes it attractive to commercial type developments, as seen adjacent to this lot as well as those across the freeway. In addition, TxDOT has initiated a major project to change the type of exit/entrance ramps along Earl Rudder and construction on this section of the freeway is set to begin. With the inverted ramps, traffic will be able to exit the freeway sooner and travel along the frontage road providing greater access to commercial developments located there. 2. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. Yes, the requested zoning is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood? Traditional development along a major arterial such as Earl Rudder Freeway will not comply with the current residential zoning. The adjacent cross street (University Oaks) has an Urban thoroughfare classification as well. The property is a remnant of the nearby subdivision that was left over after all residential lots were established and has never been developed as residential due to the frontage on these two roadways. The proposed office zoning classification will allow the property to develop commercially while still being compatible with nearby residential characteristics. 10/10 Page 2 of 3 4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. Commercial type development is traditionally along major thoroughfares and arterials such as Earl Rudder Freeway. Having an urban classified cross street in University Oaks adds to the marketability of the property for commercial type developments. In addition, the existing heavily wooded undergrowth along with well- established oaks trees will allow the required buffer zones to be left uncleared and provide a natural delineation between the proposed development and the existing residential structures along the shared rear lot lines. This natural buffer will allow for commercial activities while preserving nearby residential character. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. The undesirable frontage on a major thoroughfare has and will continue to suppress residential development on this property. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. There is no market for the property as it is currently zoned. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true, correct, and complete. IF THIS APPLICATION IS FILED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, this application must be accompanied by a power of attorney statement from the owner. If there is more than one owner, all owners must sign the application or the power of attorney. If the owner is a company, the application must be accompanied by proof of authority for the company's representative to sign the application on its behalf.
