Regular Agenda Item # 14.1
Visoski Rezoning
To: Tom Brymer, City Manager
From: Joey Dunn, Director of Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an Ordinance
Rezoning for 104 University Drive East "Former Sonic Building" from C -2 Commercial
Industrial to C -1 General Commercial, consisting of portions of lots 2 and 17 of the Visoski
Subdivision on 0.046 acre tract, generally located at University Drive and Texas Avenue.
Recommendation (s): Staff's recommendation is for approval. The Planning and Zoning
Commission unanimously recommended approval of the zone change from C -2 to C -1 at the
October 28th. Planning and Zoning meeting.
Summary: The applicant is requesting rezoning for possible redevelopment of the former
Sonic restaurant site. A small portion on the southwest side of the subject property is
currently zoned C -2 Commercial Industrial. The Sonic business was developed on portions
of Lots 2, 3, 4, 15, 16 and 17. This rezoning would bring the entire site into a C -1, General
Commercial zone.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area as
Redevelopment. The property is located on University Drive, just east of Texas Avenue. The
surrounding properties currently have predominantly general commercial uses. The property
owner has tried consolidation of the properties in this area but has been unsuccessful. With
the subject property being shown as redevelopment, a commercial use is appropriate for
this site, therefore staff supports the rezoning request.
This property is bound by University Drive to the north, which is classified as a major
arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. To the east the property is bound by the abandoned Egg
Roll House restaurant that is zoned C -1 General Commercial. To the west the property is
bound by the existing Pizza Hut which is zoned C -2 Commercial Industrial. To the south the
property is bound by Poplar Street which is classified as a local residential street. Across
Poplar Street the properties are single family homes and the former Adult Video Store, and
are zoned as C -2 and C -1.
