ANSWER ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
What specific element of the Comprehensive Plan (for example, Land Use and Character designation, Thoroughfare
Plan Context Class, or thoroughfare alignment) and at what specific location (if applicable) is requested to be
amended?
We request an amendment to the Land Use and Character designation for the subject property.
2. What is the amendment request?
We request the current Land Use and Character designation of "Institutional/Public" be amended to "General
Commercial".
3. Explain the reason for this amendment.
For nearly 3 decades, the subject tract has been operated as a medical facility by Scott & White Memorial Hospital
( "SW"). Due to the longevity of SW s operation, the Comp Plan designation for the tract has remained unchanged.
Now, with the opening of the new SW Hospital and the relocation of SW personnel to the Medical Corridor, the Comp
Plan designation should be addressed. SW wishes to amend the current designation in order to better align with the
Comp Plan and promote responsible reinvestment and redevelopment of the site.
4. Identify the conditions that have changed to warrant this change to the existing Comprehensive Plan.
The existing Land Use and Character designation of "Institutional /Public" Is no longer appropriate because of the
relocation and expansion of the core Scott & White operations to the City's Medical Corridor. Due to the location of the
tract and its adjacency to University Drive and State Highway 6, it should be expected that the property wit/ be utilized
for uses that fall outside those allowed In the limited "Institutional /Public" designation.
5. Explain why the existing element of the Comprehensive Plan in question is no longer appropriate.
The subject tract has been designated as "Institutional /Public" only because of the historical ownership and use of the
property, not because the designation actually aligns with the Comprehensive Plan's goal and objectives. The
"Institutional / Public" designation is extremely limited In the number and breadth of uses. Essentially, only
governmental, civic and medical uses are allowed. The current designation severely restricts the number and variety of
opportunities for redevelopment. This limitation Inherently conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan's goals for
redevelopment and reinvestment along this primary image corridor.
6. How does the requested amendment further the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan?
The requested amendment is the first step in reasonably and responsibly positioning the subject property for
redevelopment and reinvestment With the amendment, there Is a high likelihood that the property will redevelop and
emerge as a site that creates regional opportunities for tourism, retail and /or other commerce. The tract, once properly
positioned, could create a real opportunity for economic development and a sizeable expansion of the City's tax base.
