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
nmanriart7
The element we are seeking to amend is the Land Use and Character Designation on the property east of the CS
Electrical Substation on FM2818 near the Rio Grande intersection.

The amendment request is to modify the Land Use from SC - Suburban Commercial, U - Urban and NAR - Natural
Areas Reserved to U - Urban and NAR - Natural Areas Reserved.
Fxnlain the reason for this amendment.
This property is located at the dead end of the FM2818 northern frontage road. Given its location, the tract is much
better suited to develop as a single townhouse development rather than a strip of commercial and townhomes hidden
behind it.
4. Identifv the conditions that have changed to warrant this change to the existing Comprehensive Plan.
With regard to the NAR area - the floodplain limits have changed along this section of Bee Creek. We intend to retain
NAR along the floodplain and a 20ft buffer beyond the new floodplain limits. This is reflected on this Land Use Plan
Amendment map. With regard to the SC - Suburban Commercial to U - Urban, the limited access to FM2818 poses
difficulties to the marketability and long term viability of commercial property at this location. Residential uses are
adaptable and more suited to deal with limited access and driveway access issues. The ability to market this location as
commercial is very difficult.
5. Explain why the existing element of the Comprehensive Plan in question is no longer appropriate.
The existing Land Use of SC- Suburban Commercial along the FM2818 northern frontage road will be challenging
because of its location and limited access to FM2818. Forcing the continuation of strip commercial along a dead end
frontage road is not the most appropriate land use for this property. A residential land use can adapt much better to
these access limitations.
The existing Land Use of NAR - Natural Area Reserved developed during the Comprehensive Plan adoption used a
different floodplain boundary than exists today on the property. The floodplain boundary has been reduced significantly.
F Hnw rines the reauested amendment further the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan?
The goal of the Comprehensive Plan future land use and character is to "be a community with strong, unique
neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors and a protected and enhanced natural
environment. With this amendment we are:
- protecting the floodplain and a 20ft buffer area along the creek
- allowing for the addition to the property tax base
- creating a sustainable development appropriate along the limited access provided by the FM2818 frontage road
