Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning from A-O Agricultural Open to R-1 Single Family Residential and A-P Administrative Professional for the Neeley Subdivision located along the south side of Graham Road east of Cypress Grove Intermediate School. (03-07) Development Review Manager Ruiz presented the Staff Report. Ms. Ruiz stated that Staff recommends approval of the R-1 zoning but does not support the A-P zoning because of non-compliance to the City's Comprehensive Plan. She recommended that the entire tract be rezoned as R-1. The applicant, Tony Jones, presented the Commission with a proposal regarding buffering, parking, landscaping and ingress/egress to the site. Kelly Templin, Director of Development Services stated that Staff defers to the Comprehensive Plan when making planning decisions. He added that the proposed 7.187-acre tract to be rezoned to A-P does not comply with the Land Use Plan and would result in a strip commercial pattern along Graham Road.
