Item: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning for 1111 Rock Prairie Road,
located on the Northwest corner of Rock Prairie Road and Rio Grande, from C-N
Neighborhood Commercial to PDD-B Planned Development District -Business. (00-90)
Applicant: Steve Meier, AIA
Item Summary: The applicant in this case proposes to develop the site into three
medical and other professional office buildings at 5,000 square feet each. The eixsting C-
Nzoning would permit these uses, but it would limit the size of each business to 2000
square feet. This size restriction does not accommodate the applicant's needs. Due to the
fact that the property adjoins developed single family residential, Staff recommended that
the applicant submit aPDD-B request so that the conceptual plan and uses would be tied
to the rezoning. The concept plan shows the three single story buildings oriented away
from the residential area with a minimum rear setback of 30'. The applicant proposes a
2' planted strip adjacent to an 8' screening fence to buffer the single family from the
office uses. Access will be solely from Rock Prairie Road with an internal access
easement on the western end of the site.
Item Background: The subject property was reflected as a commercial tract in the
original approved Master Development Plan (originally called Southwood Valley Section
26) in 1986. Later that year, the property was rezoned to C-N -the surrounding currently
zoned R-4 property remained A-O as a reserve tract at that time. Since that time,
Capistrano Court was platted as a single family residential phase of Southwood Forest in
1995.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning with any
conditions that the PnZ or Council may find reasonable to mitigate any potential negative
impacts.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: NA
Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the
question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The
Commission options are:
1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted;
2. Recommend approval with physical conditions that will mitigate negative impacts;
3. Recommend a less intense zoning classification;
4. Recommend denial;
5. Table indefinitely; or,
