For_ MINUTES, Planning and Zoning Commission February 17, 1975 Page 3 Mr. Jett stated that all of the owners of the property in the area were in agreement to provide access to this particular tract. IP Chairman Longley opened the public hearing. Mr. David Mayo, owner of the adjacent property on which Brazos Concrete Services plant is located, expressed his concern that the proposed adjacent land use would not be compatible with the existing Heavy Industrial use on his property. He pointed out the possibility of future complaints by the tenants of this proposed project concerning noise and dust. Commissioners Chaney and Boyett pointed out that some industrial zoning was necessary within the city and that the Mayo tract was already in use for heavy industrial purposes and that the owners of the plant had substantial investment in the property. Commissioner Wallace pointed out that future tenants should be aware of the fact of the existing adjacent use and should have no grounds for complaints. Mr. Jett stated that he and his architect had considered the adjacent use and had concluded that the site could be developed in such a fashion as to shield against noise and dust. Commissioner Stevenson moved that the Commission recommend approval of the zone change to the City Council. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wallace and approved unanimously with Commissioner Boyett abstaining for the reason that no access had been provided to public right-of-way. 4110 Agenda Item No. 6 -- A public hearing on the question of rezoning a 0.834 acre tract located northeast of the abandoned I & GN RR right-of-way between FM 2347 and Luther Street west from Heavy Industrial District, District M-2 to Apartment Building District, District R-3.
