redevelopment or growth area, it is a portion of a tract already zoned General Commercial
that has frontage on Texas Avenue, a six-lane major arterial. Also, the property is within the
Municipal Center planning district that calls for opportunities for residential and commercial
activities in addition to municipal facilities.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: Typically General Commercial uses are
discouraged against single-family type uses such as a manufactured home park. General
Commercial is consistent with adjacent zoning and existing uses along Texas Avenue. The
proposed development of the property as General Commercial would also be compatible
with the municipal uses along Krenek Tap.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The General
Commercial zoning would allow a continued commercial presence along Texas Avenue
SouthHowdy20!4
and allow services to be more accessible to the surrounding area.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The current
GS General Suburban designation on this property would allow the continued use as a
single-family home. This however, is not suitable for the property due to the intention of the
Municipal Center District Planning Corridor calling for a municipal center and supporting
commercial and residential uses that would be urban in character.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
property is claimed under ownership with the adjacent larger tract that is already designated
as GC General Commercial. The current land use would limit the property owner's ability to
fully develop the property.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 12"water and 12"
wastewater line available to serve the property. Existing infrastructure with proposed
modifications appear to be adequate for the proposed use. Drainage and any other
infrastructure required with the site development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The Thoroughfare Plan identifies
Krenek Tap Road as an existing 2-lane Minor Collector. The amount of traffic produced by
this development is minimal and should not have a detrimental impact on surrounding
roadways.

Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.

Good Evening
Mark Bombek, Staff Planner
This evening's request is to rezone approximately.75 acres of land generally located at the northeast
corner of Texas Avenue South and Krenek Tap Road.
The request is to rezone the property from GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial. As can be
seen on your screen there is some hatch work over the area indicating the Krenek Tap Overlay.This
overlay was created in 2004 and was later identified as the Municipal Center planning district through
the Comprehensive Plan update in 2009.The overlay calls for opportunities to further develop
commercial and residential uses in addition to the municipal facilities planned for the area.
The subject property is designated as Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character
Map, which is intended for more intense levels of development focused on residential uses. General
Commercial and Office uses, Business Parks, and Vertical Mixed Use are also uses envisioned for
redevelopment and growth areas.While this is not a redevelopment area, the request for General
Commercial is consistent with the future land use designation being that this property is a portion of a
larger tract that is already zoned General Commercial that has frontage along Texas Avenue-a six-lane
major arterial.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning request at
their April 16th meeting.Since the meeting there have also been three inquiry calls regarding the
request.
I am available for questions if there are any and the applicant is as well.

Good evening, Mark Bombek, Staff Planner.
