RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request, with the following special ordinance provision:
1. The subject property develop in accordance with the “C” - Planned Center District regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 2.26 acres of land, located on the southwest corner of North Brook Drive and U.S. Highway 75 (Central Expressway), from “PD” - Planned Development District to “C” - Planned Center District.
• Per the requirements of the governing planned development ordinance, the subject property must generally conform to a specific layout attached as an exhibit. The purpose of this rezoning request is to eliminate the attached exhibit in order for the applicant to develop the site. If approved, the entire site will develop under the “C” - Planned Center District regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The applicant has also submitted an associated site plan (11-053SP) for an automobile sales facility (Brandon Tomes Subaru), which is currently in review by Staff. Should the proposed rezoning request not be approved, the associated site plan cannot be approved.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The property is currently zoned “PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 2006-03-032 which stipulates a base zoning district of “C” - Planned Center District. The property has been rezoned a total of three times. The governing PD ordinance and the previous ordinance (“PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 2003-09-83) each have an attached exhibit, but maintained the base zoning district of “C” - Planned Center District. “C” - Planned Center District has been the base zoning for the property since it was first zoned in 1983 (“PD” - Planned Development Ordinance No. 1400).
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• N/A
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
