RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
* Staff recommends denial of the proposed rezoning request due to lack of conformance with the City of McKinney's Comprehensive Plan and City Council's goal of preserving and developing the non-residential tax base.
However, should the rezoning request be approved, the subject property shall develop in accordance with Section 146-106 ("SF5" - Single Family Residential District) of the zoning ordinance, and as amended.
Professionally speaking, Staff has no objections to the proposed rezoning request as development of the entire property for non-residential uses may be challenging due to its limited access, the property's mid-block location and the adjacent residential land uses to the north and future residential uses to the south, which make the property more conducive to residential uses.
ITEM SUMMARY:
* The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 17.65 acres of land from "O" - Office District to "SF5" - Single Family Residential District, generally for single family detached residential uses.
* On November 8, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request, however due to a noticing error this item is being reconsidered at the December 13, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Staff has re-noticed this item accordingly.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
