For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 21, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: October 14, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of two platted lots, is located near the end of the block and zoned development reserve (DR) district. There is a concrete pad / driveway on the west lot and a vacant manufactured home on the east lot. Keilbar Lane contains undeveloped land, single family residences and manufactured homes on lots annexed into the City limits in the mid-1980s. There are single family residences and manufactured homes to the north and east (SF-3; DR), a detached condominium community to the south that takes access to Menchaca Road (MF-2-CO), and undeveloped lots on Keilbar Lane to the west (SF-6). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build a two- family residence at each address. 1 of 12B-5 C14-2021-0129 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. The requested SF-3 zoning would allow for four residences on the two lots. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the tract meets the intent of the SF-3 district as it fronts on a local residential street and is located within an existing residential neighborhood. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning changes should promote …
