AGENT: South Llano Strategies (Glen Coleman) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 10, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 9, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2020-0010 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes CS-1-NP to allow a liquor store in a retail center. The Applicant accepts Staff recommendation to prohibit cocktail lounge land use. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a space in a retail shopping center located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Craigswood Drive and FM 969. Other uses in the shopping center include a convenience store with gas pumps, retail and limited restaurant uses. The property is zoned LR-NP; the Applicant proposes rezoning only the portion of the building where the liquor store is proposed. Immediately to the west of the property is undeveloped property zoned W/LO-CO; further west are properties zoned CS-CO-NP and CS-NP that include cocktail lounge, machine shop and undeveloped land uses. Immediately south of the property is a residential neighborhood zoned SF-2-NP. Across Craigswood Drive to the east is property zoned LR-NP that is developed with a convenience store with gas pumps. Also to the east are single family residences zoned SF-2-NP and undeveloped land zoned LI-NP. Across FM 969 to the north is the Mosaic Sound Collective which includes several music production-related uses. The property is predominately zoned CS-MU-CO-NP and contains a footprint area of CS-1-MU-CO-NP zoning as well. Also across FM 969 are properties zoned LR-MU-NP, MF-2-NP, and LI-PDA-NP that are undeveloped, developed with single family residences, and undeveloped, respectively. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the Applicant’s request of CS-1 with the condition that cocktail lounge is a prohibited land use. The addition of CS-1-CO-NP at this location will allow additional services to the surrounding area. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. sought. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district Per City Code, “Commercial-liquor sales (CS-1) district is the designation for a commercial or industrial use of a service nature that has operating characteristics or traffic service requirements that are incompatible with residential environments. Liquor sales is one of the permitted uses in a CS-1 district.” CS-1 zoning is the only zoning designation that permits liquor store land use.
