PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 12, 2020: March 24, 2020: Meeting cancelled CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 21, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 7B-15 ISSUES: There are no issues at this time. The Applicant proposes to add MU- Mixed Use designation to allow development of part of their property with multifamily residential land use. The Applicant does not propose removing or modifying any of the existing conditional overlays (COs) on the property. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a portion of a property located at the southwest corner of the intersection of East Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (MLK) and US Highway 183. Closest to the intersection is the Church of Christ at East Side, with religious assembly land use. The southeastern portion of the property is the area to be rezoned, and is separated by a tributary of Walnut Creek. The rezoning tract is mostly undeveloped and has frontage on US Highway 183 and Tannehill Lane. The property is zoned CS-CO-NP, with COs that were added at the time of the East MLK neighborhood planning process in 2002. In addition to designating the parcel as mixed use on the future land use map (FLUM), the plan added the following prohibited land uses: adult oriented businesses, automotive sales, blood plasma collection center, convenience storage, equipment sales, vehicle storage, agricultural sales and services, campgrounds, construction sales and services, equipment repair services, kennels, and limited warehousing and distribution land uses. The Applicant does not propose modifying the existing CO. Immediately south of the rezoning tract is land zoned CS-CO-NP with the same conditions as the rezoning tract that is developed with a civic use. Further south are properties developed with religious assembly and multifamily land uses that are zoned MF-2-CO-NP. Across Tannehill Lane to the west are an undeveloped tract (GR-CO-NP) and multifamily land use (MF-3-CO- NP). Southwest of the rezoning tract are religious assembly and private education land uses zoned SF-3-NP. Across MLK Boulevard to the north are a single family neighborhood and a public education land use zoned SF-2-NP and CS-CO-NP. Across US Highway 183 to the east are limited restaurant land use and undeveloped properties with a mix of commercial and limited industrial zoning. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the Applicant’s request to add the MU designation to the existing zoning on the subject tract.
