ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 ZONING TO: SF-2 CASE: C14-2023-0128 ZONING FROM: DR ADDRESS: 8711 Chisolm Lane SITE AREA: 3.01 acres (131,136 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: John Luke Sanchez AGENT: Renee Godinez CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant single family residence-standard lot (SF-2) district zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 30, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: There are no issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 3.01 acre platted lot, which is located at the end of Chisolm Lane and is currently zoned development reserve (DR) district. The subject site is developed with a manufactured home residence. Development on Chisolm Lane consists of single- family residences and manufactured homes on properties that were annexed into the city in 1984. Chisholm Lane is a mixture of unplatted tracts and subdivided lots that range between approximately 0.18 acres and 1.5 acres in size. In general, the smaller platted lots have SF-2, single family residence-standard lot zoning (approximately 35% of all residential lots on Chisholm Lane) and the larger tracts / lots have DR zoning (approximately 65%). There are single-family residences and manufactured homes to the north, south, east and west (SF-2, C14-2023-0128 2 SF-2-CO and DR). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant has requested a rezoning to the single family residence – standard lot (SF-2) district in order to build an additional single family residential home for a total of two residences on the property. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The single-family residence-standard lot (SF-2) district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 5,750 square feet. This district is appropriate for existing single-family neighborhoods having moderate sized lot patterns, as well as for development of additional single-family housing areas with minimum land requirements. 2. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Single family residence (SF-2) district zoning will allow for the proposed residential development and is suitable since it is consistent with the land uses in the surrounding area. Staff s recommendation for SF-2 zoning is compatible with the single-family residential character of Chisholm Lane, and with the adjacent properties which have SF-2 zoning.
