ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 18, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2024-0014 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is currently developed with an automotive repair use that takes access to FM 1825 Road. The property received an interim (I-SF-2) land use designation upon annexation. The surrounding areas to the north, south and west are zoned GR-CO. There is an automotive washing use (Mister Car Wash) to the north and a surface parking area to the south. To the west there is a retail center, with restaurant uses, retail sales (Ashley Furniture) and an indoor entertainment (Cinemark Tinseltown Movie Theater). Across FM 1825 Road to the east, there is a retail use (Bloomin Across Texas Florist) in the county. In this request, the applicant is seeking a permanent commercial zoning designation for the property. The staff recommends GR, Community Commercial District, zoning for the site under consideration. The property meets the intent of the district as it fronts onto a major arterial roadway, FM 1825 Road.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 18, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2024-0068 ISSUES: 2 This lot is located just to the west/outside an ETOD station area (Triangle). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is developed with a vacant single family residence zoned SF-3. There are single-family residences to the south and west that are also zoned SF-3. The lot to the north is zoned LO and is developed with an office structure. To the east, there is a telecommunication tower, a medical office use and a pet services use zoned CS-V that front onto N. Lamar Boulevard. The applicant is requesting to rezone this site under consideration to GO-MU to utilize this vacant property as parking for the blood donation center to the east. The staff recommends GO-V zoning as the property meets the intent of the General Office base district. This site will provide accessory parking for the adjacent civic use that will serve community and city-wide needs. The proposed ‘MU’ Combining District will allow for the residential component to remain or be redeveloped at this location in the future. There are public transit options in the area as the property is 0.13 miles from a Capital Metro bus route (#803) and bus stop (#4528) on N Lamar Boulevard.
