The conditional overlay will prohibit Automotive Rentals, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing, Drop-Off Recycling, Exterminating Services and Pawn Shop Services uses on the property. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 3, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0124 - Parmer Lane Center; District 71 of 10 C14-2025-0124 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is an undeveloped 4.05 acre area. The lots to the north fronting Parmer Lane, contain a retail strip center and an automotive repair business. To the east, there is an undeveloped area and a detention pond. The lots to the west are developed with restaurant uses and a car wash. To the south, there are duplex residences and office uses. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to GR-MU to develop retail, office, restaurant uses and residential uses at this location. The staff recommends Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning, with a conditional overlay to prohibit the more intensive commercial uses adjacent to the SF-3 zoning/residential uses to the south. The GR base district will permit additional commercial services on this property with access to West Parmer Lane a designated activity corridor (Parmer Lane Activity Corridor). These undeveloped lots are located within an existing commercial center at the southeast intersection of two Level 4/arterial roadways, Metric Boulevard and Parmer Lane. The proposed MU combining district will allow for a mixture of uses at this location near a Capital Metro bus route (325- Metrict/Rundberg) and bus stops (12430 Metric/Parmer and 4795 – Metric/Running Bird) to the west at the intersection of Metric Boulevard and Running Bird Lane. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Community Commercial district is intended for office and commercial uses serving neighborhood and community needs, including both unified shopping centers and individually developed commercial sites, and typically requiring locations accessible from major traffic ways. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, …
