For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 1, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be scheduled for July 29, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of an unplatted tract (7401 Albert Road) and a platted lot (7407 Albert Road), is located approximately mid-block and zoned development reserve (DR) district. There is one single family residence located at each address. Albert Road contains single family residences and accessory residences on large lots and tracts zoned DR upon annexation in the mid-1980s. There are similar sized large tracts to the north (DR; SF- 1), south and west (DR), and the Elmwood Estates single family residential subdivision is to the east (SF-2). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit) and B (Subdivision Plat). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build two accessory dwelling units on the property, one at each address. 1 of 12B-3 C14-2021-0060 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. The requested SF-3 zoning would allow for four residences on the two tracts. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the tract meets the intent of the SF-3 district as it fronts on a local residential street and is located within an existing single family residential neighborhood. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and …

Interstate Highway-35 South Bound service road. This lot is currently developed with 1,575 sq. ft. residential structure (most recently used as an Air B & B) and a large 3,604 sq. ft. warehouse. There are office, retail and commercial uses to the north, office and commercial uses to the south and a single-family residential subdivision to the west. The applicant is proposing to redevelop the site with a food court and retail store/food sales use. The staff recommends GR-CO zoning because the property meets the intent of the Community Commercial district. GR-CO zoning will allow for uses that serve the community needs on a property that fronts onto a major freeway/highway, IH-35 South Bound. The proposed GR-CO zoning will be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there are office and retail uses (LO zoning) to the north and office and commercial uses (CS-CO zoning) to the south, across Meadow Lark Avenue. 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. The Community Commercial (GR) district is the designation for an office or other commercial use that serves neighborhood and community needs and that generally is accessible from major traffic ways. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed GR-CO zoning will be …
