FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The subject property is located within the Lone Star Future Land Use Plan and is currently designated as Low Density Mixed-Use in the land use component of the plan. The requested "IDZ" Infill Development Zone is consistent with the adopted land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has not found evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The existing "I-1" General Industrial base zoning district is not appropriate for the surrounding area.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has not found any indication of likely adverse affects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
As the requested rezoning is consistent with the adopted Lone Star Land Use Plan, staff finds that the zone change request does not appear to be in conflict with any public policy.
6. Size of Tract:
The 0.1584 acre parcel is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed development.
7. Other Factors:
None.
