Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Zoning Commission (9-0) recommend Approval.
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The property is located within the I-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan, and is currently designated as “Low Density Residential” in the future land use component of the plan. The requested “R-4” base zoning district is consistent with the future land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning request. Surrounding properties are currently zoned “R-4.”
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “R-4” Residential Single-Family is an appropriate zoning for the property and surrounding area.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has not found indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
The rezoning request does not appear to conflict with the land use goals and strategies of the I-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan.
Goals:
• Goal 3: Compatibility of Land Uses Improve the quality of life and safety of residents of the IH 10 East Perimeter Planning area by addressing incompatible land uses.
• Objective 3.1: Increase Building Inspection efforts and Code Compliance throughout the community.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property is 45.637, which would adequately support low and medium density residential uses.
7. Other Factors:
The following request is part of a voluntary annexation by the applicant. Their desired zoning is “R-4” Residential Single-Family development. Based on the acreage and infrastructure requirements the proposed development could yield approximately 373 residential units.
The subject property is located within the Randolph AFB Awareness Zone/Military Influence Area. In accordance with the signed Memorandum of Understanding, JBSA was notified of the proposed request.
