Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0324-0353, submitted by Foresite Group, LLC, for a change of zoning from Agricultural to Planned Development - General Retail to allow an auto parts retailer and other uses permitted in the General Retail zoning district, located at 6491 FM 741.
(No responses in favor or in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations.)
Body
The applicant initially applied for General Retail zoning but agreed to modify the request to Planned Development - General Retail. The property was annexed and zoned Agricultural in 2010. At the time of annexation, the building on the property was under construction for use as a flooring store. Upon annexation, the flooring store became a legal nonconforming use. The applicant would like to demolish the existing building and construct a new building to be an AutoZone store. To do so requires rezoning. Even if the existing building was kept and utilized for the new use, rezoning of the property would still be required.
On April 22, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to approve a change of zoning from Agricultural to Planned Development - General Retail.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
