Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0521-0202, submitted by Graham Baumann, WRA Architects on behalf of the Mesquite Independent School District, for a change of zoning from Planned Development - Single-Family Ordinance No. 3783 to Planned Development - Single-Family Ordinance No. 3783 with a Conditional Use Permit to allow a new elementary school with a modification to the Special Conditions to allow queuing of vehicles within the public right-of-way, located at 6550 Shannon Road (future address is 6425 Park Vista Drive).
(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.)
Body
The Mesquite Independent School District proposes construction of the District’s 34th elementary school on property located in the Hagan Hill subdivision. In addition to a Conditional Use Permit, the applicant is requesting a modification that would allow the queuing of vehicles to extend onto Chantilly Road. No other uses will front on or take access from Chantilly Road. The street is 37 feet in width, which is wider than most neighborhood streets. This additional width will leave space on the street for through traffic, including emergency vehicles at the time queuing is taking place.
On June 28, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve a change of zoning from Planned Development - Single-Family Ordinance No. 3783 to Planned Development - Single-Family Ordinance No. 3783 with a Conditional Use Permit to allow a new elementary school with a modification to the Special Conditions to allow queuing of vehicles within the public right-of-way.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
