Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0722-0248, submitted by Graham Baumann, WRA Architects, Inc. on behalf of Mesquite ISD, for a change of zoning from Agricultural and Planned Development - Single Family No. 3887 to Agricultural and Planned Development - Single Family No. 3887 with a Conditional Use Permit to allow a school use on the property, located at 3300 East Cartwright Road.
(One response in favor and none 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
Mesquite Independent School District (MISD) is proposing an 85,000 square foot expansion of Horn High School to serve as a 9th grade center. This expansion would accommodate approximately 630 students. The proposed addition is necessary due to significant new housing developments in the area including Ridge Ranch and Solterra.
A Traffic Impact Analysis and a Traffic Management Plan were completed and have been found acceptable by the Traffic Engineering Division. The Traffic Management Plan was prepared to not only address the proposed addition, but to improve existing conditions.
On September 26, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve Application No. Z0722-0248, for a change in zoning from Agricultural and Planned Development - Single Family No. 3887 to Agricultural and Planned Development - Single Family No. 3887 with a Conditional Use Permit to allow a school use on the property.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
