Title
Approving an ordinance on second reading with the caption reading: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1015-09-09-08 OF THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS, AS AMENDED, BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF A 1.399-ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF THE SEFRIN EISELIN SURVEY NO. 1, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF E. PECAN STREET AND OLD AUSTIN-HUTTO ROAD, FROM AGRICULTURE / CONSERVATION (A) TO GENERAL BUSINESS-1 (GB1) ZONING DISTRICT; TO BE KNOWN AS THE REMAINDER OF H.E.B. TRACT/PECAN STREET REZONING (REZ1412-01) AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Summary
The applicant, Mr. Derek Villemez, on behalf of the property owner, H.E.B. Grocery Company L.P., is requesting a rezoning from the interim zoning district of Agriculture/Conservation (A) to General Business-1 (GB1) zoning. The area was annexed in 1994 and was given an interim zoning district of Agriculture/Conservation (A). Since annexation into the City, the subject site's zoning designation has remained in its holding district of Agricultural/Conservation. Currently, the subject site is unimproved, and is situated in form and location as smaller outparcels to the H.E.B. Grocery and retail strip center. The larger H.E.B. lot located to the north and west of the subject site is zoned General Business-1 (GB1) and is compatible with the proposed rezoning of the existing site. While there is single-family residential adjacency to the east, it is separated by approximately 85' of public right-of-way, inclusive of a hike and bike trail, which provides a buffer between the residential use and the more intense commercial uses permitted within GB1.
Staff Recommendation
The General Business-1 (GB-1) zoning district is generally compatible with the adjacent land uses and zoning districts and is in accordance with the "Community Center" concept within the Comprehensive Plan; therefore staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning ordinance on second and final reading.
Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation
The Commission held a public hearing and voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request on February 2, 2015.
Prior City Council Action
The City Council held a public hearing and approved the ordinance on first reading on February 10, 2015.
