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 AN APPROXIMATE 1-ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF THE ALEXANDER WALTERS SURVEY IN PFLUGERVILLE, TX, LOCATED GENERALLY SOUTHWEST OF THE E. PFLUGER ST. TERMINUS FROM RETAIL (R) TO SINGLE FAMILY SUBURBAN (SF-S); TO BE KNOWN AS THE LISSO TRACT AT E. PFLUGER ST. REZONING (REZ1307-02) AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Summary
The current owner intends to combine the two tracts of land located between E. Pfluger St. and the MoKan ROW in order to sell the property to a future homeowner. While the northern tract is currently zoned Single Family Suburban and part of the Central Business District Overlay, the subject tract (southern 1-acre) is zoned Retail, which does not allow for a single family residential land use. The applicant is requesting the rezoning so that the property can be combined in the future and a new single family home can be constructed on the property. The Preferred Land Use Vision Plan identifies the area as low to medium density residential, and the proposed zoning is consistent with the land use plan.
Prior Planning and Zoning Commission Action
On September 16, 2013 the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended approval of the proposed ordinance with a vote of 6-0.
Prior City Council Action
On September 24, 2013, the City Council conducted a public hearing and approved the first reading of the ordinance with a vote of 5-0.
Deadline for City Council Action
Approve the ordinance within 60 days of the public hearing.
Staff Recommendation
The subject tract is proposed to be combined with the adjacent tract to the north in order to accommodate a new single family dwelling. Without rezoning the subject tract to the Single Family Suburban (SF-S) zoning district, the proposed residence will be limited to the northern tract since a single family dwelling is not permitted in the Retail zoning district. The proposed request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and staff recommends approval.
