Summary
The property is located along the west side of Grand Avenue Parkway, south of W. Pflugerville Parkway, in the western portion of the city limits. According to the current property owner, an office has been in operation on the property since she purchased it in 2002. The owner was not aware of the current zoning district on the property, and has intentions of leasing the property to another business. In order to establish a conforming zoning district to allow for a change in use, the applicant has proposed the Neighborhood Services (NS) zoning district, which will allow the property to be used by land uses that have been identified as compatible with neighboring residential property.
Staff Recommendation
The proposed zoning to the Neighborhood Services (NS) district will provide a conforming zoning to the property, and ensure any future non-residential land use remains compatible with the adjacent single-family residential development. The proposed request is generally in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and staff recommends approval.
Planning and Zoning Commission Action
On June 6, 2016 the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended approval of the proposed ordinance with a vote of 5-0.
Prior City Council Action
The City Council held a public hearing and approved the ordinance on first reading on June 28, 2016.
