Summary
The property is located along the north side of W. Pflugerville Pkwy., generally northwest of the Picadilly Dr. and W. Pflugerville Pkwy. intersection. The proposed site consists of approximately 3.218 acres of land that fronts W. Pflugerville Pkwy., and is tucked in between the Springbrook and Springbrook Glen single family neighborhoods. Across W. Pflugerville Pkwy. is the Picadilly Ridge single family neighborhood. A flag shaped tract to the immediate north and east is owned by the Pflugerville Independent School District and used as the Pflugerville High School agricultural barn facility. Travis County Emergency Services District No. 2 Station 4 is located southeast of the property. The existing Agriculture/Conservation (A) zoning district will permit the anticipated place of worship by right. The proposed rezoning request to the Neighborhood Services (NS) district is intended to allow the property to be developed in the future with retail and office uses that are identified as compatible with neighboring residential property.
Staff Recommendation
The proposed zoning to the Neighborhood Services (NS) district will offer flexibility to allow the property to be developed with non-residential land uses, while remaining compatible with neighboring residential property. The proposed request is generally in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and staff recommends approval.
