Title
Approving an ordinance on second reading with the caption reading: An ordinance of the City of Pflugerville, Texas, Amending Ordinance No. 1203-15-02-24 of the City of Pflugerville, Texas, as amended, by changing the zoning designation of approximately 43.013 acres of land out of the J. Van Winkle Survey Abstract No. 787, the WM. Barker Survey Abstract No. 109, and the P. Conrad Survey Abstract No. 200 all located generally northeast of the New Meister Ln and Meister Ln intersection, portions of Meister Ln, and land generally west of Meister Ln from Urban Level 4 (CL4) to Campus Industrial (CI); to be known as the Longhorn Rezoning (REZ2106-02); providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances; providing for severability; and providing an effective date.
Summary
The property consists of approximately 43 acres of unimproved agricultural land located between SH 45 and New Meister Ln. Meister Ln bisects the western portion of the property in a general north to south direction, with the remaining land located between Meister Ln and the Mo-Kan right of way. To the east is the expansive Living Spaces warehouse, Heatherwilde Blvd, and a large office/warehouse development. Land to the west contains additional office/warehouses within the Springbrook Corporate Center. Along the north is SH 45 and to the south is New Meister Lane followed by the Royal Pointe single family neighborhood.
The proposed request is to rezone the property to the Campus Industrial (CI) zoning district which will be consistent with adjacent zoning and allow more flexibility for the future development of the property with employment type land uses. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the area along the north side of New Meister Ln as employment with an employment center directly at the intersection of SH 45 and Heatherwilde Blvd. The proposed request is consistent with the plan
Staff Recommendation

Located along the south side of SH 45 and west of Heatherwilde Blvd, the proposed location for the rezoning is consistent with the intent of the zoning district and the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning to the Campus Industrial (CI) zoning district.
