Summary
The subject parcel is an approximate 5.03-acre tract of land located north of Rowe Lane along the eastern side of Farm to Market 685. The applicant is seeking to develop the land for a landscape contracting business. This is a commercial/retail development, similar to what is existing to the north. The applicant has requested to rezone the property from Agriculture/Development Reserve (A) to General Business 2 (GB2). The GB2 zoning district is intended to provide a convenient location for small scale service and commercial related establishments, such as wholesale products, contractor shops, mini storage, major automotive repair, and similar more intense commercial uses. The uses included in this district should be located on a collector or higher classification thoroughfare.
