Rezoning from LI to Proposed C-la 9.09 acres DATE: November 21, 2005 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - December 1, 2005 ITEM: 8.B.7. Consider an ordinance rezoning 9.09 acres of land, more or less, out of the Ephraim Evans Survey from District LI (Light Industrial) to District C - la (General Commercial -Limited). (First Reading) (Julian Marie Roy Trust) Department: Planning and Community Development Department Staff Person: Jim Stendebach, Director Justification: Although the subject property is currently zoned LI (Light Industrial) and is designated for industrial uses on the Future Land Use Map contained in the General Plan, new developments in northeast Round Rock have altered the market along Chandler Road such that commercial uses are now appropriate at this location. This shift from industrial uses to commercial uses is reflected in the proposed amendment to the General Plan Future Land Use Map. Because of the location of the property and the market it is likely to attract, staff agrees with the applicant that the new C -la (General Commercial - Limited) zoning district is the right commercial district for the tract. The requested zoning change is contingent on two previous agenda items being approved: (1) the amended Future Land Use Map designating this property for commercial use, and (2) the proposed C -la (General Commercial Limited) zoning district. Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: Jim Hislop Background Information: The property was annexed and zoned for industrial use in 1984. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the proposed zoning change at its November 2, 2005, meeting with the following conditions: (1) that City Council approve the amended Future Land Use Map designating this property for commercial use, and (2) that City Council adopt the proposed C -la (General Commercial - Limited) zoning district. Public Comment: A public hearing was held at the November 2, 2005, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
