MTG. DATE: February 27, 2023 BACKGROUND The applicant has requested a rezoning change from both SF -2 and GR to Commercial. A surveyed legal description was supplied for this request which proposes splitting off the rear portion of the residential property that contains the large accessory building to be re -platted with the larger 5 acre tract along the loop highway. A contractor business is planned for use of this building and the large barn structure to the rear of the accessory building. A separate entrance from the Old Jefferson Highway is available and would need to be improved on the commercially zoned property and screened from the adjacent residence. There is currently a tree landscaped area in place which could be augmented with an additional landscaping hedge or a screening fence. Access is also from a paved roadway and therefore the driveway would need to be paved to the business parking area. With the previous approval of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment, the property may be considered for approval of a zoning change consistent with the comprehensive plan. At its 2/6/23 meeting, the P&Z recommended approval of the rezoning request. ANALYSIS The subject property is zoned SF -2 and GR, but is now guided for Commercial, has 2 large buildings and substantial undeveloped acreage along the SE Loop Highway 286. • The land to the West is zoned AG, is guided for retail, and is undeveloped floodplain. • The land to the North is zoned AG, is guided for Medium Density Residential, and is a church. • The land to the East is zoned PD, is guided for Low Density Residential and is commercial mini storage. • The land to the South is Zoned SF -2, is guided for Low Density Residential and is single family homes.
