Item Nos. 15-17 memo�andum TO: City Council John Godwin, City Manager FROM: Alan Efrussy, AICP, Planning Manager SUBJECT: ZONING PUBLIC HEARINGS DATE: February 5, 2013 BACKGROUND: At the February 4, 2013 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting three public hearings were held to consider the petition of Heritage Ridge Investments, and preliminary and final plats were considered for these subject zoning requests. At that meeting, the commission unanimously recommended approval of all of these items. No one spoke in opposition to the zoning changes. STATUS OF ISSUE: Specifically, the three zoning requests were: (1) a change in zoning from a Planned Development District — c(PD-c) to a Commercial District (C) on Lot 2, City Block 313, located at 3720 Lamar Avenue; (2) a change in zoning from a Commercial District (C) to a Commercial District (C) with a Special Use Permit (49) for auto fuel sales on Lot 2 and 2— E, City Block 313, located at 3720 and 3750 Lamar Avenue; and (3) a change in zoning from a Commercial District (C) to a Commercial District (C) with a Specific Use Permit (49) for auto fuel sales on Lots 5, 6 and 7, City Block 222 — B, located at 2685 Lamar Avenue.

Since these projects were legally published/advertised in the newspaper prior to the staff learning that it needs additional time, the appropriate procedure is to have these three cases on the February l lih agenda and have the council pass over (not table) them "to a date certain" — i.e., February 25th.
