MEMORANDUM TO : PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FROM : DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEMS FOR DECEMBER 2, 1974 ITEM NO. 1: This request for Office zoning is located immediately south of the Brookshire's Store on the southeast corner of Austin Street and 10th S.E. The property is presently occupied by five residential structures. The appli- cants have an option to purchase this property subject to zoning. They anticipate construction of an office building on the site. Both applicants are physicians and currently have offices on Lamar Avenue. The site is within 2 blocks of St. Joseph's Hospital. It appears that the property in- volved would have little chance for redevelopment as residential as much of it faces into the rear of Brookshire's building. Staff recommends approval subject to preparation and recording of a plat of the property with provisions for adequate drainage to be approved by the City Engineer. ITEM NO. 2: We have been discussing zoning and land use in the Jefferson Road, Eighth S.E. area for the past two months and a public hearing has been called as a result of those discussions. There was a descrepancy in the minutes of the last meeting setting the limits of Tract No. 2 which should be corrected. The tract of land bordered by 6th S.E., Evergreen Street and Old Jefferson Road was included in the description of Tract No. 2 and was reflected as such in City Council minutes. As I recalled the discussion, the Planning Commission did not want to change the zoning on this tract and it is not included in the notices of the public hearing. In order to correct the situation it is recommended that the minutes of November 4, 1974 be amended to delete that portion of land from the description of Tract No. 2. I have had a few calls from area property owners concerning the proposed zoning; however, I believe that in the course of the public hearing, these concerns can be satisfied. ITEM NO. 3: The City Council is going ahead with the annexation procedures on the Campbell Soup Property. It is uncertain at this time whether annexation proceedings will be completed by December 31, 1974. Also still uncertain is the proper zoning to be recommended for the property should annexation occur. We have had no contact with Campbell Soup concerning their wants or needs, and unless new information is furnished at the meeting, staff recommends that the public hearing be closed and no action taken. When annexation does occur, a temporary Agricultural zoning will automatically be applied to the property. PA, CoLL--o-- 0
