down, the storage buildings could be clearly seen. He would like to
see the trees north of him not taken down. He is also concerned about
water drainage. He is not against progress.

Soup's spray field, and north of Highway 79, to include portions of
18th Street NW, 19th Street NW, and Butler Street.
This item was tabled at the December 6, 2004, meeting. Motion was
made by Bobby Myers to remove item from the table, seconded by
Cleveland Thomas. Motion failed with a vote of 4 ayes and 4 nays
(Benny Plata, Brad Archer, Reeves Hayter, Carl Lucas voting
against).
Consideration of and action on establishing a schedule for
amendments to the comprehensive plan.
Reeves Hayter stated that scheduling would take at least 3 months.
Plans were submitted by consultants several years ago. The
consultants indicated long-term future growth and the long term has
arrived. Mobile homes should be considered as well. Land use
should be planning, not zoning. On the right hand of the map, several
categories are listed. It should be studied and determined if that level
of land use planning is wanted. Zoning has more levels than shown
on the map. Reeves stated that this was thrown at the Commission
last month without the ability to plan for it.
Benny Plata asked if there should be a special meeting for this.
Reeves Hayter stated that it would be a regular meeting but open.
Carl Lucas stated that 3 meetings sounded reasonable. Reeves
Hayter stated that it might take 3 meetings to get into a position to
hear public input.
Carl Lucas stated that he would like categories defined. Reeves
Hayter stated that next month categories can be looked at on the side.
Also, areas needing changing can be looked at as well as mobile home
information from Lisa.

Zoning Change Requests to be Presented at the February 7, 2005, Meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Commission, and the February 14, 2005, Meeting of the City
Council of the City of Paris
DATE:
January 31,2005
The following zoning change requests will be presented at the February 7,2005, meeting of
the Planning and Zoning Commission for its consideration:
1.
Brad Drake is requesting that the property located on Lot 27-A, City Block 251, being
number 205 Loop 286 N. W., be rezoned from a Commercial District (C) to a Light Industrial
District (LI) for the purpose of constructing a commercial warehouse. The Comprehensive
Plan recommends that property along the Loop located east of the railroad tracks, which is
where this property is located, be zoned for retail/commercial use; however, it further
recommends that the area immediately south of this property, which appears to include a
portion of this property itself, and on the west side of the railroad tracks be zoned light
industrial.

7.2. 1 Compatibility Criteria
The following is a summary of the general criteria used in formulating the plan
map. The Future Land Use section contains policies addressing location criteria.
1. If the parcel is vacant, is the vacant land adjacent to a use that would not be
compatible or prevent reasonable future development of the property? .
2. Is the size of the vacant tract conducive to a single use or multiple uses?
3. Are natural barriers available to buffer incompatible uses?
4. Do the new or proposed uses meet goals or objectives established in this
pIan or by other adopted studies? .
5. Do the proposed uses protect adjacent residential neighborhoods?
6. Do the proposed uses "fit" an established pattern or trend that is desirable?
7. Can the proposed uses be adequately served by public facilities/amenities?
In order to apply these basic criteria, a parcel-by-parcel existing land use inventory
was conducted and mapped by the Department of Commwrlty Development in 1995
to fully analyze and understand existing land use patterns in Irving. The existing land
use was initially mapped to apply compatibility criteria and goals and objectives for the
community. Since Irving is over two-thirds developed, it was important that the present
character and development type be considered before identifying new land uses.
7.2.2 Land Use Categories
Prior to preparing the future land use map, a list of land uses categories was
formulated. These categories reflect uses grouped together that will generally
be compatible with each other. They do not reflect the City's existing zoning
district categories, but will be used as a guide to develop new zoning districts to
assist in plan implementation. These categories are listed in Table 1 with ex-
amples of the type of use or development associated with each.

IV. LAND USE
LOCATION CRITERIA
The follO\ving location criteria support the planning model and the policies in the Guidelines for Gro\\-1h
Element. The location criteria are organized by land use type. These criteria are the basis for the
development of the Future Land Use Map. Particular attention should be given to the design criteria for
commercial development expressed here and in the policies in order to avoid unsightly strip commercial
development and hazardous traffic conflictc;.
The Future Land Use Map with the supporting analysis in this Comprehensive Plan provides the rational
basis for establishing zoning districts. \Vhereas, the Comprehensive Plan provides the general guidelines
for development patterns, the operative element is the zoning ordinance. Zoning is the most effective
means of implementing the Future Land Use Map.
RESlD ENTlAL
The following categories of residential development define the accepted density ranges for those
categories in Fredericksburg:
1. Low Density Re.ddential (~ 5.0 du/acre). The Low Density designation is designed to
reflect the small town character of Fredericksburg and the 7,500-square-foot minimum lot
size. Single family, detached homes typify this category. Duplexes or other multi-family
dwelling units are not precluded, however, as long as the gross density is not over 5.0
dwelling units per acre.
2. jloderate Density Residential (5.0-14.52 du/acre). The Moderate Density designation
is meant to accommodate duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, moderate-density
apartments, and mobile home parks.
3. High Density Re.ddential (> 14.52-22.7 du/acre). This land use category covers the
highest density multi-family dwellings.
Low and moderate density residential development should be oriented toward the center of the
neighborhood and away from major traffic arterials; the moderate density housing should be located at
the edges of these residential areas.
High density residential development should have direct access to collector streets or, as appropriate,
minor arterials, and should be buffered from low and moderate density single family residences by
fencing, setbacks, landscaping, and building orientation. Traffic generated by high density residential
development should not be routed through low density residential areas. Different residential densities
may abut one another as long as (a) a proper buffer is provided and (b) traffic generated by the higher
density residential area is not routed through the lower density areas.
Residential areas of all types should be adequately buffered from non-residential uses through the
utilization of landscaping, height transitions, berms, fences, walls, or open space to mitigate potential
adverse impacts. Schools and parks should be centrally locate~ within and easily accessible from the
surrounding neighborhoods.
PARKS AND RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE
For a city the size of Fredericksburg, geographic criteria, land availability, and local financial capacity
tend to override quantitative criteria for minimum acreage, service area, and population served. Within
that context, Fredericksburg should have at least one community park for each geographic area roughly
detemlined by major roadways and one park serving the entire city. Community and city parks are
defined by the foUowing criteria based on locally determined standards and consistent with state and
2/1/2005 2:45 p~
"
Comprehensive Plan Sec 4
http://www.fbgtx.org/comppIan/plan4.ht
national standards:
1. Community Parks. Community parks should be 7 to 15 acres in size, should have a
service area radius of approximately a half mile, and should be developed in locations that
do not require the crossing of a major highway for access. Wherever possible, community
parks should be located adjacent schools. Combined scbooVpark sites should be
approximately 25 acres for an elementary school, 50 acres for a junior high school, and 75
acres for a high schooL
2. City Parks. A city park should be at least 25 acres in size, should serve the current and
future needs of the entire city, and should be developed in a location accessible by major
roadways. City parks in rural communities often double as regional parks within the
county.
COl\IMERCIAL
1. Celltral Business District. The Central Business District (CBD) is the historic,
commercial, public, and tow'ist center of Fredericksburg. Its vitality is important to the
vitality of Fredericksburg's business community as a whole. IDe most intensely used
portion of the CBD was surveyed for a parking study. The area surveyed covers both sides
of Austin, Main, and San Antonio Streets between \Vashington and Milam Streets. At the
time that the survey was done (late 1995), there were approximately 315,000 square feet
of gross leasable retail space in that area. The CBD continues to expand beyond that area
from creek to creek.
The concept of development in the CBD is summarized below (see policies l.mder Goals I
and 2 in Chapter III, Guidelines for Gro'-\1h):
a. All development in the CBD should have a strong street
presence with buildings close to the sidewalk and parking in
the rear.
b. Landmarks at the historic edges of original Fredericksburg
township should be preserved and enhanced as "points of
an-ivai."
c. For those lots in the CBD outside the historic district that do
not lend themselves to porticoed sidewalks along the building
fronts, the City's landscape and sign ordinances should
continue to be implemented to maintain a street presence.
d. Increased parking and pedestrian linkages should be
incorporated into the CBD.
2. Shopping Centers. Other retail commercial centers should be 3 to 10 acres in size and
should be located at the intersection of two arterial streets or an arterial and a major
collector street to support adjacent neighborhoods. A supermarket will often anchor a
neighborhood center at the larger end of the scale. Other stores might include a drug store,
a book store, video store, music store, bakery, cafe, children's clothing and shoes, or gift
boutiques. Such centers can approach the scale of a community center but lack the
department or variety store anchor. At the other end of the scale, a neighborhood center
3 of5
2/1/2005 2:45 P
..
:omprehensive Plan See 4
http://www.fbgtx.org!eompplan/plan4.ht
might incJude a convenience store, a dry cleaners, video store, and other convenience
goods and personal services.
3. Commercial Strips. Commercial strips that have extensive street fTontage, other than in
the CBD, should be of sufficient depth to allow access to and egress ftom intersecting
streets in order to minimize the number of driveways and to prevent the need for cars to
back into traffic.
Heavy commercial uses, such as machine shops and automobile repair shops, should be
located on thoroughfares away from prime retail locations. They should be located
adjacent to industrial areas unless there is a distinct relationship to other uses that demands
proximity to those uses. A gas station, which may also include a convenience store, would
be a heavy commercial use that could be located in a neighborhood or community
shopping center.
INDUSTRIAL
All industry should take advantage of highway access as much as possible. Transition between industrial
and nearby residential areas should be accomplished by the scaling down of activity within the industrial
district through the use of screening, landscaping, preservation of natural open space, setbacks, and
design compatibility, including consideration of building height, bulk, and lot coverage. IndustTial uses
should minimize impacts on nearby or adjacent residential areas by avoiding the placement of loading
zones, vehicle maintenance w.ens, and outside storage on the side of the residential areas.
Truck tratnc should be routed to avoid residential areas as much as possible. Industrial and heavy
commercial uses should not be located at the end of collector streets that serve or pass through
residential areas. In the event that a truck route is built around Fredericksburg, land adjacent to it would
be most suited to heavy commercial uses and industrial parks.
FUTURE LAND USE
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
The Future Land Use Map shows the desired and anticipated development pattern ",;thin the extent of
the 1995 extraterritorial jurisdiction (Map IV -1). It reflects that fact that, although certain trends will
prevail, those trends can be influenced through local actions. The residential land use requirements for
approximately 7,000 additional people in the planning area, which extends beyond the 1995 ETJ, are
approximately 1,000 acres and about 3,000 dwelling units by the year 2020. This projected growth is an
increase of approximately 50 percent in the planning area and comparable to the amount of residential
acreage cWTently inside the city limits. Although not all of this grO\vth will occur within the
incorporated area, all of it will surely impact the City.
Much more than the projected 1,000 acres ofresidcntial development are shown on the Future Land Use
1vIap in order to indicate where the potential growth areas are for the various land uses. This approach
was taken show options for the housing market while trying to convey some sense of the extent of
growth over the next 2S years.
Parks are designated in accordance with the location criteria to serve the residential areas Wld to take
advantage of floodplain open space and other environmentally constrained land as much as possible. In
no way do park designations imply the taking of private property without just compensation. New parks
can be obtained through the subdivision process. InfiH parks can be obtained through donations and
acquisition.
RetaiJ commercial development is designated in accordance with the location criteria to serve the
residential development. Office is mixed with retail in the future land use designations; but the location
4 of5
2/1/2005 2:45 P.
Comprehensive Plan Sec 4
http://www.fbgtx.orglcompplanlplan4.h
criteria regarding the clustering of retail still apply and should be incorporated into the zoning
ordinance.
Industrial land use designations are ShO\o\-l1 consistent with the location criteria and are extensive enough
to give maximum flexibility to the location of new industry and the expansion of existing industry in
appropriate locations.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCEPT
The neighborhood concept is the basis for the planning model presented in the Guidelines for Gro\\th
Element. The follmyjng assumptions are reflected in the concept:
1. The grid street pattern is eilicient and should be continued in Fredericksburg but in the
context of a functional hierarchy of local streets and thoroughtàres.
2. The future residential land use mix should be approximately the same as the existing
mix.
3. Parks should be located geographically in accordance with the location criteria.
4. Office land uses are suitable uses on thoroughfares to separate retail development.
5. Industrial land uses should be separated from residential uses and should take
advantage of major thoroughfares in accordance \-vith the location criteria.
