RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval of a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwellin g) District to RM-M (Residential Multi le Family Dwelling-Medium Density) District for 16.20 acres as depicted in Attachment "C". BACKGROUND Fittz & Shipman, Inc. has applied for a zone change. In November, 2006, a master plan was submitted for the entire property. That plan called for approximately 38 acres for single family development, approximately 12 acres for apartments and approximately 12 acres for patio homes and elderly housing. Now, Muse Limited, the developer and property owner, would like to rezone the 38+ acres (Tract 1) that was originally zoned RS and RM-M to 16.2 acres of RM-M and 15.73 acres of RM-H and to rezone the 3+ acres (Tract 2) from RS to RM-H. 5.17 acres of the proposed RM-H will be developed as an assisted living site for the elderly and 13.92 acres will be developed as apartments. The 16.2 acres of RM-M zoning is to be developed with townhomes. Staff has a concern that Concord, in its current form, would have a difficult time handling the additional traffic that the submitted development plan would generate. Therefore, staff recommends that only the 16.20 acres as depicted in Attachment "B" be approved for rezoning at this time. At a Joint Public Hearing held January 25, 2010, the Planning Commission recommended 8:0 to approve a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to RM-M I (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Medium Density) District for 16.20 acres as depicted in Attachment "C".

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends denial of the specific use permit. BACKGROUND Alan Cramer with Alan Cramer Investments, has applied for a specific use permit. Mr. Cramer states that the office will be staffed by 2-3 employees. Day to day business will consist of the signing and processing of applications and leases, collecting payments and supplying keys and work orders to maintenance crews. Hours of operation will be Monday - Friday, 8`.00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The subject property consists of a two story residence and an existing garage. The applicant proposes to construct nine additional parking spaces at the rear of the house. As a result of a specific use permit granted in 1988 for a child care facility, the existing driveway was expanded to include a paved turn-around for two-way traffic. The most recent use of the property has been single family residential. In June, 2006, City Council denied a request for a specific use permit to allow a financial consulting office at 2570 North. That property is adjacent to the subject property's east property line. This denial was based upon the desire of residents of the Old Town neighborhood to restrict further commercial encroachment into the neighborhood. This would be the only commercial use in this particular block. The nearest commercial use is a lawyer's office at the northwest corner of North and Tenth Streets. This particular request would require that the back yard be paved over to provide additional parking to serve the proposed business. There has been a tendency for residential structures, once converted for commercial uses, to not revert back to residential uses. At a Joint Public Hearing held January 25,2010,the Planning Commission recommended 8:0 to deny a specific use permit to allow a real estate office in an RCR-H(Residential Conservation and Revitalization-Historic) District at 2580 North Street.

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval subject to the following condition: • A 60' wide general utility easement shall be retained. BACKGROUND The Beaumont Independent School District (BISD) has requested the abandonment. BISD has demolished the old Fehl Elementary School and is building a new school as part of the BISD bond program. Eighth Street, between Milam and Blanchette, is unimproved. However, over the years, BISD has used the right-of-way for bus parking and a parking lot for Fehl Elementary School. Now that the new school is being built and wishes to utilize a portion of the right-of-way, BISD is asking that the entire length of 8" Street, between Milam and Blanchette be abandoned. This item was sent to all interested parties. AT&T has an aerial pole lead and underground conduit run in the right-of-way. AT&T objects to the abandonment unless the entire right-of- way is retained as a general utility easement. At a Public Hearing held January 25, 2010, the Planning Commission recommended approval 8:0 of an abandonment of a portion of 8`' Street between Blanchette and Milam, subject to the following condition: • A 60' wide general utility easement shall be retained.

The City is entering into initial industrial contracts with both companies that will be effective January 1, 2010. The in-lieu of tax payment will be based on a ratio of 80% of property taxes due to the City as if the industry were located within the city limits in 2010 and 2011 and 75% of property taxes due to the City in 2012 through 2015. The 2010 payment by each company will be calculated based on 80% of the assessed value multiplied by the tax rate effective on October 1, 2009. Payments for 2010 will be due to the City on March 1, 2010. A copy of the agreements are attached for your review. BUDGETARY IMPACT The estimated FY 2010 payments for Koch Nitrogen Company, LLC, and Koch Nitrogen International Sari, are $23,208 and $53,112, respectively.
