TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request to rezone from R-S (Residential Single Family Dwelling
District) to GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling District) or
a more restrictive district.
FILE: 2260 – Z
___
STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends rezoning to GC-MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple
Family Dwelling District - 2).
Mark W. Whiteley and Associates, Inc., on behalf of Gospel Center Church, is requesting
a zone change for approximately 5.14 acres to the west of 7505 Eastex Freeway. Property
to the east and west is zoned GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling
District). While staff agrees that the most appropriate zoning of the property would be
commercial, GC-MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling District - 2)
would be more appropriate, allowing for additional protection of the residential properties
to the south.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of
submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
