STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends approval.
Bruce W. McVeigh is requesting a zone change from RM-H (Residential Multiple
Family Dwelling-Highest Density) to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling) District to correct the split zoning of a property located at 4755 Eastex
Freeway.
Mr. McVeigh is planning to open a Neighbors Emergency Center at this location. The
majority of the property is zoned GC-MD. When Mr. McVeigh contacted the city
regarding the possibility of demolishing an existing building to accommodate much
needed additional parking, he discovered that the portion of the property where the
building sits is zoned RM-H. Adjacent property has been previously rezoned to
GC-MD leaving an odd shaped piece of the zoning district on the subject property.
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.
