Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from A-R (Agricultural - Residential) District to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multi Family Dwelling) District or more restrictive district. FILE: 2170 - Z ___ STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of a zone change to GC-MD-2. Mr. Vick Nelson is requesting a zone change from A-R (Agricultural-Residential) District to GC-MD (General Commercial–Multiple Family Dwelling) District or more restrictive district. The subject property is located on the north side Folsom Drive, approximately 575’ east of N. Major Drive. This zone change will allow for the property to be used as a general office or professional office complex or as a retail center. Because GC-MD-2 will require a specific use permit, City Council will have more control over uses that might be incompatible with adjacent residential zoning. The property is currently vacant. The other commercial properties to the east and north of the subject property are zoned GC-MD-2. This parcel, in connection with the parcel immediately east of the north/south DD#6 drainage right-of-way, is being considered for zone change at this time. Exhibits are attached.
