STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Mike Lindsay, representing 5550 Eastex Freeway L.P., has applied for a zone
change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD
(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District. The property is
located at 5550 Eastex Freeway.
The property is developed with an office building. All of the building
is zoned GC-MD except for the west 51 feet. That 51 feet and the most westerly
31 feet of the subject property is zoned RS. Mr. Lindsay states that 5550
Eastex Freeway L.P. leases space to the State of Texas. The State needs
additional office space so the company would like to construct an additional
4,160 sq. ft. of office space on the west end of the building to accommodate
the State=s needs.
In order to make the zoning comply with how the property is currently and
proposed to be developed, it needs to be rezoned to GC-MD.
Exhibits are attached.
