TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD-2 (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District
FILE: 1975-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Kerry Moncla, representing Northwood Christian Church, has applied
for a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District
to GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2)
District. The property is located at 5050 Eastex Freeway.
Northwood Christian Church owns approximately 6.4 acres at its
current location. Of that, it would like to sell 3 acres and keep the
remaining 3.4 acres for its current church operations. The church
feels that the property, under its current zoning classification, would
not be developable. Due to the property=s freeway location, single
family residential is not the highest and best use of the property.
The City=s Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as an
Activity Corridor. As such, highway commercial, wholesale
distributing and warehousing operations, restricted light industry,
business offices, hotels and higher density residential development is
recommended for such areas.
GC-MD-2 zoning would require that any use that is proposed for the
subject property would require that a specific use permit be approved
by City Council.
Exhibits are attached.
