SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family

STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request with a
modification to the landscaping requirement (no landscaping along the
north and east property lines and along the east 210' of the south
property line).
The Social Security Administration is expanding its office on Eastex
Freeway. As a result of this expansion, it needs additional employee
parking. The Social Security Administration would like to construct
the needed parking at 3430 and 3440 Anderson Street.
The subject property is located across the street from its current
headquarters. The new parking lot would provide parking for 36
vehicles.
Exhibits are attached.

properties. An apartment complex is adjacent to the
subject property to the south. To the north is vacant
property and to the west is commercial property.
7. As submitted, the subject property includes all of Tracts
1 and 2 of Lot 76. However, the only portion that is being
developed at this time is the southwest corner of the
property. The site plan shows that the south 75' of the
