TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) to RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District and a specific use permit to allow a self
storage facility in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple
Family Dwelling) District.
FILE: 1733-Z/P
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of the zone change and
of the specific use permit subject to the following conditions:
1. The lot being graded to drain towards the street and not
onto adjacent properties. (City Engineer)
2. Some buildings modification may be required to ensure
internal traffic circulation. (Traffic Manager)
Faust Engineering & Surveying, Inc., the applicant, has made
application to rezone 1.97 acres of land fronting on Old Voth
Road to RS for single family residential development. In
addition, Adams Storage, the property owner, is requesting a
specific use permit to expand its existing self storage facility
at 8161 Eastex Freeway.
The proposal for the RS zoning includes 16 single family
residential lots with a typical lot size of 50' x 100'. A
separate replat of this property will be considered by the
Planning Commission. Concerns over drainage issues will need
to be addressed prior to any development of the residential
property. The specific use permit would allow the construction
of approximately 42,600 sq. ft. of additional warehouse area.
Exhibits are attached.
