Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT: Request for a zone change from RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density) to GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) District for properties at the southwest corner of Rockwell and San Jacinto. FILE: 1447-2 STAFF REPORT Mr. Carl A. Langley (International Farms, Inc.) owns pails of Lots 2 and 3 and all of Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block 107, Cartwright Addition. South of this across an abandoned alley is part of Block 4, Booker Heights Addition, which lies between Fourth Street and San Jacinto, fronting on Washington Boulevard, Mi. Langley owns Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16, said Block 4, Booker Heights. The northeast one quarter of the block bound by Fourth Street, Washington Boulevard, San Jacinto and Rockwell is zoned RM-H (Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block 107, Cartwright Addition) and is the property requested for change. The remaining three quarters of the block are already zoned GC -MD, Mr. Langley desires that all of his property be zoned GC -MD. There is a new strip shopping center on the southeast 1/4 of the "block". The applicant stated that he would like to build a parking lot on the three lots requested for change. The new strip retail center is in need of additional parking space, according to Mr. Langley. The three lots face into the side of several metal buildings used as machine shops.

The reason for this request is that I also own adjoining property located in Block 107, Lot 3 and part of Lot Z. This is commercially zoned. In addition, I own adjoining Lots 13,14-15,16 in Block 4 of Cartwright Addition which are also commercially zoned. This property (13,14,15,16) borders a Major Arterial (Washington Blvd..) and a Minor Arterial (Fourth St.), a busy intersection. In closing, it is extremely necessary that I get this property commercially zoned (GC -MD) in order for one to consider future development for this area. Thank you for consideration in this matter. look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Carl A.
