Project Summary
The proposed zoning map amendment consists of seven platted lots that are currently zoned “OS” (Open Space) and “RSF-5” (Residential Single-Family with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet). The current plat configuration has portions of the seven lots zoned “OS” (Open Space). The zoning map amendment will rezone all seven lots to the “RSF-5” District, to match the platted lot configuration.
The approved Master Plan for the Bay View Subdivision was adopted in 2005 and shows the subject property as single-family lots. After the Master Plan was adopted, no application was submitted to change the zoning on the seven lots to match the Master Plan. The proposed zoning map amendment will allow for the construction of houses as detailed in the approved Master Plan. The rezoning from the “OS” District does not reduce any required parkland for the development. The rezoning is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s designation of the property as Enhanced Auto Dominant Residential.
On August 14, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended unanimous approval, 6-0-0 with two members absent. The applicant was the only person who spoke during the P&Z public hearing. The Planning Department has not received any public communications either in favor or opposed to this requests.
It is requested that this item be considered on first and final reading since the applicant’s request was delayed because of a meeting cancellations due to Hurricane Harvey.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Zoning Change Application, MAP-17-0001 (Bay View Section 4), a request to rezone approximately 1.19 acres from “OS” (Open Space) to “RSF-5” (Residential Single-Family with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet.
