Sabo lIf Exhibits: Ordinance Aerial Map Zoning Map Appropriation Source of Funds: N/A Account Number: N/A Amount Budgeted: N/A Amount Requested: N/A Budgeted Item: N/A Department: Plan nine Report: _Resolution: _Ordinance: X SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission, during their August 19, 2004 meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen comments regarding Rezone Request #R04-008. This request involves 1.75 acres of land located at 9702 & 9710 Spencer Highway, further described as TRS l1A and 11 B, Block 3, W. J. Payne Subdivision, in the W. M. Jones Survey, Abstract 482, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. During the zoning map review, staff found the subject property is zoned Low-Density Residential (R-l). In addition, the property has commercial establishments operating as pre-existing and non-confonning for several years. So, the purpose of this rezone request is to bring the non-conformity into a more conforming use with the current ordinances. The City has a plan to build a new Fire Station No. 2 adjacent to this property at 97 I 0 Spencer Highway near the Baker Junior School. The City staff is using this opportunity to extend the General Commercial (GC) zone to include the proposed fire station site and existing commercial strip along Spencer Highway at Underwood Road. As required by ordinance, seven notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the site. Staff did not receive any response. By a unanimous vote, the Commission recommends to Council approval of Rezone Request #R 04-008. Action Required by Council: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Consider taking action on an Ordinance for 1.75 acres of land located along Spencer Highway to rezone the property from R-l to GC for proposed Fire Station No.2 to be located at 9710 Spencer Highway.
