The applicant, Horace Leopard on behalf of Sunnner Winds, LLC., seeks to have 1.3 acres of land located in the 9800 Block ofFairmont Parkway, further descnbed as a portion ofTR 719 and E Yz of TR 718, W. M. Jones Survey, A-482, La Porte, Hams County, Texas, rezoned from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) for a commercial/retail development. Due to a recent subdivision and sale of land for a proposed nursing home, this is an undevelopable tract of land because the property does not meet the City's minimum five acres required for any commercial development in a PUD zone. The subject property is in the vicinity of mixed use developments, e.g. single-family, multi-family, and connnerciaVretail Due to its size and location, the property would be better served when zoned as neighborhood connnercial. The zone change would acconnnodate development of a proposed fast food restaurant and commerciaVretail activities near the intersection of Underwood Road and Fairmont Parkway. The Land Use Map shows this area developing as connnercial use, as the subject site is within close proximity to mixed use developments. Some of the uses permitted in a neighborhood commercial zone are as follows: Antique stores, doctors & dentist's offices, drug stores, eating places, hardware stores, and professional offices. In addition, hotels/motels are not a permitted use in a Neighborhood Connnercial (NC) zone. As required by ordinance, three notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the subject site. No response was received in this regard By unanimous vote, the Planning and Zoning Commission has reconnnended to Council, approval of Rezone Request #R07 -003. Action Required bv Council: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Consider taking action on a reconnnendation by the Planning and Zoning Connnission to approve Rezone Request #R07-oo3, rezoning 1.3 acre tract from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC). ,S'/;p !o?
