This request involves 16.617 acres located at the northeast corner of Fairmont Parkway and Driftwood Drive. The tract is bound to the east by the Exxon/Mobil Pipeline Corridor, to the west by Driftwood, on the north by the detention pond, and on the south towards Fairmont Parkway. The applicant is requesting that 16.617 acres are rezoned from General Commercial (GC) to Low-Density Residential (R-1). The remaining .40 acres, with frontage along Driftwood Drive, would retain its current General Commercial (GC) zoning. Current zoning regulations require a buffer of 20-20-10 for all GC development adjacent to residential uses. Staff finds that the requested rezone will be compatible with the surrounding uses. Seventeen (17) notices of public hearing were mailed to surrounding property owners; one (1) response was received (0 in favor, 1 opposed) and is attached. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a unanimous vote, has recommended to City Council approval of Rezone Request #R 02-001. Options available to Council: 1. Table the item until a specified future meeting date. 2. Approve the recommendation from P & Z with a simple majority. 3. Disapprove the recommendation from P & Z with a % majority. Action Required by Council: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Consider approval of Rezone Request #R 02-001. Approved for City Council Agenda G~ "L~ Robert T. Herrera, City Manager ~- 1'L.6'L Date
