• • Page 2 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes of June 18, 1992 • The tract in question comprises approximately 14 of a 150 acre tract. If the Commission were to recommend that Council grant the request, this particular tract would be surrounded by residential zoning and thus deviate from the City's Comprehensive Plan. Denying this request would not interfere with the facilities current operation. Therefore, staff recommends denial of this request. _ Note: Twelve (12) notices were mailed to adjacent property owners. Two (2) were returned undeliverable and one (1) was returned being in opposition to the request. A. PROPONENTS Dick Gregg of Gregg and Mieszkuc in Clear Lake and also City Attorney for Nassau Bay stated he agrees that this facility has been a nonconforming use for years and the use did predate annexation and ordinance changes. The facility faces a private road, however, Canada Rd. does not run all the way through. One can enter on a public street off Spencer Hwy. and enter the old Spenwick-Place Subdivision but you cannot go all the way through to this property. This property must be entered by private road which the owner maintains themselves. To rezone the property at the end of a cul de sac is not considered spot zoning and is not disruptive to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Wayne Anderson had a question regarding access to the property. Mr. Gregg described the access route. Betty Waters asked if the company owned any surrounding property other than the tract in question. Mr. Gregg stated that the company did not own any surrounding property. Wayne Anderson asked what Trans-State Lines, Inc. could expect to gain from a reclassification, since present operation is not hindered. Mr. Gregg stated that the property owners would like to eliminate any uncertainty and would like to be made "a full class citizen instead of a partial citizen". If the owners chose to sell, they would not be hampered by potential buyers fearing the current zoning. Elizabeth Scott, employed by Gregg & Mieszkuc spoke in favor of the • reclassification.
