• <br />Planning & Zoning <br />2/20/97 <br />#R97-001 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />LJ <br />ose: The applicant seeks to rezone his property to N.C. The rezoning <br />of the property to N. C. would allow businesses other than a beauty <br />shop at this location. Examples of the business uses allowed in an <br />N.C. zone would be drug stores, convenience stores, insurance <br />offices, eating places, etc.. (See Exhibit B) <br />Analysis: The land use of the properties adjoining Little Cedar Bayou is <br />identified by the City's Comprehensive Plan as proposed "Open <br />Space" . Open space includes landscaped open areas that are <br />within the public domain; parks and trails constitute the majority <br />of these types of land use. The City's Land Use Plan, which is <br />not a hard line boundary map, shows a transition from "Public <br />Uses to Residential" in the Little Cedar Bayou area. The current <br />R-3 zoning conforms to the Land Use Plan. <br />Conclusion: This request, if granted, would result in a tract 100' X 115' in size <br />being rezoned from R-3 to N.C. while blocks east, west,north and <br />south are zoned R-1 and R-3. (See Exhibit A) This is not in <br />accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and could be <br />construed as "spot zoning". <br />In reviewing the applicant's request, staff does not find the <br />requested N.C. zone is appropriate and the granting of Zone <br />Change Request ~tR97-001 would not be in accordance with the <br />City's Comprehensive Plan. <br />
