P Street West LL, Large Lot Residential Existing large lot residential lot at 11102 Bois D'Arc Drive East LI, Light Industrial QualaWash Holdings property The site is currently identified as Large Lot Residential in the Future Land Use Map (see Exhibit C). As a result, in order to rezone the property the city's Future Land Use Map will need to be amended to identify this site as Large Lot Residential. The previous item on the agenda represents this request. Notification Requirements: Staff finds that the public hearing notification requirements outlined in Section 106-171 were performed in accordance with code provisions, including the following: notice in a newspaper of general circulation at least 15 days prior to the hearing; written notice mailed to owners of real property within 200 feet of the site within 10 days of the hearing and in this case notice was sent to all property owners and residents within the rezoning area; 4 signs were posted in the area of the rezoning within 15 days of the hearing. In accordance with state law, notice of the public hearing was also posted at City Hall and on the City's website. Analysis: Analysis: There are a number of different considerations staff evaluated during the review of this application. The following describes staff's analysis of those considerations: 1. Land Use. The subject site is currently zoned LL, Large Lot Residential, and the City's adopted Future Land Use Map identifies it as Large Lot Residential. The applicant seeks to have the subject property rezoned from LL (Large Lot Residential) to LI (Light Industrial) for the purpose of constructing a lay down/storage lot. There are a number of physical constraints associated with the site that warrant consideration for the proposed rezone. The location of the F101- 80-00 drainage channel located parallel to the west and south property line of the subject site provide a physical constraint that, in effect, limits access to the parcel to develop as a large lot residential use. 2. Access. Although the subject site is adjacent to a public right-of-way to the west (a continuation of Bois D'Arc Drive), that R.O.W. is currently being utilized as a significant drainage channel. Because of this, access to the site to develop as a large lot residential use would be costly and very difficult; requiring culverting of the channel and/or construction of a bridge. Staff finds that access to the adjacent industrial parcels to the north would be more reasonable.
