| CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: |
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), through the Future Land Use Plan and the North Schertz Sector Plan, designates this subject property as Single-Family Residential.
- Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives: The Single-Family Residential designation from the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Future Land Use Plan is intended to accommodate Single-Family Residential which is defined as conventional detached dwellings. For areas proposed to utilize a traditional neighborhood design the Single Family Residential use may include a mix of residential uses as well as limited commercial development to support the daily activities of the development. Additionally, in all Single Family Residential use areas, public and semi-public development such as schools and churches are encouraged as neighborhood focal points. Currently, the property is zoned General Business District (GB), which does not align with the Comprehensive Land Use Plans designation for the property. The proposed zone change to Single-Family Residential District (R-2) is directly in line with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
- Impact of Infrastructure: The proposed rezone would have a minimal impact on the existing infrastructure. If the zone change were to be approved, during the platting / development process the property will need to comply with all subdivision regulations in relation to water and sewer.
- Impact of Public Facilities/Services: The proposed zone change would have minimal impact to the public services, such as schools, fire, police and parks.
- Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The property is adjacent to single family homes to the north and predominately undeveloped land. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates the property as Single-Family Residential. The proposed zone change is compatible with existing and potential land uses.
|
| STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: |
The property is compatible with adjacent land uses as well as the Comprehensive Land Use. If the zone change gets approved, the approximately 31 acres will be developed into single-family homes with an R-2 zoning district designation for a proposed traditional neighborhood design that may include a mix of residential uses such areas of public and semi-public uses.
Due to the adjacent property being a single-family subdivision, the proposed zone change along with the alignment of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, staff is recommending approval of the proposed zone change to Single-Family Residential (R-2).
