PH-21-001                     HOLD a public hearing and consider an ordinance requested by Jeff Lackmeyer on behalf of Lorie Renegar (Case# FLUM Z20 02) to amend the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from a ‘Suburban Residential’ (SR) designation to a ‘General Residential’ (GR) designation for approximately 16.104 acres out of the V.

The City Secretary read the caption of the ordinance.

                     AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN’S FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO ADD A ‘GENERAL RESIDENTIAL’ DESIGNATION TO APPROXIMATELY 16.104 ACRES OUT OF THE V. L. EVANS SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 288, KILLEEN, TEXAS; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

 

Staff Comments:  Tony McIlwain, Executive Director of Planning.

The Future Land Use Map identifies approximately 320 acres of undeveloped property along the eastern edge of the city limits as being intended for future ‘Suburban Residential’ (SR) development.  Within this area:  approximately 273 acres are zoned “R-1”; approximately 32 acres are zoned “R-2”; and the remaining area is a mix of “R-3”, “B-4”, “B-5”, and M-2” (Heavy Manufacturing).  The majority of the undeveloped property designated as ‘Suburban Residential’ (SR) in this area is already zoned “R-1” or “R-2”.  City staff finds that it is unlikely the adjacent undeveloped property would be down zoned to a less restrictive zoning designation.  Further, staff finds that the current (SR) designation is inappropriate for this tract due to the existing “M-2” uses immediately adjacent to the south.  Staff is of the determination that it is unlikely this property would develop with large-lot, single-family residential uses.  Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from ‘Suburban Residential’ to ‘General Residential’.  The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the applicant’s request by a vote of 4 to 1.
