Staff report given by Valerie Kreger. The 1.44-acre site is located on the north side of Williams
Drive between Golden Oaks Drive and W. Central Drive. Until recently, the site has been used
as a single-family residence. The current zoning of the property is “RS, Residential Single-
Family”. The front half of the property is identified as “Office/Service” and the rear 0.727 acres
as “Residential” on the Future Land Use Plan. The Century Plan assigned both properties an
Intensity Level of “3”. The applicant is requesting 1) a Future Land Use Map amendment to
change the designation from “Residential” to “Office/Service” on the 0.727 acres at the rear of
the property and 2) a rezoning from “RS, Residential Single-Family” to “OF, Office”, for the
entire acreage at this location. This tract is also part of the Williams Drive Special Area Plan
Overlay District, which provides additional standards to allow the orderly transition of land use
from residential to relatively small-scale office.
