Regular Agenda
2. SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from “AG, Agricultural” district
to “RS, Residential Single-Family” district, with the condition that no single-family attached
units are permitted, for two tracts consisting of 0.775 and 11.655 acres in the A. Flores Survey
(A-235) to be known as Katy Crossing Subdivision, Section 7, located on FM-971, west of Katy
Crossing Boulevard. (REZ-2007-008)
Staff report given by Bobby Ray. The 12-acre tract sits at the northwest corner of the Katy
Crossing subdivision on F.M. 971 and is developed with an existing single-family residence.
Current zoning of the property is “AG, Agriculture”, which reflects the default zoning placed
on the property at the time of annexation in 1998 (Ordinance No. 98-76). The property is
identified for “Residential” on the Future Land Use Plan and carries an Intensity Level of “2”.
In March 2007, the City Council did not approve a proposed “PUD, Planned Unit
Development” rezoning for this property. The applicant is now requesting the conventional
zoning designation of “RS, Residential Single-Family”.

The application is a rezoning request from “AG” to “RS” to accommodate a residential
development, and to bring the property into conformance with the underlying “Residential”
Land Use Plan designation. With the “RS” zoning district, the property may be developed with
single-family detached or single-family attached units; however, the applicant has agreed to a
condition that would not allow single-family attached units.
Access to the project will likely be taken from F.M. 971, although a development plan is not
included or required at this time. There is a connection to the existing Katy Crossing
subdivision at Bastian Lane.
Chair Gibbs invited the applicant to speak. John Gavurnik, Gavurnik Builders stated the lots in
this project would be consistent with what is currently in Katy Crossing. Commissioner
McMichael asked how many lots would be developed on this property. Mr. Gavurnik stated in
the high 30’s to the low 40’s.
Chair Gibbs opened the public hearing. Suzanne Haygood, 507 River Bluff Circle stated she
hopes these homes will be enough buffers between each home. Harold McGraff, 801 FM 971
state he has a lot of land across from Katy Crossing and wants to make sure the lot sizes on that
property will be the same as the lots currently next to them and would like the property to be
rezoned as RL instead of RS to guarantee larger lot sizes. Anna Aiken, FM 971 thanked the
Commissioners for listening to the public and wants the property to be rezoned as RL and not
RS to guarantee the lot sizes be consistent with the lot sizes currently next to the property. Andy
McNally, President of the Park View Estates Homeowners Association stated he and his
members are concerned with the density of the property and lot sizes. He has some letters to
turn in from homeowners who do not want to see more than 30 homes built on this property.
Chair Gibbs closed the public hearing.
Mr. Gavurnik stated he would deed the lots the same size as the lots they back up to, so the lots
would be consistent.
Motion by Moore to approve the Rezoning from “AG, Agricultural” to “RS, Residential Single-
Family”, with the condition that there are no single-family attached units permitted, for two
tracts consisting of 0.775 and 11.655 acres in the A. Flores Survey (A-235) to be known as the
Katy Crossing Subdivision, Section 7, located on FM-971, west of Katy Crossing Boulevard.
Second by McMichael. (Approved 6-0)
