(VK)
Postponed at the request of the applicant to the March 4, 2008 meeting.
7. Public hearing and possible action on a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture District, to IN, Industrial
District, in the A. Flores Survey, 10.8 Acres, located at 2500 NE Inner Loop. REZ-2007-028 (CB)
Staff report by Carla Benton. The 10.8-acre tract is located on the east side of Inner Loop Road,
north of the intersection of Inner Loop and FM 971. Currently, the use of the site is a multi-tenant
facility housing a construction office use that would be permitted within the Light Industrial
Service land use category. The zoning of the property is AG, Agriculture, which is reflective of the
default zoning placed on the property at the time of annexation in 2006. The property is identified
for Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Plan and carries an Intensity Level of 2.
The subject application is a rezoning request from AG, Agriculture to IN, Industrial to
accommodate the current use of the site, and to bring the property into conformance with the
underlying Land Use Plan designation. As stated, the AG zoning district was applied at the time
of the 2006 annexations. The effect of the AG default zoning was to render the current use of the
site nonconforming, since the existing light industrial service use is not a permitted use within the
AG district. This application removes the nonconforming aspect of the use and makes the zoning
consistent with both the use and the land use map.
Chair Gibbs invited the applicant to speak. Patrick Baker, 412 Crosswood stated the concept is to
build a nice construction and will be glad to answer questions.
Gibbs opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward, the Public Hearing was closed
Motion by McMichael to Approve the Rezoning from AG, Agricultural District to IN, Industrial
District in the A. Flores Survey, 10.8 acres, located at 2500 NE Inner Loop. Second by Ratlift.
Approved. (6-0)
8. Consideration and possible action on a Final Plat for a Resubdivision of The Rivery, Phase One,
Block B, Lot 4, with a variance to the Subdivision Regulations for lot width, located at 620 South
I.H. 35. FP-2007-038 (CB)
Postponed at the request of the applicant to the January 3, 2008 meeting.
9. Public hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Future
Land Use from Residential to Mixed-Use, Commercial and Residential and the Intensity Plan from
1 to 3, 4 and 5 for 609.64 acres out of the I. Donagan and J. Thompson Surveys to be known as

Staff report by Ed Polacek. Mr. Polacek informed the Commissioners the 2030 Comprehensive Plan is
online and staff welcomes comments from the public. Workshop will be held January 7, 2008
Chair Gibbs opened the Public Hearing. Marilyn Seeman, 311 River Hills Drive concerned with the
rezone of an area she has lived in for a long time and was to remain a subdivision, but is now moving
towards to being rezoned commercial. The commissioners ask that she come back to the Planning and
Zoning meeting when the rezoning for this area brought forward. Marvin Dorcey, 801 Fairview Road
stated he is concerned with the changes being introduced for many land owners that will be annexed.
Mr. Gibbs closed the Public Hearing.
Motion by Ratlift to continue the public hearing for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan that is scheduled
for Jaunuary 7, 2008 Second by Lawson Approved (6-0)
11. Comments from Director. Bobby Ray stated during the last Tuesday's Council meeting staff was
directed to prepare an emergency amendment to the Unified Development Code to address
residential structures abutting non-residential zoning districts where there is no buffering. The idea
was to allow such houses to be considered for office use via the special use permit process. The
applicant at 1903 S. Austin has chosen to postpone her current application and track the SUP
proposal, which if approved, seems like a more appropriate approach.
12. Comments from Commissioners.
Motion to adjourn. Chair Gibbs adjourned the meeting at 7:20p.m.
