The application is for a rezoning to C-3, General Commercial District, from RS, Residential Single-Family District in order to build two office buildings on the 0.997-acre site on the northbound frontage road of IH 35. The owners are Mike and Kelly Church, the agent is Andrew Dodson from Stanley Consultants. The property is located on the northbound frontage road of Interstate 35 between the current Cody Pools Office and Showroom and the Mac Haik Car Dealership. The property previously had a single family residence that has since been demolished. The property carries the Single-Family residential zoning it was assigned upon its annexation in 1987. The property has never been platted, but a final plat and site plan are being processed by separate application concurrent with this application. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from RS to C-3 The applicant is seeking the zoning change to make the site available for the development of two office buildings. The properties to the north and south were zoned General Commercial in 1990 and 1987. The plan for the property is to have retail/office development that is similar in size and scale with the adjacent uses along IH 35 and the surrounding rural residences. The intent of the applicant is to create additional office space adjacent to the current owner’s business to accommodate its expansion as well as provide office lease space.
