Staff report presented by Harwell. The applicant is requesting to annex the subject property with an
initial zoning of Residential Single -Family (RS) to develop a single-family residential subdivision. The
subject property is located on the east side of Shell Road approximately one third (1/3) of a mile south
of the intersection of Shell Road and SH 195. Currently, the subject property is undeveloped but is
associated with an RV storage facility. Generally, the area surrounding the subject property is
developed with very low -density single-family homes along cross streets and small civic or commercial
developments along the main thoroughfare, Shell Road. The low -density development in the area is
markedly changing with the approval and development of several new subdivisions. Within a quarter
(1/4) mile radius of the subject property, the Berry Creek Highlands subdivision will be developed with
a maximum of 1,500 residential units (including single-family and multi -family), and the Hidden Oaks
at Berry Creek is under construction to provide 213 single-family lots and it will also provide access

Blvd and SE Inner Loop intersection. The subject property has an existing Future Land Use designation
of Employment Center and is currently zoned Business Park (BP) and Industrial (IN). The subject
property is mostly surrounded by the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), which is generally
undeveloped. To the south are single-family homes in the ETJ on large tracts of land. The properties
directly to the north and east are in the City limits - a large data center, a mental care facility, and
undeveloped area zoned Industrial (IN). These are the only recent developments surrounding the
subject property.

Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 7 of 9
January 21. 2020
Staff report presented by Harwell. The applicant is requesting to annex the subject property with an
initial zoning of Local Commercial (C-1) to develop the property with commercial uses. The subject
property is located within the pocket of properties created by the rerouting of FM 1460 just south of
High Tech Drive. The subject property has frontage on the former right-of-way for FM 1460 now
known as Old 1460 Trail. Currently, the property is developed as a residence but is vacant. The
property is currently developed with a single-family home and detached garage. The house is listed as
a medium priority historic resource and the garage is listed as a low priority historic resource in the
City's Historic Resources Survey. The subject property is relatively flat and has several trees. The
subject property has a Future Land Use designation of Mixed Use Neighborhood Center (MUNC) and
is currently in the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and not designated with a zoning district. The
subject property fronts on to Old 1460 Trail. The character of the surrounding properties can be best
described as those properties east of Old 1460 Trail and those properties west of Old 1460 Trail. The
properties to the east are primarily developed with single-family residences and take access off of local
streets. The properties to the west are generally small scale commercial properties and either have
frontage onto larger streets such as High Tech Drive or FM 1460.
Jim Wittliff addressed the Commission and spoke on behalf of the applicant. He commented that there
is no intended use at this time. He was informed by staff that the structure does have historic
significance. He indicated that the space may be used for professional office space and other similar
uses.

Committee and the City Council, have drafted an Implementation Plan. The Implementation provides
an outline of the work needed annually to achieve the 2030 Plan. This Implementation Plan relies on

initiative).
