Legislative Regular Agenda
Y. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone
approximately 4.658 acres being a part of Lots 1, 2 and 3, River Road Subdivision, and part of a 5-
acre tract in the William Roberts Survey, Abstract 524, from the Agriculture (AG) zoning district to
the General Commercial (C-3) zoning district for the property generally located southeast of the
intersection of SH 195 and Shell Rd within the 1900 block of SH 195 (2020-23-REZ) -- Andreina
Davila -Quintero, AICP, Current Planning Manager
Staff report by Davila -Quintero. The Applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property to the
General Commercial (C-3) zoning district to develop it with commercial uses consistent with the
purpose of this district. The subject property is currently located south of the intersection of SH 195
and Shell Rd, and it is currently vacant. The subject property is predominantly flat with little tree
coverage. There are no significant environmental or other natural features on site. The subject
property has an existing Future Land Use designation of Community Center and is currently zoned
Agriculture (AG) and Highway Gateway Overlay district. The subject property is located at the
intersection of two major roadways surrounded by large nonresidential properties that are
primarily located within the ETJ. Nearby uses along Shell Road include self -storage facility,
trucking company, and a church, as well as large residential lots (approximately 10 acre lots)
located further to the west. Further to the south there is single-family residential development
currently under construction. The Berry Creek Highlands mixed -use master planned community is
also currently under construction further north along SH 195. The subject property has an estimated
280 feet of frontage along Shell Road, which is classified as a Major Arterial, and 560 feet of frontage
along SH 195, which is classified as a freeway in the City's Overall Transportation Plan. Arterial
streets provide traffic movement through and between different areas within the city and access to
adjacent land uses. Access is more controllable because driveway spacing requirements are much
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 6
December 1, 2020
greater and, if safety dictates, overall access can be limited to specific turning movements. Major
Arterials connect major traffic generators and land use concentrations and serve much larger traffic
volumes over greater distances. Freeways and Tollways are controlled access roadways that allow
for the movement of traffic through and around the City. This classification includes interstate
highways, state highways, tllways, and loops. Direct property access is limited as access is not the
intended purpose of these facilities. Design characteristics of these facilities include multiple travel
lanes, limited access points, high traffic volumes and high traffic speeds. A Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA) will be required at tune of Site Development Plan for any development that generates more
than two thousand (2,000) average daily trips based upon the latest edition of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual.
The General Commercial (C-3) zoning district is intended to provide a location for general
commercial and retail activities that serve the entire community and its visitors. Uses may be large
in scale and generate substantial traffic, making the C-3 District only appropriate along freeways
and major arterials. Permitted uses in this district include, but are not limited to, general retail,
hotels, restaurants, and general office. Other uses such as activity center, bar/tavern/pub,
college/university, fuel sales, and event facility among others are permitted subject to specific
design limitations. Certain land uses, including automotive sales, rental or leasing facilities, require
a Special Use Permit (SUP).
Chair Brashear sought clarification regarding how the ratios are calculated. In this instance the 140-
acre base appears to contain too much right of way to be effective in measuring what percentage of
land use is actually available or achievable. Given that the land use analysis area being studied is
likely 50% or more right of way, what is the value of knowing the application's impact on the ratio
analysis tool being used? Davila -Quintero explained that in this circumstance the area within the
right-of-way was included in the overall acreage of the designation; however, that
acknowledgement was given that a large portion is located within the right-of-way. Ratio
calculations may be revised to exclude the right-of-way in which case the percentages would be
determined by the remaining acreage to ensure a balance of land uses is still maintained.
Chair Brashear opened and closed the Public Hearing as no one signed up to speak.
Motion to recommend approval of Item Y (2020-23-REZ) as presented by Commissioner Warren.
Second by Commissioner McMichael. Approved (6-0).
