ITEM NO.: 8.1 FILE NO.: LU99-17-03
Name: Land Use Plan Amendment - Crystal Valley
Planning District
Location: Corner of Hammond Road and Crystal Valley
Road
Request: Single Family to Mixed Use
Source: Ricky A. & Rebecca M. Caldwell
PROPOSAL / REQUEST:
Land Use Plan amendment in the Crystal Valley Planning
District from Single Family (SF) to Mixed Use (MX). MX
category provides for a mixture of residential, office and
commercial uses to occur. A Planned Zoning District (PZD)
is required if the use is entirely office or commercial or
if the use is a mixture of the three. The applicant
proposes to build an upholstery repair use on the property
in addition to a dwelling.
Prompted by this Land Use Amendment request, the Planning
Staff expanded the area of review to include the entirety
of the applicant's property to the west bounded by Crystal
Valley Hammond Roads. This change would recognize the
existing uses of the applicant's property (a residential
use and the upholstery shop).
EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING:
The property is currently zoned R-2 and is approximately
.43+ acres in size. The current use is an automotive
upholstery shop on the expanded area to the west. The
original tract to the east is vacant.
All of the land immediately adjacent to the applicant's
property lies in an R-2 zone. The R-2 area north and south
of the applicant's property contains large open spaces with
large lot residences. Manufactured homes on large lots
occupy the R-2 land to the east. Even larger open areas
fill the R-2 zone across Crystal Valley Rd. to the west. A
large CUP occupies the R-2 zone west of the applicant's
property for the Crystal Valley Baptist Church.

Further to the north, 0-2, 0-3, and I-2 zoning covers large
areas near the intersection of Crystal Valley and Lawson
Road.
FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS:
The applicant's property is located in, and surrounded by,
Single Family land uses. To the north, a Public
Institutional (PI) land use area lies on both sides of
Crystal Valley Road at the intersection of Crystal valley
and Lawson Road.
On June 1, 1999, a change was made from SF to NC west of
Sullivan Rd. on Lawson Rd.
On February 4, 1992, various changes were made on Col.
Glenn Rd. and SF to LI, LI& SF to I, SF to NS, SF to O &
MF, SF to PI, NS to PI at Lawson Rd. and Crystal Valley Rd.
MASTER STREET PLAN:
Hamond Rd. is not shown on the plan but is considered a
local street. Lawson Rd. is shown as a Minor Arterial
running east & west. Crystal Valley Rd. is shown as a
Principal Arterial running north - south and is part of the
proposed outer loop.
PARKS:
The Master Parks Plan does not show any existing or
proposed parks in this area.
CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN:
There are no city recognized neighborhood action plans in
this area.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant's property lies in a rural area outside city
limits but inside the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ)
line. A change to MX will introduce an intensification of
uses in an area characterized by rural residential
development. The zoning to recognize the existing
upholstery shop was not changed at the time of the ETJ
establishment.
