LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site is located in the College Station/Sweet Home
Planning District. The adopted Plan currently recommends
Mining (M) for the majority of the site and Park/Open Space
(PK/OS) for that portion of the site nearest the street.
Insomuch as the property is reverting to single family,
which it has always been used for and which is compatible
with uses and zoning in the area, staff feels that no change
to the Plan is warranted. A thorough review of the area's
land use plan through a neighborhood action plan is
anticipated in the not -too -distant future.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this 1.34±
acre tract from "C-3" General Commercial to "R-2" Single
Family. The property is occupied by an older one story,
frame, single family residence and a new, multisectional
manufactured home which has recently been placed on the
property. A conditional use permit application has been
filed in conjunction with this rezoning request to allow
the manufactured home to serve as an accessory dwelling
(Z -5057-A, item no. 1.1 on this agenda).
On October 18, 1988, the property was rezoned from R-2 to
C-3 on behalf of a previous owner to allow for construction
of a used furniture store on the rear portion of the site.
That development never occurred and the property has
continued to be used only as a single family residence.
The property is located near the city limits in the extreme
southeast part of the City. The predominant land use in the
area is single family homes on R-2 zoned lots. The
properties adjacent to the east, west and across Confederate
Blvd. to the south are occupied by single family homes. A
nonconforming barber shop is located on R-2 zoned property
to the southwest. Two small nonresidential uses are located
on I-2 and C-3 zoned properties southeast of the site. A
large area of mining property is located farther to the
east. Staff believes the requested R-2 zoning is compatible
with uses and zoning in the area and is appropriate for the
continued residential use of this property.

The College Station/Sweet Home District Land Use Plan does
not currently recognize this residential use. The Plan
proposes mining for a large area north and east and
Park/Open Space along Confederate and as a buffer to the
residential neighborhood farther to the west. Since the
property is being rezoned to its former residential
designation to accommodate its existing and continued
residential use, staff believes no plan change is needed at
this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested R-2 zoning.
