The property is currently undeveloped and mostly tree -covered. A golf course
and single family residences (zoned R-2 and MF -6) are located to the north.
Floodway, single family residences and undeveloped property (zoned OS, R-2
and POD) are located to the south. Undeveloped property, a bank and
multifamily development are located to the east (zoned C-3, 0-3 and PD -R), with
a large commercial development (zoned C-2) across Rahling Road further east.
Single family residences and a golf course (zoned MF -18 and R-2) are located to
the west.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Residential Low
Density (RL) and Park/Open Space (PK/OS). A proposed Land Use Plan
Amendment to Office (0) and Park/Open Space (PK/OS) is a separate item on
this agenda.
Staff is supportive of the requested 0-2 and OS rezoning. Staff views the request
as reasonable. Staff feels that the proposed rezoning represents an appropriate
land use pattern for this area. The request basically shifts the existing OS strip to
the north and west, adjacent to the existing Bretagne Circle single family
development and golf course. The OS strip will be widened to 100 feet adjacent to
the single family lots, and will be 50 feet in width adjacent to the golf course. The
proposed 0-2 zoning provides for an adequate transition from the C-3 zoned
property along Rahling Road to the single family development and zoning to the
north and west. Staff believes rezoning this property to 0-2 and OS will have no
adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 0-2 and OS rezoning.
