#1 RZ01-24 Max Dacus, Jr. requested approval of rezoning from Residential R-2 to Commercial C-3 for Lot 1 of Dacus Replat of Lots 3 & 4 of the Eldridge Replat. The general location of the property is on the northeast corner of Johnson Avenue and Scott Street.
Glenn Batten, City Planner, informed the commissioners that the Land Use Map designated the north side of Johnson Avenue at this location as thoroughfare commercial. He further stated that this was a generalized designation and did not take into consideration the physical characteristics of individual lots and that consistency with the Comprehensive Plan is marginal. The lot is small, is surrounded by R-2 zoning on three sides, is an attractive entrance to a residential area and could be developed residentially.
Ms. Shaw stated that she had confidence that the owners would develop the property in compliance with city codes and requirements. She also requested that the owner preserve as many of the trees on site as possible to use as buffers between the commercial and residential uses.
No opposition was voiced from any in attendance.
Mr. Damron made a motion to recommend approval of the rezoning to the City Council with the following stipulations.
1. Show existing AHTD right of way on Johnson Avenue
