San Angelo council approves planned-development rezoning for 2.68-acre multifamily site off Jackson Street
Summary
The City Council approved a planned development rezoning with an RM-1 base to allow modified setbacks for a proposed multifamily project on a 2.68-acre parcel at Jackson Street and Town and Country Court; council voted 5-1 on first reading.
The San Angelo City Council approved on first reading a rezoning to a planned development with an underpinning RM-1 base to allow modified setbacks for a proposed multifamily project on 2.68 acres off Jackson Street and Town and Country Court.
Aaron Vannoy, director of planning and development services, told the council the site has long been zoned heavy commercial but has not developed that way. He said the developer plans a lower-rise multifamily project and is estimating about 20 to 25 units, although the RM-1 underlying zoning could allow up to about 50 units before parking and other requirements are applied. "They're looking around 20 to 25 units because they still have parking requirements," Vannoy said.
Planning Commission recommended approval (recorded in the transcript as a 4–0 vote) and staff recommended approval of the rezoning with modified setbacks: 5-foot side setbacks and 10-foot setbacks along Town and Country Court and along the rear from Jackson Street. Vannoy said the project will locate vehicle access off Town and Country Court (a cul-de-sac), with no access proposed onto Jackson Street, and that the developer plans a stone fence along Jackson Street to mitigate noise and provide screening.
The developer must submit a drainage study as part of the plat process and will be required to provide detention within parking areas or other on-site measures as determined by the engineering department. One written opposition was noted in the staff background from Armstrong Electric, citing concerns about child safety; no speakers addressed the rezoning during the council public-hearing portion, according to the transcript.
Motion and vote: Councilmember Tommy Hebert made the motion to approve as presented; the motion was seconded by Harry (recorded in the transcript as the second). The council recorded a 5–1 vote in favor on the first reading.
Why it matters: The rezoning converts an underutilized commercial parcel into planned residential use with modified setbacks, enabling a mid-density multifamily development near existing commercial and institutional uses.
