Planning staff outlines three rezoning cases scheduled for next week
Summary
Planning staff briefed the committee on three rezonings set for the upcoming Planning Commission meeting: a vehicle sales rezoning at 1601 Flat Rock Road, a light-industrial self-storage site on John Bragg Highway, and an amendment to the Mockingbird Estates planned development.
Planning Director Doug DeMasi told the committee there are three zoning cases scheduled for the next Planning Commission meeting, all in Commissioner Peay'as district.
The first is an application from Robert Timothy Holder for property at 1601 Flat Rock Road. The site is currently zoned Commercial Services (CS); the applicant requests Commercial General (CG) to allow automobile sales (DeMasi said CS allows repair but not sales). The applicant indicated the site would continue mostly in its present condition and estimated about 10 vehicles on site. Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously.
The second is a rezoning request by John Raiken affecting property at 6525 John Bragg Highway. The property is currently zoned Residential Medium Density and the applicant seeks Light Industrial (LI) to build a "stealth" self-storage facility; the packet includes a concept plan and renderings but DeMasi said the proposal is not binding and site-plan review would follow. The Planning Commission recommended approval (vote of nine for, four against, one abstention) after discussion about traffic, potential median cuts, and stormwater. DeMasi said any access changes on the state road would require TDOT approval.
The third is a planned-development amendment by Chris Rudd for Mockingbird Estates (Las Casas Pike and Mockingbird Lane). DeMasi said the amendment modifies the pattern book (bedroom minimums and unit sizes), relocates some townhome units to accommodate drainage and stormwater improvements, and proposes changes to access to create a connection into the adjacent Bora subdivision rather than a second Mockingbird Lane access point. Planning Commission recommended approval by a unanimous vote. DeMasi said staff and the developer worked with CUD on stormwater, and that traffic improvements originally approved remain unchanged.
The committee approved a motion to accept the planning report and to forward the cases to the upcoming public hearing process.
