Commission approves rezoning of former multifamily parcel back to B‑2 community business
Summary
The commission voted to rezone the subject property (ZON25‑0007) from R‑3 multifamily back to B‑2 Community Business to allow future commercial development; petitioner said the property had been rezoned to multifamily several years ago in anticipation of apartment expansion that did not occur.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved ZON25‑0007 to rezone property from R‑3 multifamily residential back to B‑2 Community Business.
Emily Johnson presented the staff report, explaining the property was rezoned to R‑3 several years earlier to allow an apartment expansion that did not move forward. The applicant’s agent, Jimmy Gooding, said staff agreed that B‑2 was appropriate for the entire parcel and that reverting to commercial zoning would better serve development options along State Road 200 and nearby commercial uses.
Staff reported no level‑of‑service issues for public facilities tied to the rezoning and found the proposal consistent with the low‑intensity future land‑use category and compatible with adjacent B‑2 and B‑4 properties. The commission approved the rezoning on a roll call vote with Branson, Boudreaux, Carlock, Martin, McDonald, London and Lopez recorded as voting aye.
Why it matters: The rezoning restores the parcel’s commercial zoning to align with neighboring commercial development along State Road 200 and allows a forthcoming commercial plat to move forward under B‑2 standards.
