Commission approves rezoning and annexation requests for two Halltown Road parcels and a Broadway property
Summary
The commission approved three second-reading ordinances to rezone and annex parcels on Halltown Road and to consolidate zoning on a Broadway parcel; votes were unanimous on the Halltown items and narrower on the Broadway parcel.
The commission approved multiple land-use items in a set of second readings, including rezoning, annexation and a zoning consolidation recommended by staff and planning.
Planning staff described Parcel 01901400 (74.38 acres) on Halltown Road as suitable for HI-1 industrial zoning with available water, sewer and fire-protection (a hydrant providing 500 gallons per minute). Commissioners voted to rezone the parcel from A-1 to HI-1 and to annex the parcel into the urban services district so it can access sewer and other urban services; both measures passed by electronic vote 18 yes, 0 no, 2 absent.
The commission also approved Ordinance 03/2005 to combine C-1 and I-1 zoning for Parcel 019KB019.02 on Broadway into HC-1, a commercial designation that also allows residential use. That ordinance passed by a recorded vote of 16 yes, 2 no, 2 absent.
Planning staff told the commission that the Halltown parcel has a 12-inch water line and sewer access partway up the property; staff said those utilities support the requested industrial zoning and that planning recommended approval. Commissioners asked staff to confirm any potential impacts on water pressure for neighboring areas; staff said the water department was comfortable with the 12-inch line.
Votes on these second readings conclude the public-hearing stage for those items and enact the zoning and annexation changes.
