Planning and Zoning Commission approves several rezoning requests, forwards cases to City Council
Summary
On May 7 the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve multiple rezoning requests — including cases 2565I, 3546 and 3547 — standardizing commercial and industrial zoning and sending the matters to City Council for first reading on May 26.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on May 7 voted unanimously to approve a set of rezoning requests that staff says align property zoning with existing uses and the city’s future land-use plan.
William Lee Stockton of the City of Lubbock Planning Department presented zone case 2565I, describing a request from Hugo Reed and Associates on behalf of CRS Business Park LLC to consolidate several tracts from industrial park and heavy commercial into a single heavy commercial designation. "Staff has no objection to the request, and I can take any questions at this time," Stockton said. Zach Lopez, representing Hugo Reed and Associates, told the commission the applicant’s goal was "to create consistent zoning for the remaining tracts that are owned by CRS." The commission approved the request 6 to 0.
Jamie McGar, also with the planning department, presented zone case 3546, a request to change a property at 7806 76th Street from low-density single-family (SF-2) to General Industrial (GI). Walt McLendon, who stated his address for the record, described the site as a 72,000-square-foot warehouse-type facility currently used as a sports facility and supported adjusting the zoning to reflect the property's use. Commissioners approved the change 6 to 0.
Shane Spencer presented zone case 3547, a request from Parkhill for the St. John Newman Catholic Diocese to rezone a parcel near West Loop 289 and 22nd Street from SF-2 to Heavy Commercial to accommodate an Audi dealership expansion and related vehicle storage and servicing. A representative for Cavender, which is acquiring the property, said the use would be consistent with city standards for screening and buffering. The commission approved the zoning change 6 to 0.
Each of these cases will be forwarded to the City Council for a first reading on May 26, the commission was told.
The commission’s votes were procedural approvals of zoning changes and do not themselves alter property development; final action will be at the City Council hearing.
