Commission recommends rezoning corner of Thatcher Street and Woodlawn for retail development
Summary
The commission recommended approval to rezone an approximately 1.26-acre parcel at Thatcher Street and Woodlawn Boulevard from single-family to commercial to allow retail development; staff said the site is in a revitalization area and applicants will need to upgrade Thatcher Street and meet screening requirements.
The Denison Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning request for an approximately 1.26-acre tract at the corner of Thatcher Street and Woodlawn Boulevard to allow retail development.
Planning staff described the site, noting adjacent lots to the east are already zoned commercial and the parcel lies within a designated revitalization area. "Those couple of lots that you see right there, to the east, those are already zoned commercial," the planner said, and added that rezoning would allow the applicant to move forward with site-plan and civil engineering submittals for a retail space.
Staff told the commission the applicant will have to improve Thatcher Street to the property line for access and comply with applicable screening requirements between residential and nonresidential uses under the zoning ordinance. Commissioners asked staff about screening and the street-improvement obligation; staff confirmed developers were informed of the required improvements.
Committee member (S3) moved to recommend approval of the proposed rezone from SF-7.5 single-family residential to the C commercial district to allow retail use; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
No members of the public spoke for or against the request at the hearing. The commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action, and the applicant must address required improvements and development standards as part of subsequent plan review.
