Planning commission recommends rezoning 2350 South Friendswood Drive to community shopping center
Summary
The Friendswood Planning & Zoning Commission voted May 14 to recommend that City Council rezone 2350 South Friendswood Drive from single-family residential to community shopping center, after the developer described a storefront-and-office site plan and commissioners confirmed consistency with the future land use map.
The City of Friendswood Planning & Zoning Commission voted May 14 to recommend that City Council change the zoning at 2350 South Friendswood Drive from single-family residential to community shopping center. Planning staff told commissioners the proposal conforms to the city’s future land use map and therefore does not require an amendment to that map.
Developer Adam Hill introduced the project, saying, “we're working on our site plan. We would have a storefront up front, and we're looking at some offices in the back.” He told the commission that, because of TxDOT right-of-way constraints, the development will rely on an entrance off Old Road rather than additional access from FM 518.
Commissioners asked about access and parking; Commissioner Mann said the layout made sense in the context of adjoining commercial frontage along FM 518. Planning staff (Aubrey) reiterated that the proposed zoning aligns with the future land use designation for that side of 518.
Commissioner Mann moved to recommend approval to City Council and the motion passed. The commission had no public speakers on the item during the hearing.
Next steps: the recommendation will be transmitted to City Council for final action; no City Council hearing date was specified in the commission record.
