Commission backs CS rezoning and Local Center plan amendment for Chevy Chase parcels
Summary
Bell Land Use, LLC (c/o Robert Bell) received an 8‑0 recommendation for CS zoning and a companion comprehensive‑plan amendment (CPA‑120) to change land use to Local Center for properties near Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and E 31st St N; staff concluded the change is consistent with adjacent uses and existing right-of-way.
TMAPC recommended approval 8‑0 of a rezoning (Z‑7821) and associated comprehensive‑plan amendment (CPA‑120) to change land‑use from Neighborhood to Local Center for properties north and east of the NE corner of N Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and E 31st Street N.
Staff said the Chevy Chase subdivision area is largely impacted by right‑of‑way for the Gilcrease Expressway and that the parcels are appropriate for lower‑intensity commercial (CS) uses consistent with a Local Center designation. The applicant (Bell Land Use, LLC, c/o Robert Bell) agreed with staff’s recommendation; no public speakers addressed the item. The commission adopted the staff recommendation and will forward its report to City Council.
The staff report cited development‑era context, traffic considerations and tree‑canopy preservation guidance; staff recommended CS as the lowest intensity commercial zoning district compatible with the adopted land‑use amendment. The motion carried 8‑0.
