TMAPC approves office rezoning and land-use change to reactivate abandoned Yale Avenue site
Summary
The Commission recommended approval of OL zoning and approved CPA-126 to change the land-use designation from Neighborhood to Multiple Use for a 1.03-acre site on South Yale Avenue to allow adaptive reuse of an abandoned structure; votes were unanimous.
The Commission recommended approval of Z-7845 (rezoning from RS-3 to OL) and approved CPA-126 to change the land-use designation from Neighborhood to Multiple Use for a 1.03-acre site north of the northwest corner of East 36th Street South and South Yale Avenue. Applicant Hoby Ferrell told the Commission the site has been under construction for many years and is now an “eye sore” that has attracted vandalism and homelessness. Staff concluded that the site's frontage on a primary arterial and lack of neighborhood access make Multiple Use and OL appropriate and recommended approval.
George Perry III, a nearby property owner, spoke in favor of the rezoning. The Commission voted 11-0 to recommend the OL rezoning and approved the CPA-126 land-use change 11-0-0. Staff noted the parcel’s proposed reactivation as a professional office would maintain a compatible 35-foot building height limit and that any development will have to meet right-of-way and infrastructure requirements for South Yale Avenue, which is classified as a Primary Arterial requiring an ultimate ROW width of 120 feet.
