Commission recommends rezoning of 0.49-acre West 28th Street parcel to RD-5
Summary
The commission recommended approval to the Bryan City Council of RZ26-10, rezoning a 0.49-acre parcel on the 1800 block of West 28th Street from Industrial to Residential District 5000 (RD-5); staff said the future land use plan supports low-density residential and no adjacent objections were recorded.
The Bryan Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend that City Council approve rezoning case RZ 26-10, which would change a 0.49-acre parcel in the Stephen F. Austin survey (abstract 9) on the 1800 block of West 28th Street from Industrial to Residential District 5000 (RD-5). McKayla Dickinson, a city staff planner, presented the case and said the future land use plan calls for low-density residential in the area and staff finds the rezoning compatible with surrounding lots.
"The subject property is 0.49 acres," Dickinson said during her presentation, and staff noted that ten public notifications were mailed and no phone calls or emails were received regarding the rezoning. Commissioners asked whether the industrial zoning was historical or spot zoning; staff said they are unsure why the parcel was zoned industrial originally but noted adjacent parcels and the 100-foot ordinance buffer between industrial and residential make new industrial development on that narrow parcel impractical. Committee member S3 moved to recommend approval to City Council; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
The commission's recommendation now moves the application to Bryan City Council for final action. The rezoning is linked to a related variance request for the same parcel; staff and commissioners discussed sequencing and noted the variance final plat cannot be filed until the rezoning is approved by council.
