Commission clears zoning change for Weatherford College parcel to allow parking
Summary
The commission approved a zoning map amendment to change a 0.36‑acre parcel at 1401 South Sloane Street to a planned development ordinance to accommodate Weatherford College parking, with a 20‑foot screening requirement noted by staff.
Planner Jamie Moon told the commission that Weatherford College is seeking a zoning map amendment for 1401 South Sloane Street — a 0.36‑acre parcel currently zoned for single‑family residential — to bring it under PD (planned development) ordinance 02/2012 for future parking use. "Future use is for parking," Moon said, and staff recommended approval of the zoning map amendment request.
Commissioners raised screening and pedestrian access concerns: a screening requirement of 20 feet was cited to separate the parking area from neighboring residences, and one commissioner suggested adding a crosswalk to serve the student housing across the street. Moon said the site is part of a future plan and buffers will be provided; the commission then voted unanimously to approve the amendment.
