Commission recommends denying rezoning of 1005 Pecan Street to P4
Summary
After the commission recommended denial of the future land use map change, the body also recommended denying the companion rezoning request to change 1005 Pecan Street from P3 to P4; staff said approving zoning without map change would be inconsistent.
The Bastrop Planning & Zoning Commission recommended denial of the zoning concept to rezone 1005 Pecan Street from P3 (neighborhood residential) to P4 (residential mixed density).
Staff told commissioners zoning recommendations should align with the future land use map; because the commission had already recommended denial of the FLUM amendment for the property, staff said approving a zoning change would contradict the community‑approved map. Commissioners agreed and voted to recommend denial. The roll call from the hearing recorded yes votes (to deny) from Christopher Toth, Keith Alborn, Jeffrey Estes, Jordan Scott and David Burrow; no votes from Gary Moss and Patrice Parsons. The recommendation will go to City Council on Oct. 21 for final consideration.
Commission discussion repeated many of the technical and community concerns raised during the FLUM hearing, notably drainage uncertainties, parking counts, and neighborhood character. Developer representatives reiterated that their preferred product is a for‑sale condo scheme and that under current entitlements a three‑lot minor plat could allow duplexes as a fallback.
