Council moves proposed West 95 rezoning to Jan. 13 with parking warrant changes
Summary
The council opened a public hearing on a rezoning request for a 7.398-acre site at 2002 S. Highway 95 to a planned development district (PDD) with mixed-use P-4 base zoning and approved forwarding the item to the Jan. 13 consent agenda after a friendly amendment to align parking warrants with the exhibit.
City planning staff presented a zoning concept to rezone 7.398 acres at 2002 S. Highway 95 from PEC (Employment Center) to a Planned Development District (PDD) with a P‑4 mixed-use base, showing a site plan that includes first‑floor retail and upper‑floor residential. Staff said the project was reduced in height following public input and that traffic mitigation — including a proposed punch‑through of Linden Street — was the primary public concern.
"Based on the traffic counts, a light's not warranted at this time... we barely complied with that, but we do meet that," the project representative said while describing sight distances and collaboration with TxDOT. Councilmember discussion focused on parking assumptions; members asked staff to revise the PDD warrants to reflect the parking shown in the exhibit (one space per bedroom for residential and 1 per 250 for commercial). Council approved moving the ordinance to the Jan. 13 consent agenda with that friendly amendment.
