Background Information:
On February 15th, 2022, the City Council approved Ordinance 2022-10 (case no. AN-22-01), annexing into the City approximately 105.41 acres generally located due North of the Rattler Road and East McCarty Lane Intersection. The City Council also approved Ordinances 2022-11 and 2022-12 for a zoning change from Future Development (FD) to “CD-1” Character District-1 for approximately 17.420 acres (Case No. ZC-22-01, Ordinance 2022-11) and a zoning change from Future Development (FD) to “LI” Light Industrial District (Case No. ZC-22-02, Ordinance 2022-12) for approximately 87.998 acres generally located due North of the Rattler Road and East McCarty Lane Intersection.
The applicant is requesting an Alternative Compliance to deviate from the maximum cut and fill standards. The maximum cut and fill allowed is 8 feet per section 6.1.2.2 of the City Development Code. If approved, this request would extend the maximum cut or fill to 13 feet.
In order to meet the cut and fill requirement, the development would not be able to develop the intended industrial development with large buildings.
The affirmative vote of four members of the city council is required to approve this request.
Council Committee, Board/Commission Action:
On August 23, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the request by a vote of 7-0, with two members being absent.Click or tap here to enter text.
