Background Information:
This request is for a zoning change from Future Development “FD,” which is the default zoning district for newly annexed land, to Commercial “CM.” Crestwood retail center exists on the property. The requested zoning is intended to accommodate existing uses within the retail center.
This request is running concurrently with an application for annexation (AN-26-01). The approximate 1.45 acres was released from the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction in 2024, and the property will be required to return to the ETJ prior to annexation. A letter of consent to return to the ETJ has been submitted with the accompanying annexation request.
Existing uses on the property include a restaurant/ grocery with on-premise beer and wine sales, two other restaurants, cleaning service, insurance company, and smoke shop retail are tenants within the site. While all of the abovementioned uses are Permitted in the CM zoning district, any new business offering on-premise alcohol consumption will be required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit.
The area is within the Mixed Use Low Preferred Scenario Place Type per the Comprehensive Plan, and Commercial zoning is designated as “Not Preferred.” Light Industrial and Multifamily - 12 zoning lie to the east, ETJ land to the north, General Commercial to the west, and Community Commercial and Planned Development District to the south. The property exists along a corridor with a mix of commercial, industrial, and multifamily uses. The Commercial zoning district is intended to provide visible commercial centers that enhance adjacent neighborhoods, making it appropriate for the area.
