The area immediately east of Wood Street between East Wall Street to the north, and East Worth Street to the south, is primarily zoned "R -MF -2" Multi- family District. Two lots within this area have been rezoned: one just east of the East Texas Street/Wood Street intersection was rezoned to "R -7.5" Single Family District in 1997 for the development of a single family home which was moved to the site; the second, located at the southeast corner of East Wall Street/Wood Street was recently rezoned (June 19, 2007 meeting) to "R -5.0" Zero Lot Line District for the development of a single family home. A review of the actual land uses within the area reveals a mixture of multi - family uses and single family uses; one large tract (the abandoned former Teamster's union hall building, Lots 9 -13, Block 103, College Heights Addition) received approval of an administrative site plan for a four unit apartment complex. The Ticknor Terrace apartments dominates the area east of Wood Street on both the north and south side of Texas Street. A 12 -unit condominium /apartment complex is located just east of the East Wall Street/Wood Street intersection. Six lots remain in the subject area developed as single family homes that are zoned "R -MF -2" Multi- family District. At the Planning and Zoning Commission's August 21, 2007 worksession, the Commission agreed to initiate an amendment to the Future Land Use map to change the property located east of Wood Street between East Wall Street and East Worth Street currently master planned as "RH" Residential High Density to "RL" Residential Low Density. At a subsequent joint worksession with both the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission on November 20, 2007, the Council agreed with the Commission's recommendation to amend the Future Land Use map; the Commission was also directed to reconsider in a future worksession the subject area relative to any rezoning that may be appropriate with consideration given to leaving the current "R -MF- 2" Multi- family District zoning in place for the Ticknor Terrace apartments. At a subsequent worksession on December 18, 2007, the Commission agreed to move forward with their previous recommendation that the subject property should be redesignated from "Residential High Density" to "Residential Low Density" and to amend the Future Land Use Map accordingly. No recommendation was made relative to changing any zoning within the subject site. Staff was available to answer questions. Mr. Joe Teakell, owner of 708 East Texas Street spoke against the Master Land Use change stating that he planned to build a duplex on his property. 011508 5 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JANUARY 15, 2008 In the Commissioner's deliberation session, B J Wilson moved to approve Master Land Use Plan MP07 -02.
