MEMO TO: MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
RON STOMBAUGH, PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2007
SUBJECT: LAND USE STUDY—WOOD STREET AREA - EAST OF WOOD
STREET BETWEEN EAST WALL STREET AND EAST WORTH
STREET
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the above referenced
area relative to current zoning, actual (current) land use, and future land use relative to the
City's Master Land Use Plan and determine their appropriateness and take any necessary
action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
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 multifamily uses and
single family uses; one large tract (the abandoned former Teamster's union hall building,
Lots 9-13, Block 103, College Heights Addition, circled in green) has received approval of
an administrative site plan for a four unit apartment complex. The Ticknor Terrace
apartments (circled in red) dominates the area east of Wood Street on both the north and
south side of Texas Street. A 12 -unit condominium/apartment complex (circled in blue) 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" Multifamily 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 workssssion with both the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission
RAAGENDA\12-18-07\wk121807.woodstreetlandusestudy.doc 12/121
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" Multifamily District zoning in place for
the Ticknor Terrace apartments. Given the age/size/location of the existing 12 -unit
complex along East Wall Street, leaving the current "R -MF -2" Multifamily zoning in place
might be a consideration as well.
Attached are four color coded maps relative to current zoning, actual land use, and future
land use as shown on the Future Land Use Map. Staff recommends the Planning and
Zoning Commission review the attached maps and consider the appropriateness of the
current zoning and recommend any changes if necessary.
