PUBLIC HEARING
BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA15-06, CHRIS CLARK, 2905
MUSTANG DRIVE
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA15-06 submitted
by Chris Clark for property located at 2905 Mustang Drive, platted as Lot 1A, Block 1,
� Mustang Addition.
Section 43.E.3, Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning
Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming
use. The applicant requested a special exception allowing the existing apartment
complex to remain as developed and recreate 18 apartment units in an existing
apartment complex as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested
special exception. Specifically, the apartment complex, developed in the mid-1970's,
was in complete compliance with zoning ordinance 70-10 in effect at that time.
Mr. Stombaugh stated that when the complex was originally developed there were (18)
previously accounted for units that were conjoined to create larger living units that were
in high demand at that time and has since diminished. The applicant proposed to
"unmerge" them bringing back the original unit count.
Mr. Stombaugh went on to explain that in an effort to reduce the level of non-conformity
relative to the current zoning ordinance, the applicant had addressed areas that were
physically possible to address, specifically, the addition of landscaped islands
throughout the parking area (which were not required relative to Ord. 70-10) and the
inclusion of more property for additional parking that contained 56 parking spaces, 36
� spaces of which were required (2 spaces per unit) for the newly recreated units. No
"new" construction was proposed other than the creation of the additional parking area.
2 Board of Zonirg Adj &3/5
With no questions for Mr. Stombaugh, Chris Clark of 3929 Willowbend Drive, The
Colony, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the Board and
� requested favorable consideration of the request and offered to answer any questions of
the Board.
Robert Rainwater asked what the motivation was behind disjoining the units. Mr. Clark
stated, that larger units had less of a market demand and they took longer to lease.
Discussion was held with Mr. Stombaugh relative to the property being non-conforming
and clarification as to why they were before the Board.
With no further questions for Mr. Clark and Mr. Stombaugh and no additional speakers,
Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing. Mike Morris seconded the
motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, Morris
Nays: None
Absent: None
Robert Rainwater made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested
special exception. Specifically, the apartment complex, developed in the mid-1970's,

� Ayes: Holt, Rainwater, White, Dalton, Morris
Nays: None
Absent: None
Robert Rainwater then made a motion to grant the following special exception with
regard to Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures allowing the existing

structure to remain as developed as shown on the plot plan.
,3 Board of Zoning Adju Bm�,5
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the special
exception requested. Specifically, the existing lot was originally platted in 1961 prior to
�'" the June 1966 annexation of the area. The site was an existing developed lot, and the
`�''' existing residential structure was built in 1968 prior to the rezoning of the subject site in
the 1984 City Rezoning to "R-7.5" Single Family District. The site was noncompliant with
the current Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to the required 30-foot front yard setback
and the six-foot (6') side yard setback adjacent to the west property line for the existing
dwelling.

the property had been sold.
