History & Background• Elementary School;

• School use allowed by CU 11-17, which allows for a school at this location;

• However, zone change will create a more appropriate designation that will allow substantial lot coverage;

• With proposed construction, this facility will exceed the allowed lot coverage in RS-1;

History & Background• RM-2 districts allow up to 100% lot coverage, whereas

RS-1 only allows 40%;

• Staff is proactively working with SAISD to assess zoning of all school properties;

• This change will ensure a great deal of room to continue growing in the future without issue;

Analysis – Basis for Recommendation• Fits with Vision Plan - “neighborhood”;

• Lot located at a strategic entry point;

• Compatible with existing uses and area – schools are essential parts of a neighborhood;

• Buffer between Air Force Base and RS-1 zoning;

• Consistent with development patterns.

Analysis – Basis for RecommendationIn conforming to the Comprehensive Plan, this request meets the following criteria as outlined in ordinance:

• Reflects Development Patterns;• Meets Community Need;• Compatible with Plans & Policies;• Consistent with Zoning Ordinance;• Compatible with Surrounding Area.

Staff Recommendation• City staff recommends approval;

• Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval;

Downtown Development District• After examining a number of downtown-related

districts, the DDC recommends that the boundaries for the DDD be amended;

• July 26th – Commission asked for information about other districts in the downtown area;

Downtown Development District• August 22nd - consensus that the current boundaries of

the DDD should be expanded to include all property within each of the already-established districts;

• Suggested that boundaries be expanded to include some areas east of Main Street, south of Washington, and north of Houston Harte;

Downtown Development District• Oct 6th - Commission directed staff to prepare a new

and improved boundary;• Areas that were presented as part of other districts

should be included;• Two areas in Main Street District but not currently

included in the Downtown Development District: to the southwest of downtown and to the southeast.

• Include corridors of N Bryant, N Chadbourne, and N Main to West 14th Street; these act as “gateways” and bring traffic downtown.

Downtown Development District• Nov 30th - staff presented a final map incorporating all

the suggestions from the previous discussions;

• At this time, the DDC unanimously approved the changes.
