The approximately 6.2-acre subject property is located approximately 3,000 feet north of the intersection of FM 306 (a principal arterial) and Oak Knot Drive (a minor collector). The property consists of a portion of a 41.3 acre unplatted tract, the majority of which lies outside city limits. The subject property has approximately 930 feet of frontage along FM 306 and is located approximately 200 feet from the terminus of the city limits.
The applicant intends to develop a market (Granzin’s Meat Market) on the vacant property.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:
North - C-1B / NB Parkway Storage (rv/vehicle storage)
South -R-1 / Undeveloped
East - Outside City Limits / Undeveloped
West - Across FM 306, R-1 / Undeveloped
ISSUE:
The undeveloped property is zoned R-1 that allows for the development of detached single-family residences on minimum 6,600 square foot lots.
The proposed C-1B district would allow for a broad range of office and retail uses most appropriately located along or at the intersection of major collectors or thoroughfares.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the following actions from Envision New Braunfels:
• Action 1.3 Encourage balanced and fiscally responsible land use patterns.
• Action 3.1 Plan for healthy jobs/housing balance
• Action 3.3 Balance commercial centers with stable neighborhoods.
• Action 3.6 Pro actively provide a regulatory framework that remains business and resident friendly.
The proposed zone change lies within the Hoffman Lane Sub Area near Existing Market, Outdoor Recreation, Education and Civic Centers and is along a Transitional Mixed-Use Corridor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
