RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: (June 2025) Approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION: (July 8, 2025) Pending.
PLANNING STAFF: Approval.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The Board of Commissioners recently approved a rezoning from C-1 to C-2 on this property to allow for this and adjacent properties to the west to provide for a new grocery store and retail shops under the same C-2 underlying zoning district. However, since the subject property is not in the I-20 Overlay District and the adjacent properties to the west are within the I-20 Overlay District, the I-20 Overlay boundary needs to be extended to encompass this property in order for the entire project to fall under the same I-20 Overlay/Tier 2 designation. Staff is supportive of the I-20/Tier 2 boundary extension to the subject property to allow for the entire project to be developed under the same overlay district. Therefore, upon review of Section 7.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance (Initiation of proposals for text amendments), it is the recommendation of the Planning & Sustainability Department that the application be “Approved”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: (July 8, 2025) Pending.
