The Mayor and Aldermen approved this rezoning request following a zoning hearing at the January 4, 2018 City Council Meeting. The action being considered now is the approval of an ordinance to rezone 10421 Abercorn Street and 0 West Magnolia Avenue from PUD-B-C to B-C.  This is the first of three agenda items related to this rezoning petition (File No. 17-006664-ZA) as the petition involves multiple properties and districts.

The rezoning petition includes five properties located on the west side of Abercorn Street and both sides of West Magnolia Avenue for a distance of approximately 675 feet west of Abercorn Street. The addresses of the subject properties are 10421 and 10501 Abercorn Street; 0, 207, and 210 West Magnolia Avenue, in Aldermanic District 6.  The properties are requested to be rezoned from their current PUD-B-C, (Planned Unit Development – Community Business) PUD-IS-B (Planned Unit Development – Institutional), P-I-P (Planned Institutional Professional) to a B-C (Community Business) classification.

The proposed zoning is consistent with the Tri-Centennial Comprehensive Plan Future Development Map.

The petitioner/owner is desirous of redeveloping the existing new car dealership to include an expanded lot for car inventory and a storm water detention pond.  A concept plan is attached, which also includes the following three properties, which are not part of the rezoning petition: 10419 Abercorn Street, 215 and 223 West Magnolia Avenue.

On December 12, 2017, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the petition to rezone the subject properties to a B-C zoning classification.
