ITEM SUMMARY:

Overview of Applicant’s Request:

The applicant's original request included annexation and designation of initial zoning of Residential Single-Family (RS) district (106.092 acres) and General Commercial (C-3) district (6.755 acres) for a 112.85 acre tract located near the northeast corner of Southwestern Blvd. and CR 110. At the June 4, 2019 Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) meeting, the P&Z recommended denial of the C-3 zoning request. After the meeting, the applicant pulled the request for the C-3 zoning of the 6.755 acres. If the annexation is approved, the 6.755 acres will come into the city limits with the default zoning designation of Agriculture (AG). The request for 106.092 acres as Residential Single-Family (RS) has not changed.

The item under consideration tonight is to conduct the Second Reading of an Ordinance for the voluntary annexation and designation of Residential Single-Family (RS) district (106.092 acres) and Agriculture (AG) district (6.755 acres) as the initial zoning district designation, submitted in accordance with State Law. Action is required.
