The Killeen Planning and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on March 24, 2025. The commission considered four public hearing items: a comprehensive plan amendment, a rezoning for residential development, and two city-initiated rezonings to correct non-conforming uses. Votes were split on two items, and the meeting included public testimony from residents and property owners.
It takes advantage of the prevailing breeze. Good afternoon. And I'll call to order the City of Klein Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to order. Let the roll call reflect all commissioners are present except Luke, Commissioner Minor, and Commissioner Penana. Oh, and Commissioner Rowe. Thank you. And first item on the agenda is the approval of the agenda. Commissioners, can I get a motion on the approval of the agenda? Move to approve the agenda. Second about Commissioner Sabrina. Any questions, comments? All in favor? And it passes unanimously. Do we have anybody signed up for citizens' comments? Anybody for citizens comment? Okay. Next on the agenda is a consent agenda. CA one consider the minutes of the regular planning and zoning commission meeting of March 10th, 2025. Commissioners do have a motion on CA one. Hold a public hearing and consider a request submitted by Central Texas Development Services on behalf of RSBP developer incorporated Flume number 2502 to amend the comprehensive plans future land use map from a neighborhood commercial designation to a regional commercial designation for approximately 2.376 acres being lot one block two out of the Tremere Estate Phase 1 replant. The subject property is locally addressed as 5310 Tremere Road, Colleen, Texas. And I turn it over to staff. Good evening, Commissioners. First case 2502, neighborhood commercial to regional commercial. So we've just heard the description. We're holding the public hearing, and uh it's a request submitted by Central Texas Development Services on behalf of RSBP. The property is locally addressed, it's 5310 Tremere Road, Colleen, Texas. So Central Texas Development Services on behalf of RSBP developers has submitted a request to amend the comprehensive plans land use map from neighborhood commercial designation to a regional commercial designation. If approved, the applicant intends to submit a subsequent request to rezone the property to B5 Business District. So this is a location map giving you approximate location of the property. This gives you a the existing future land use map on the left and the requested future land use map on the right. You can see we're going from neighborhood commercial to regional commercial. This is a view facing south looking down Tremere Road towards Stagecoach Road. And there's a view of the subject property looking across Tremere. And this is a view looking across Tremere looking towards the existing residential homes. So a neighborhood commercial place type is predominantly a commercial extension of a traditional neighborhood. These places generally grow along with the neighborhood, and they're replaced along corridors, often with higher traffic roadway that serves on the edge of a neighborhood. These areas bridge pedestrian and auto-oriented development patterns. This place type encourages 100% non-residential and 25% residential uses. And staff is of the determination that the request is not consistent with the recommendations in the comprehensive plan. And staff is of the determination that the request to change the future land use designation of the subject property to regional commercial is not consistent with the character of the surrounding area. So here's a comparison overview analysis of what we're going. We're looking at possibly, we have a B3 and possibly a B5. So with the intent you're looking at local community focused retail and services. And in the B5, we have a high-intensity commercial uses. So under allowed uses, we're looking at moderate retail, food service, medical, and small commercial. In the B5, we're looking at everything inside B4, large-scale storage, mobile home sales, impound yards, and etc. So outdoor uses. So here we're generally limited or restricted in the B3, but under a B5, you have outdoor storage, impound yards, and kennels. So the size of the facilities is also regulated in a B3, where your storage facilities are usually 25,000 square feet and less.
