So staff is going to present the cases first and then we may have a five-minute recess or we may go straight into the original meeting.

Then we may present again, or if not, we'll just go straight to public hearing.

If you're here to speak on a specific case, you'll come up here.

You'll have three minutes to speak.

You may request an additional minute.

Just make sure that the microphone light is green before you start speaking.

Make sure you state your name, and if you're in support or in opposition, makes our minutes easier.

If you have any questions, you're welcome to talk to us in the back right there.

And just make sure you, if you speak, please make sure that you're signed up before you leave.

Any questions?

Okay, thank you very much.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I will now call the workshop of the Planning and Zoning Commission to order it for thirty-five PM.

I'll now turn the presentation over to staff.

Good afternoon, commissioners.

So this is hold a public hearing and consider a zoning request by Rachel Chanks on behalf of Quantum one ninety-five LLC, case number Z twenty six-13 to rezone approximately four point eight eight acres.

Lot one, block one, walnut Creek Estates phase six from agricultural district to be three local business district.

The subject property is located northwest of the intersection of White Willow Court and South Fort Hood Street.

And the applicant is requesting to rezone the property to B3.

And if the request is approved, then this would allow them for to allow the development of a proposed gas station and with a restaurant and retail space.

This is the location map, and the red star designates where the uh location of the property is.

A portion of it is inside the city limits, and then the rest of it is outside the city limits.

This is a view of the subject property from South Fort Hood Street.

And this is the view facing north along South Fort Hood Street, and you can see the um subject property as well.

This is the view facing south along South Fort Hood Street, and you as you can see, you can see one of the single family homes.

This is a view looking towards White Willow Court and the subject property.

And then there's the house to the rear.

And then this is a view of the property across White Willow Court.

This is a uh conceptual layout which shows the Sea Store Travel Center, and then the proposed retail and restaurant.

Let me see.

This is the proposed area for the restaurant and retail spaces.

And then this is the sea store convenience gas station.

This is a zoning map.

And to the south and to the north, it's agricultural single family.

And to the west, that's agricultural.

The subject property is located within the control growth area on the growth sector map and designated as neighborhood commercial on the future land use map of the clean 2040 comprehensive plan.

Staff did notify owners of nine surrounding properties regarding this request, and we have received two responses in opposition and one response that is neither in support or in opposition of the request.

And the red properties are in opposition, and then the one that's yellow orange, it's um it's the one that's neither in support in opposition.

And the opposition to this request does comprises approximately 32.9% of the 200 foot notification boundary.

So in accordance with the local government code, section 211.0061, and the clean code of ordinances section 31-39F approval of this request requires the affirmative vote of it of at least three-fourths of all members of the governing body.

Staff finds that the request is consistent with the clean 2040 comprehensive plan, and the proposed development is compatible with the plans vision for neighborhood scale commercial uses, um, and which are normally used by nearby residents, which is field stations, restaurants, and general retail opportunities.

Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request to rezone the property from agricultural district to B3 local business as presented.

Are there any questions for staff?

I do.

Um when we're talking about the screening, uh, because again, reading some of the opposition letters, a lot of it obviously is about drainage, very interesting configuration on how they all kind of share the same land mass.

Um what are the things that are going to be required when it comes to mitigation of water?

Um that's during the site development permit.

Um and I know engineering is here.

If you have, I guess if they can answer that question.

Yeah, if if that can be answered because it seems like a lot of the letters in opposition are specifically about that.

Uh yes, ma'am.

So during the site development process, the change in the drainage patterns would be evaluated.

Uh bottom line is that the new development is not allowed to change the uh regime of the flow of the water onto the adjacent properties.

Basically, you can't uh damage your neighbors in any way when you're doing a development like this, so that's something we would look at very carefully uh when we do if we do a side development permit.

Okay, yes, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Um I was gonna wait until the citizen portion, but if there is as apparently there's endangered horses, the an endangered species of horses are we uh I'm not sure if there's any state laws or anything for how close we can build to that.

I don't know if there's anybody tracking that or not for sure for that question.

Would that be for legal or sorry?
