Meeting: December 7, 2021 Staff: Jerry Millard, City Planner BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Current Zoning: C3 (General Commercial/Retail) Proposed Zoning: I1 (Light Industrial/Warehousing) Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) – Capital Metro Railroad South: C3 (General Commercial/Retail) – Existing Restaurant and Undeveloped Land East: C3 (General Commercial/Retail) – Undeveloped Land West: C3 (General Commercial/Retail) – Undeveloped Land Summary of Request This request, submitted by Tarantino Properties, LLC, on behalf of the property owner 15390 HWY 29, LLC, is to rezone approximately 10.0263 acres out of the R. West Survey, Abstract no. 643 from C3 (General Commercial/Retail) to I1 (Light Industrial/Warehousing). Should this request be approved, the applicant intends to develop one of the existing buildings into a brewery. 6 This rezoning will also allow the zoning to conform with the current warehousing use on the remaining portion of the property. The I1 (Light Industrial/Warehousing) district is intended to provide for low intensity, limited impact industrial uses, which may include office warehousing, wholesaling, product assembly and light manufacturing conducted primarily within the confines of a building. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan for the City of Liberty Hill (adopted August 2014), states within the Land Use Classifications (Section 3.7.1) that the Industrial Uses (I) are intended to allow for clean manufacturing or assembly-type industry, which can be compatible with commercial uses. Section 3.8 (Summary) of the Comprehensive Plan states that light industrial uses shall be along major corridors. This site is located immediately off State Highway 29. The property is designated as ‘Commercial’ and ‘Residential’ on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Comprehensive Plan as outlined in Section 3.7.1 Land Use Classifications. Commercial – For the purposes of this Plan, commercial uses are described together in general areas on the Plan. For the purposes of general land use planning, “commercial” areas are intended for areas of commerce. Within those areas, there are distinctions to be made concerning more specific classifications, such as General Commercial uses, Retail uses, Office uses, local (or neighborhood commercial), and Planned Unit Developments (known as PUDs). Residential – For the purposes of this Plan is proposed in nearly all parts of the city, to ensure a multitude of choices for single-family housing. Other uses which may be compatible with single- family use are: parks, limited public/civic uses, agricultural, and local/neighborhood commercial uses. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Staff notified twenty-two (22) surrounding property owners regarding this request. As of date of this staff report, zero (0) responses have been received in opposition or in favor of this request. All property owners notified are within the 200-foot notification boundary required by the State. RECOMMENDATIONS: The Planning and Zoning Commission may:  Recommend disapproval of the applicant’s request to rezone the property from General Commercial/Retail (C3) to I1 (Light Industrial/Warehousing) to the City Council.  Recommend approval of the applicant’s request to rezone the property from General Commercial/Retail (C3) to I1 (Light Industrial/Warehousing) to the City Council. 7 Staff finds that the applicant’s request to rezone the property from General Commercial/Retail (C3) to I1 (Light Industrial/Warehousing) is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request to rezone the property from General Commercial/Retail (C3) to I1 (Light Industrial/Warehousing) to allow for the property to be developed into a brewery and allow conformance to its current use. 8 Figure 1: Location Map Figure 2: Notification Map 9 Figure 3: Future Land Use Map 10  PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING TUESDAY - DECEMBER 7, 2021 2801 Ranch Road 1869 - Liberty Hill AGENDA ITEM 4.b Discussion and recommendation on the final action of the Stonewall Commercial East Phase 1 final plat being 10.691 acres out of the J.
