Location map and City zoning Consent Agenda: October 24, 2023 Public Hearing: November 28, 2023 Recommendations Planning Department Planning & Zoning Commissions City Council Approval Pending Pending Findings 1. The petitioned property is identified as Lots 53, 54 and 55 of Square 2, Central Park Subdivision, Section A, contains 0.25 acres and is currently vacant property (Figures 2 and 3). 2. The petitioned property has: • No registered voters (Certificate of Registrar of Voters dated August 21, 2023). • Two non-resident property owners, all of which signed the Annexation Petition (Certificate of Ownership and Assessed Valuation dated August 22, 2023. 3. The petitioned property is 50% contiguous with the City’s corporate limits, sharing 125 feet along its northern property line with the Amazon Distribution Center at 1914 Town Center Pkwy, and 86.8 with property recently annexed along Spanish Court, all of which is zoned C-4. (Figure 3). PC & ZC Page 1 of 5 A23-04 & Z23-08 Distributed October 16, 2023 Prepared by T Alexander 4. The subject property is currently zoned Parish A-4 Single-family residential. The rezoning to City C-4 Highway Commercial is an intensification of zoning (Figure 4). 5. Adjacent properties are zoned A-4 (Parish) and C-4 (City) (Figure 1). 6. For the purpose of the Sales Tax Enhancement Plan, the property is undeveloped commercial or non- commercial that is less than 90% surrounded by the City with more intense City zoning proposed. The Parish needs to concur to this annexation; the Planning Department forwarded the request for concurrence on August 23, 2023, which has been set for public hearing before Parish Council on October 5, 2023. 7. The subject property is located off a major road – Coast Blvd and Old Spanish Trail. 8. The applicants propose to establish City zoning as C-4 Highway Commercial, combining it for development with properties recently annexed and zoned C-4 on Spanish Court. Other properties along Selbourn St are zoned Parish A-4 Single-family residential (Figure 4). 9. C-4 is appropriate for this location because of its location near a major arterial road and proximity to other properties with the same or similar commercial zoning on 50% of the property boundary. 10. City water is approximately 600 feet from the subject property south to Coast Blvd. City sewer is not within a distance to allow connection (Figure 5). Applicants understand any development of the property will be required to connect to the local water. 11. The property is currently in an X flood zone. The proposed Preliminary Maps identify the property within an AE 12 zone, which would, if adopted, require any development to meet the City’s flood ordinances. 12. The Planning Department finds the annexation is reasonable for the following reasons: • Possible extension of City services. • Configuration of municipal boundaries to fill in gaps, follow natural boundaries. • The commercial character of the area is needed for future commercial expansion. • Supported by the City’s Comprehensive Plan (FLUM Map, Figure 6) 13. The Planning Department finds the annexation and zoning map amendment requests meet applicable requirements and are appropriate.
