located at 51 Berry Ln (2022-12-REZ). Patrick Collins, Senior Planner
Patrick Collins presented the staff report.
Alternate Allen asked who owns the southwest corner of the property. Collins
established that it may be owned by Tx DOT or within the Right -of -Way.
Alternate Allen asked if a rezone to C-1 was considered during staffs analysis. Collins
explained that since the rezone request was for C-3, that is what was evaluated.
Commissioner Dickey asked if this project will need an SUP since it is proposing fuel
sales. Collins established that they applied before the City required an SUP for fuel sales
and so they do not require one. The applicant is proposing annexation in order to get on
City wastewater service.

Industrial (IN) zoning district, for the property generally located east of the 1-35 freeway
and northeast of CR 150 (2022-11-ANX]). Cesar Acosta, Neighborhood & Housing
Program Manager
Cesar Acosta presented the staff report. The Applicant is present and wishes to address
the Commission.
Alternate McGahey asked what the applicant's options are if this item is turned down.
Acosta explained that the applicant will be able to develop as they please since they're in
the ETJ, but they would not be allowed on City wastewater. Septic could be utilized, but
it would put limitations on their development. Utilizing the City's wastewater services is
the primary reason the applicant is requesting annexation.
Commissioner Dickey asked how much of the property is currently developed. Acosta
established that about 20% of the property is developed.
Vince Odine, Applicant, approached the podium to address the Commission and spoke to
the history of their company, as well as the current use and encumbrances associated
with the property. Odine displayed a potential concept plan for the property, and explained
the restricted uses for the site. They are working with the City to comply with the UDC so
that they may develop the land and have access to wastewater service.
Commissioner Stanley asked if this property will be used as a distribution center. Odine
commented that that is a possible option. Alternate McGahey asked what their other use
options would be. Odine established that there is an opportunity for indoor manufacturing
and metal work, and are open to feedback from the City.
Alternate McGahey asked where the TxDOT curb cut will be on the property. Odine
established that it would be on the northern side of the property and wrap around to allow
access from IH-35 and CR 150. Discussion on SH 195 and IH-35 intersection. Michael
Montelongo, Civil Engineer with the Applicant, approached the podium to address the
Commission and explained that the deceleration lane off of IH-35 is aimed at relieving
traffic backup in the area and would most likely not trigger the need for a Traffic Impact
Analysis.
Alternate Allen asked if there would be any connection or access to the Walberg Travel
Center. Acosta established that since annexation is isolated to this property, there would
be no connection.
Commissioner Dickey opened the public hearing.
Joanie Murray, 321 Prince John Dr., established that she was here with the Applicant
and is present to answer any questions the Commission may have.
Commissioner Dickey closed the public hearing.
Moved by Christopher B Stanley; seconded by Scott A Allen to Approve Item 2.13 as

2.0 2022-12-ANX - 41 AC Haverland
Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone
11.4 acres from Agriculture (AG) zoning district to Low -Density Multifamily (MF-
1) zoning district and to zone, upon annexation, 29.177 acres out of the Antonio Flores
Survey Abstract No. 235 to the Low Density Multifamily (MF-1) zoning district for the
property generally located at the intersection of FM 971 and Haverland Dr. (2022-12-
ANX). Cesar Acosta, Neighborhood & Housing Program Manager
Cesar Acosta presented the staff report.
Alternate Allen asked if the zone was changed to something other than MF-1, if the
project would comply with the approval criteria that refers to the Future Land Use Plan.
Acosta established that denser, single family unit are most desirable in this area, followed
by a neighborhood commercial use. By zoning the entire parcel MF-1, it would be
considered entirely residential uses, and the target ratio within the approval criteria would
not comply. Discussion on site restrictions in relation to the floodplain.
Commissioner Dickey asked how many acres of the parcel are in the floodplain. Acosta
established that 13 acres are in the floodplain.
Norm Ashby, Applicant, approached the podium to address the Commission and
explained that because of the site's restrictions, the only way to achieve the desired
density is for the parcel to be zoned MF-1. He is proposing single family detached
homes and duplexes for the site, and wishes to go through with straight zoning as
opposed to a PUD application. This will be a rental community on a single plat, with
access points determined at a later date by Engineering.
Commissioner Dickey opened the public hearing_
Eric Van Gorkom, 33 Freddie Dr., approached the podium to address the Commission
and commented that understands that the city must grow, and he supports this project as
opposed to a denser apartment complex. Van Gorkom believes a single story
development will result in less traffic on FM 971 than if an apartment complex went in.
Heather Feenel, 33 Freddie Dr., approached the podium to address the Commission
and reiterated Eric's comments. Feenel commented that she is concerned about
entrance and exit points, but has learned that those determinations come later in the
development process. Feenel is in favor of this project.
Llorente Navarrette, 229 Bastian Ln., approached the podium to address the
