2.E 2022-21-REZ - The Garden District in the Park
Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone
8.66 acres in the Orville Perry Survey, Abstract 10, from the Residential Single -Family
(RS) zoning district to the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district, for the property
generally located at 903 Riverhaven Drive (2022-21-REZ) Ryan Clark, AICP Candidate,
Senior Planner
Ryan Clark presented the staff report.
Chair Perthuis asked for confirmation on what the long term plan for this site is. Clark
explained that the Applicant intends to rezone the site to C-1 and then propose a SUP to
allow for multi -family housing. Chair Perthuis asked why they are going that route instead
of requesting MF, TH or Duplex zoning. Clark explained that the intent is to rezone the
property to align with the area's goals in the Future Land Use (FLU) Map and
Comprehensive Plan, and then overlay that zone with the SUP to allow P&Z and Council
to place restrictions on its design.
Chair Perthuis confirmed that FM 971 improvements have already been funded and
asked if that improvement would've been included in the FLU map. Clark established that
the FLU designations show that FM 971 will be a future arterial roadway. Lua Saluone,
Transportation Planning Manager, approached the podium and explained that they are in
the process of bringing an item before Council to establish a contract for proposed
improvements on the road.
Rachel Lowder, Applicant, approached the podium to address the Commission and spoke
to the history of her and her father's company, and their goal of bringing more diverse
housing to the area to balance out the abundance of single-family homes and provide
housing for senior citizens, students, and first-time homebuyers. By proposing C-1 for the
property, this would allow more public parking and opportunities for small businesses, and
transitional zones to more diverse housing. Lowder explained that the concept plan for the
site includes medium to low density condominiums with 2-4 units each, and she spoke to
the Comprehensive plan themes they're trying to attain through this plan. The project is
intended to feel like an extension of San Gabriel Park and encourage residents to use the
area while providing commercial services that are lacking in this region. Lowder
addressed concerns expressed in meetings with the
Parkview Estates HOA and residents, including traffic on FM 971, public safety,
amenities, and the commercial/residential target ratio for the Community Center Node
designation.
Chair Perthuis asked how they plan to insulate the property from the adjacent
cemetery. Lowder established that they are keeping the landscape buffer and
potentially adding more plantings.
Commissioner Dickey asked how much the Commission can define what the applicant
does when they request the SUP. Clark established that conditions can be similar to a
PUD. Travis Baird explained that an SUP sets near exact expectations for what will be
seen on the site; a PUD sets standard, but does not tie the applicant to the concept plan
like in a SUP. Baird also explained that when the SUP is heard by the Commission, it will
require another public notice for the adjacent properties within the 300 foot buffer defined
in the UDC.
Commissioner Noble asked what the access onto FM 971 will look like. Clark
established that they have not yet finalized the SUP, but it would need to comply with
access to the property since it is a TxDOT road.
Chair Perthuis established that the topic being heard tonight is only the rezone request.
Chair Perthuis opened the public hearing.
Brad McGrew, 204 Gann St., approached the podium to address the Commission and
spoke to his previous experience of a property adjacent to his own being rezoned to
allow apartments and his consideration of that when purchasing his property here.
McGrew asked the Commission to consider the intent for multi -family units here, and
deny the rezone.
Desi (Desiderio) Roybal, 105 Stephen Ln., approached the podium to address the
Commission. Llorente Navarrette ceded his time to Roybal. Roybal spoke to the speed
limit on FM 971 and the frequent speeding traffic, and his concern for this sensitive area.
Navarrette is president of the Guadalupe Cemetery, and is concerned with the proximity
between these two properties, especially in regards to landscaping. Roybal expressed
his concern for the area around San Gabriel Park, and requested the Commission be
mindful of the traffic impacts in this area when considering this case.
Regina Watson, 116 Parque Vista DR., approached the podium to address the
Commission. Chris Hamilton, 116 Parque Vista Dr., ceded his time to Watson. Watson
spoke to the Parkview Estates HOA and her involvement with the City and residents
through the Housing Advisory Board. There is a lack of amenities in this area, but the
general neighborhood consensus is concern for increased traffic on FM 971. Watson
established that they are fundamentally opposed to any zoning change on this site from
RS - Residential Single Family and any zoning changes on FM 971 until improvements
are made on the road.
Scott Stance, 111 Parque Vista Dr., approached the podium to address the Commission.
Larry Olson, 9th St., ceded his time to Stance. Stance explained that he has been the
president of Parkview Estates HOA for 6 years, and he expressed his gratitude to Sofia
Nelson for her willingness to meet with both the neighborhood and developers to try to
work for a solution that works for everyone. Stance explained that his community would
like more clarity on the development intended for this parcel. When discussing the
commercial area, their concern stems from the scenic corridor designation, and Stance
does not believe that this project is in line with those gateway goals.
Jen Bradac, 106 Pecan Vista Ln., approached the podium to address the Commission.
Beth Blom, 212 Rio Vista Dr., ceded her time to Bradac. Bradac spoke to the increase in
the number of vehicles on FM 971 and the accidents on the road in recent years, pointing
to the risk for potential injury at the ingress and egress points on the property. Bradac also
spoke to the history of FM 971 and its improvement plants for expansion.
Chair Perthuis closed the public hearing.
Discussion on differences between SUP and PUD standards and restrictions. Discussion
on the property's proximity to San Gabriel Park.

Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to
rezone 12.75 acres out of Joseph Robertson Survey, Abstract No. 545 from Agriculture
(AG) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with a Low Density Multifamily (MF-1) and
Local Commercial (C-1) base zoning district, for the property generally located at 3225
Westinghouse Rd (2022-7-PUD) - Sofia Nelson, Planning Director
Sofia Nelson presented the staff report.
Commissioner Dickey asked about the buffer yards at the edge of the property. Nelson
established that there would be plantings, and the PUD requires fencing when buffering.
Alternate Allen asked how the PUD would enforce parking conditions. Nelson explained that
we are unable to enforce garage requirements in terms of making sure they're free and
clear.
Leah Bodder, Applicant with Brenner Group, approached the podium to address the
Commission and established that they are planning on keeping the existing pond and
trail along the westerns property line and include a fence around the property with a 15
foot vegetation buffer. Bodder explained that each home will have its own enclosed
garage and front door, and the amenity center will be open to the public, and spoke to
the continued efforts with Council, Planning, and neighbors to address concerns.
Chair Perthuis asked for confirmation that the streets within the PUD will be private
and only allow parking in driveways or designated spaces. Bodder confirmed, yes.
Chair Perthuis opened the public hearing.
Ryan Rudd, 824 Cade Cove, approached the podium to address the Commission and
voiced his concern with the 3-story townhomes, especially in the area near his home
because the topography allows the apartments to overlook his property. Rudd said the
suggested condition to lower the allowed stories seems helpful in addressing that
problem.
Zach Garcia, 421 Dubina Ave., approached the podium to address the Commission and
explained that his property shares a fence line with the lot being discussed, and believes
that multi -family homes at this location could negatively impact the community and
property values. Garcia asked this parcel be zoned as RS - single family.
Chair Perthuis closed the public hearing.
Discussion on height limitations.
Moved by Stephen F Dickey; seconded by Travis Perthuis to Approve Item 2.F with the
condition that the building height be limited to 2 stories in areas adjacent to the
neighboring properties.
