Blake Wilson, Stonelake Capital Partners (developer) on Behalf of Mansfield ISD, Ira T. Kimbrough and Andree E. Kimbrough Real Estate LLC (owner) (ZC#21-009)
Requested Action
To consider the subject zoning change request.
Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on October 18, 2021, and made a motion to deny the zoning change. The motion was defeated by a vote of 3 to 4 (Commissioners Axen, Gilmore, Goodwin and Weydeck voting No).
According to the 2012 Land Use Plan for Sub-area 2, low-intensity residential uses are recommended as the predominant development pattern. Encouraging industrial uses to the west of existing and future S. 7th Avenue would allow incompatible uses to encroach into areas that are either entitled for residential use or would permit residential use as a matter of right.
Staff recommends denial.
