HISTORY: There has been no recent development history on this 140 acre plus
parcel although a zoning case to rezone to PD was approved by the
Planning Commission on April 20, 2000. That recommendation was
not forwarded to City Council at the request of the applicant.

Item # 11 _ qT/~ ~Lg0
TRANSPORTATION: Freeport Parkway is shown as a C4D/6 four lane divided
thoroughfare, to be contained within a 110 foot right of way. It
currently does not extend through this property, hence the reason for
the plat.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant and developing duplexes; LI and 2F9
South - warehousing; LI
East - residences and commercial; SF-12, PD SF-7, HO-C
West - vacant; LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial uses.
DISCUSSION: This proposal is primarily for the dedication of right-of-way for the extension
of Freeport Parkway through the Duke-Weeks property. In toto,
approximately 10 acres of land are shown to be dedicated for this roadway.
With a r.o.w, width of 110 feet there will be ample room for utilities,
pavement, etc. required by ordinance.
A secondary commem relates to the ultimate development of this land once
the street has been platted. Planning Commission approved rezoning this
parcel from LI to PD in April. Subsequent to that action, the applicant
requested a delay in forwarding the PD recommendation to Council.
Provided the applicant understands that a final plat for any building site can
not be processed until permanent zoning has been established, staff can
support this submittal.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
As outlined above, provided the applicant is platting this property for the
purpose of dedicating the right-of-way for the extension and construction of
Freeport Parkway, staff can support the request. However, if the purpose of
the plat is to establish building sites for construction, there are a number of
additional processes the applicant must go through before the plat is ready for
approval. For example, the property has been approved for PD zoning by the
Planning Commission. Before any development could occur on site, the PD
would have to be considered by City Council. Assuming rezoning is
eventually approved, then minimum setbacks, fire lanes, landscape
requirements, site plan approval wood all have to be considered before any
development could occur.
