ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Ordinance Number 0428-22-ZON adopted a planned development for Castle Hills which included a concept plan and required a rezoning process for major amendments to the concept plan. The concept plan for this area is vague but indicates several lots or buildings around a cul-de-sac. Now a single mixed-use building is proposed. The base zoning district of General Business Two (GB-2) District for this area is not changing. A similar request was denied in August 2024. Since then, more information on sight lines, traffic, and community engagement, the primary concerns, has been provided. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial by a vote of 4-3 on April 15, 2025. Since the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial, an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of all members of the City Council is required to approve this request. The applicant has requested that the public hearing be continued to the May 19, 2025 City Council meeting to provide additional time to prepare additional details related to the site and the proposed project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council continue the public hearing to the May 19, 2025 City Council meeting.
AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS:
Richard E. Luedke, AICP, Planning Director
