Title

Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance approving the original zoning to the C-1a (General Commercial - Limited) zoning district for 10.46 acres located southwest of the intersection of Gattis School Rd. and Westview Dr. (First Reading)*

 

Body

The site is located at the future southeastern corner of Gattis School Road and Arterial A (Kenney Fort Boulevard).  The construction of the section of Kenney Fort from State Highway 45 north to Forest Creek Boulevard is scheduled to begin in 2017, in order to provide an additional north-south route for the transportation system.  This will provide a route which will directly serve the planned Kalihari resort and conference center development to be located at the southeast corner of Kenney Fort and Palm Valley Boulevard (SH 79).  The site was annexed into the City on January 12, 2017.  Water and wastewater services will be provided by the City within 2 ½ years, as required by State law.  The pending construction of the new section of Kenney Fort Boulevard from State Highway 45 to the current terminus of Kenney Fort Boulevard at Forest Creek Boulevard will create a “hard corner” which is appropriate for commercial uses.  The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the original zoning on a 7-0 vote at their meeting on January 4, 2017.
