Background:
Applicant: Bill Richert, representing property owner
Owner: Margaret Couch Scraper, Trustee
Developer: N/A
Engineer: N/A
Location: One-half mile south of Houston Street, one-quarter mile east of 23rd Street, north of the M.K.&T. Railroad
Size of Tract 40 acres

Present Zoning: A-1
Comp Plan: Level 2 (Urban Residential)
BAZ 1960 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 40-acre undeveloped tract from A-1 (Agricultural) to RS-3 (Single-Family Residential). The property is located one-half mile south of Houston Street, one-quarter mile east of 23rd Street, north of the M.K.&T. Railroad and south of the Oak Creek South Estates subdivision.
Access to this property is limited due to the railroad to the south and undeveloped properties to the northwest and an industrial PUD to the east. Two stub streets from the Oak Creek South Estates subdivision will be the only access points to this property. Staff has suggested using the undeveloped property to the northwest as a construction entrance to mitigate concerns of residents about heavy equipment moving through the Oak Creek South Estates subdivision during construction.
To the east of the subject tract, immediately south of the Oak Creek South Estates subdivision, there is a plat for Oak Creek South Extended. This extension was part of PUD 204, which has not been developed.

Recommendation:
This 40-acre development has access only from Oak Creek South Estates subdivision which is zoned R-2, therefore RS-2 could be more compatible. However, based on the Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends that BAZ 1960 be approved, subject to the property being platted and construction access be provided from the northwest to County Line Road.
