Staff Recommendation
• Planning Commission recommended partial approval of the requested Mobile Home Permit, only allowing one year; and
• City staff advises recommending denying the requested Mobile Home Permit as presented.
History & Background• Existing Zoning: RS-1;
• Vision Plan: Neighborhood
• First permit approved on 9/1/09, in order to live on-site while building a home;
• Manufactured homes are not allowed, even with a special or conditional use, in RS-1 zoning districts;
History & Background• Article 12.500 = “A mobile home may be placed
temporarily on a site during the construction of a home.”
• In this case, no construction has occurred.
• Intent is not to allow a long-term variance; in fact, such a variance would be prohibited.
• Council & PC created a two-year maximum.
History & Background
• Hard to quantify if another two years will end in a different result.
• Provides an exception not available to others – all other lots in this zoning district are required to meet requirements.
• The permit becomes less “temporary” the more that time goes on.

Staff Recommendation
• City staff recommends approving the proposed zone change as presented.
• Planning Commission unanimously recommends approving the proposed zone change as presented.
History & Background• RS-1 – Vacant;
• Surrounding:North – OW & RS-1 – Vacant Land & Highway;East – CG- Vacant Commercial Property;South – RS-1- Residences; andWest – RS-1 – Residences.
History & BackgroundGeneral Information• Thoroughfares:
• Houston Harte – “freeway”; • South of HH, Ellis & Montague – “local” streets;• North of HH, Montague – “minor collector.”
• OW Zoning – integration for office & warehouse space with lower intensities.
• Expansion of existing OW zoning to the north.
Analysis• OW districts require complete screening of outdoor
storage;
• Thus, they are appropriate transitions/buffers.
• Vision Plan Map calls for a “scaling back of activity” that is “passive in character” at this location.
• Consistent with Comprehensive Plan.

Staff Recommendation
• Planning Staff recommends approving the proposed zone change as presented.
• Planning Commission unanimously recommends approving the proposed zone change as presented.
History & BackgroundGeneral Information• Combination CG/CH & R&E zoning;
• Snow cone stand, house on-site, otherwise vacant;
• Request to CG is much less intensive;
History & BackgroundGeneral Information• Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:
North – CG – The Cowboy ChurchEast – CG/CH – Commercial UsesSouth – R&E – ResidencesWest – R&E – Residences
History & BackgroundGeneral Information• Thoroughfares:
40th Street – “local” street;Grape Creek Road – “collector” street;N. Chadbourne Street – “arterial” street;
• Grape Creek & Chadbourne are built to accommodate.
Analysis – Existing Situation• Limits Development Potential;
• R&E and CG/CH are of opposing intents:R&E – very low intensity residential,CG/CH – very high intensity commercial;
Analysis – Proposed Zoning
• CG is compatible with Vision Map – Neighborhood designation;
• CG is compatible with adjacent commercial uses;
• CG provides a ‘step down’ from surrounding CG/CH zoning.
Analysis – Proposed ZoningCG (General Commercial)• Decreased intensity;
• Limited outdoor storage (currently unlimited);
• Current CG/CH zoning allows industrial services, vehicle repair, freight, some types of manufacturing & fabrication.
