Analysis
SUMMARY:
Consider a request to approve an amendment to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map to change the designation from Open Space/Drainage (OS/D) to High Density Residential (HDR) uses. The 5.42-acre property, zoned Multifamily-One (MF-1) District, is located at 1720 S. Carrier Parkway and is within the State Highway-161 (SH-161) Corridor Overlay District.
PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST:
The purpose of the request is to recommend Future Land Use Map (FLUM) revisions to reconcile the inconsistency between the zoning and the comprehensive plan designation for the property located at 1720 S. Carrier Parkway.
BACKGROUND:
The 2010 Comprehensive Plan and FLUM designate the subject property for open space and drainage (OS/D) uses. The current zoning on the property is Multi-family-1 (MF-1) District. Multi-family-1 District zoning equates to High Density Residential (HDR) uses in the Comprehensive Plan and on the FLUM. The property owner has requested the inconsistency be reconciled. The 2010 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on November 16, 2010 [Ordinance 9125-2010]. The Planning and Zoning Commission annually reviews zoning decisions, text amendments and other changes that impact the Comprehensive Plan.
Section 1.11.5.1 of the Unified Development Code of the City of Grand Prairie, Texas stipulates that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall conduct a public hearing and make recommendations to the City Council on amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Since the Zoning Ordinance is a major implementation tool for the Comprehensive Plan with respect to the City’s future land use pattern, the descriptions of the land use classifications for the Future Land Use Map include typical zoning districts that would most appropriately reflect such uses.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan to change the designation on the property located at 1720 S. Carrier Parkway from Open Space/Drainage (OS/D) to High Density Residential (HDR) uses.
