4.A. Consider approval of the minutes from the July 6, 2026 regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

[4.B. Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning 2025-182-Z Rezoning of 9.23 acres of land, being an unplatted tract of land and a portion of Lot 1, Block 1, Sunrise Park Unit No. 13, an addition to the City of Amarillo, in Section 106, Block 2, A.B.& M. Survey, Potter County, Texas, plus one-half of all bounding streets, alleys, and public ways, to change from Light Commercial District and Residential District 2 to Planned Development District for an RV Park. (VICINITY: Sunrise Dr. & SE 14th Ave.; APPLICANT/S: Furman Land Surveyors, Inc. for Big Texan Land Holding LLC and Galaxy Catering, Inc.)]

THIS IS THE REZONING OF 9.23 ACRES OF LAND. THIS IS AN UNPLANNED TRACT LAND IN A PORTION OF LOT ONE, BLOCK ONE, SUNRISE PARK, UNIT 13. THIS IS LOCATED IN POTTER COUNTY, TEXAS, IN THE VICINITY OF SUNRISE DRIVE AND SOUTHEAST 14TH AVENUE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE FROM LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 2.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR AN RV PARK AND THE APPLICANT IS FIRM AND LAND SURVEYORS, INC.

FOR BIG TEXAN LAND HOLDINGS LLC AND GALAXY CATERING INCORPORATED.

THE PROPOSED RV PARK IS PROPOSED TO CONTAIN 131 RV SPACES, IN ADDITION TO A PARK SPACE AND A COMMON AREA BUILDING THAT WILL CONTAIN THE BATHROOMS, LAUNDRY, AND SHOWER FACILITIES. REGARDING THE CITY PLAN 2045 PLACE TYPE, IT IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS BEING WITHIN THE MANUFACTURING AND LOGISTICS PLACE TYPE. THE APPLICANT, THIS IS A PROPOSED EXPANSION OF THE BIG TEXAN RV PARK THAT IS LOCATED WEST OF THE PROPERTY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SUNRISE. AND WHILE MOST OF THE PROPERTY IS ZONED LIKE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR THIS USE, THE STRIP OF PROPERTY THAT IS ALONG SOUTHEAST 14TH IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TWO, AND THAT STRIP IS APPROXIMATELY 110FT DEEP.

THE NOTICE STRIP OF PROPERTY AT ONE TIME WAS LIKELY INTENDED TO DEVELOP A SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, BUT NEVER DID. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT, STAFF BELIEVED THAT IN ORDER TO ENSURE PROPER COMPATIBILITY WITH THE NEIGHBORING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IT WAS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE APPLICANT TO SUBMIT FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH ASSOCIATED SITE PLAN VERSUS LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ZONING.

THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND ASSOCIATED SITE PLAN ALSO GAVE STAFF AN OPPORTUNITY TO NEGOTIATE SITE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS WITH THE APPLICANT THAT WOULD MAKE THE SITE MORE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THE AREA.

AND THE MAJOR ITEMS OF NOTE REGARDING THAT DISCUSSION INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING.

THE RV SPACES ARE TO BE SET BACK A MINIMUM OF 15FT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE ALONG SOUTHEAST 14TH AVENUE AND SUNRISE DRIVE.

A SCREENING FENCE IS TO BE PROVIDED ALONG THE JUST MENTIONED FRONTAGES.

ADDITIONALLY, THE GATE ON THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE IS ALSO TO BE FOR FIRE ACCESS ONLY AND WILL BE SOLID AS WELL TO ORDER TO PREVENT LIGHT FROM

[00:05:01]

SPILLING OVER ACROSS THE STREET INTO THOSE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, A MINIMUM TEN FOOT WIDE STRIP OF LANDSCAPING AND ASSOCIATED TREES ARE TO BE PROVIDED OUTSIDE THE FENCE ADJACENT TO THE SIDEWALK ALONG THE WEST AND NORTH FRONTAGE AND THE PARK AMENITIES ARE LOCATED AT THE SOUTH END OF THE PROPERTY, AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. THAT COMMON BUILDING WITH THOSE ASSOCIATED FACILITIES.

THESE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS WERE NEGOTIATED BETWEEN STAFF AND THE DEVELOPER AND ARE INCLUDED ON THE SITE PLAN.

THE SITE PLAN IS AN EXHIBIT OF THE REZONING ORDINANCE AND WOULD REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT OR IF CHANGES WERE PROPOSED, THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. AND THE USES ARE LIMITED TO THOSE ALLOWED WITHIN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TWO OR THE RV PARK, OR ANY OTHER USE WOULD REQUIRE ZONING CHANGE.

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, THE RV PARK IS TO COMPLY WITH THE TYPICAL CITY STANDARDS OF RV PARK, PER THE CITY'S ORDINANCE AND THE SITE PLAN AS REVIEWED BY THE CITY DEPARTMENTS AND WAS FOUND TO BE IN GOOD ORDER.

WHILE NOT A PART OF THIS REZONING REQUEST, THE DEVELOPER WILL ALSO HAVE TO COMPLETE A DRAINAGE STUDY AND PLOT THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO A BUILDING PERMIT BEING ISSUED.

REGARDING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND ZONING PATTERNS IN THE AREA.

STAFF NOTES THAT PRIOR TO THE CHANGE, A SITUATION EXISTED IN WHICH LIGHT COMMERCIAL WOULD POTENTIALLY BACK DIRECTLY UPON RESIDENTIAL USES, POTENTIALLY CREATING A SITUATION OF INCOMPATIBLE LAND USES BEING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER.

WITH THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN, A STREET WILL SEPARATE THE PROPOSED RV PARK FROM THE HOMES ACROSS THE STREET AND ADDITIONALLY, A SETBACK, LANDSCAPE, BUFFER AND SCREENING FENCE HAS ALSO NOW BEEN INCORPORATED, ALONG WITH USE RESTRICTIONS THAT WILL KEEP THIS PROPERTY EITHER RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE OR AN RV PARK. THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN ALSO PUSHES THE POTENTIAL USES THAT ARE ALLOWED IN LIGHT COMMERCIAL FURTHER SOUTH, CLOSER TO THE I-40 AND AWAY FROM SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH THIS PROPOSAL.

WHILE THE USE TECHNICALLY DOESN'T COMPLY WITH THE PLACE TYPE FOR THE AREA, MANUFACTURING LOGISTICS STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE USE, GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THIS PROPERTY, IS ACTUALLY MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA THAN AN INDUSTRIAL OR MANUFACTURING TYPE LAND USE. THIS AREA I WILL NOTE, WILL LIKELY LOOK AT THIS IN THE FUTURE FOR A PLACE TYPE AMENDMENT.

GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THIS AREA, THAT MANUFACTURING AND LOGISTICS CATEGORY REALLY DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.

SO JUST TO NOTE THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS AREA.

GIVEN THOSE ABOVE FACTORS STAFF IS OF THE OPINION THAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED A SITE PLAN THAT INCORPORATES ENHANCED DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WILL MITIGATE IMPACTS ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, AND WOULD ALSO HELP CREATE A ZONING TRANSITION FROM THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH ALONG I-40.

THAT IS IDEAL, AND AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE CURRENT ZONING PATTERN THAT IS FOUND IN THIS AREA.

REGARDING PUBLIC COMMENT, WE DID RECEIVE ONE PHONE CALL ON THE REQUEST.

THAT INDIVIDUAL LEFT A VOICEMAIL WITH OUR OFFICES OR WITH OUR OFFICE, AND WE ATTEMPTED TO REACH BACK OUT TO THEM AND WERE NEVER ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT.

SO JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT WE DID RECEIVE A CALL, BUT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL PRIOR TO THE MEETING TODAY.

WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY.

THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY IN OUR AUDIENCE TODAY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT, COME ON UP TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND WHETHER YOU LIVE IN THE CITY LIMITS, PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS CESAR VILLA.

I LIVE OFF OF 6107, RIGHT OFF THE CORNER ON 14TH STREET AT THE VERY END.

I'M AGAINST THE PROPOSITION HERE. MORE ON MY KIDS SAFETY.

I THINK JUST MORE TRAFFIC, MORE PEOPLE FROM OUT OF TOWN ARE GOING TO BE INCLINING TO OUR AREA AROUND OVER THERE.

KIND OF A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THAT. I'VE WORKED IN THE OIL FIELD IN THE PAST.

I KIND OF KNOW WHAT RVS LOOK LIKE IN GENERAL.

NOT TO SAY THAT IT'S BAD OR IN BETWEEN. BUT I DO NOTICE MORE ON I DO HAVE THREE YOUNG BOYS THAT RIDE OUT ON THE BIKES ALL DAY.

AND I FEEL THAT MORE ON THE SAFETY SIDE AND ALSO DEVALUING OR PROPERTY IN A WAY.

NOBODY WANTS TO BE NEXT TO AN RV PARK OR A MOBILE HOME FOR THE SAME REASON OF WHAT I JUST MENTIONED.

BUT ONCE EVERYTHING GOES THROUGH, THEN I'LL DO THE FORMAL FILLING OUT THE PAPERWORK AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THAT'S OUR GUY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE. COMMISSIONERS DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I DO, AND IT'S PROBABLY ON HERE.

[00:10:02]

IT DOES LOOK LIKE THERE'S AN ENTRY POINT OFF OF 14TH.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES. THE ENTRANCE TO THE NORTH THERE IS GOING TO BE A FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS ONLY POINT.

SO THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE RVS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT NORTH ENTRANCE THAT WAS JUST THE MEET FIRE CODE REQUIREMENTS.

ALL THE OTHER USERS OF THIS PARK WILL ENTER OFF OF SUNRISE AND LOOP THROUGH THE SITE AND EXIT OUT THROUGH SUNRISE IS THE WAY THAT IT'S DESIGNED, AND THAT NORTH ENTRANCE WILL HAVE A SOLID GATE AND A KNOX LOCK BOX FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STAFF ALSO AGREED THAT WE DID NOT WANT TO INCREASE THE TRAFFIC ON 14TH ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS SITE.

SO THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE ABLE TO DISCUSS WITH THE APPLICANT'S AGENT AND COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON.

AND THE CITIZEN COMMENTER THAT WE JUST HEARD FROM, IF I LIVED IN HIS HOME AND I'M LOOKING OUT AT THE PROJECT.

I WILL SEE A PRIVACY FENCE OR A BARRIER FENCE AND SOME LANDSCAPING.

YES. SOME GREEN LANDSCAPING OR XERISCAPE. YEAH, WE'LL GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN HERE.

SO THERE WILL BE A SOLID SIX FOOT TALL SCREENING FENCE.

AND PER THE CITY'S DEFINITION, THAT'S A WOOD MASONRY OR COMBINATION OF BOTH.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, WE TALKED TO THE APPLICANT THAT WE WANTED THE LANDSCAPING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE.

THAT WAY IT WAS VISIBLE FROM THE NEIGHBORS AND THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THEY'LL BE LIVING LANDSCAPE GRASS AND TREES.

SO THAT'S WHAT IS PROPOSED. SO IT'LL LOOK LIKE A LITTLE STRIP PARK KIND OF THING ACROSS THE STREET.

YEP. BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THAT FENCE, IT'S A MINIMUM OF TEN FEET OF LANDSCAPING THAT IS BEING PROPOSED WITH THIS LAYOUT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM. ANYBODY ELSE? I JUST GOT ONE.

SO THE WAY YOU GOT IT DOWN THERE. THERE WILL BE NO.

DICK COULD YOU USE YOUR MIC, PLEASE? I APOLOGIZE.

NO PROBLEM. WELL, YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG. UNLESS THE GUY GETS LOST, THERE'S GOING TO BE NO RV TRAFFIC ON SOUTHEAST 14TH STREET.

THAT'S CORRECT. NOW WE CAN'T ULTIMATELY CONTROL HOW PEOPLE ULTIMATELY GET THROUGH THERE, BUT WE WERE HOPING WITH THIS DESIGN THAT WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PRIMARILY USE THE ACCESS ROAD AND SUNRISE. SO THAT WAS THE, THAT WAY WITHOUT THE ENTRANCE ON 14TH THERE TO THE NORTH.

HOPEFULLY WE MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE THE POSSIBLE.

WE CAN'T GUARANTEE IT'D BE ZERO, BUT HOPEFULLY WE REALLY DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE PROBABILITY OF PEOPLE COMING DOWN 14TH BY NOT ALLOWING THE RENTERS OF SPACES IN THE PARK FROM BEING ABLE TO USE THE 14TH AVENUE ENTRANCE.

THANKS. I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE WEST SIDE OF SUNRISE.

IS THAT CURRENTLY AN RV PARK OR IS IT A MANUFACTURED HOME FACILITY? WHAT IS THAT? THAT IS THE BIG TEXAN RV PARK THAT IS, I KNOW THEY HAVE THE LITTLE CABINS AND THE WAGONS OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE CAN RENT, BUT IT'S PRIMARILY RVS THOUGH, AND, AND ASSOCIATED OFFICE BUILDING FOR THE RV PARK AND THOSE COMMON FACILITIES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? IF NOT DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE TO APPROVE MY STAFF. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. THANK YOU DICK.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU NOAH.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAY AYE.

AYE. MOTION IS APPROVED. ITEM 4C, BRADY.

[4.C. Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning 2026-19-Z Rezoning the following: All of Block 164 except the north 60 feet of Lot 4, all of Block 165 & 166, all of Blocks 183 through 186, all of Block 194, the remaining portion of Lot 1 and all of Lots 3 & 4, Block 195, and all of Block 196, Plemons’s Addition; All of Block 194, Amended Plemons Addition Unit No. 10; all of Block 192, Plemons Addition Unit No. 25; plus vacated public rights-of-way; all of the just mentioned are additions to the City of Amarillo and are located within Section 170, Block 2, A.B.& M. Survey, Potter County, Texas. The above plus one-half of all bounding streets, alleys, and public ways are proposed to be rezoned from Planned Development District 130, Planned Development District 120A, and Multiple-Family District 2 to Planned Development District for campus style development utilizing Central Business District Development standards (increased lot coverage and maximum building height, reduced setbacks and parking requirements, and reduced lot size minimums). (VICINITY: SW 15th Ave. & S. Harrison St.; APPLICANT/S: Playa Design Studio for First Baptist Church, Baptist Community Services, & Central Church of Christ)]

YES. ITEM 4C IS CASE 2026-19-Z, AND THIS ONE IS THE REZONING OF A NUMBER OF BLOCKS THAT ARE WITHIN PLEMONS ADDITION.

THEY ARE LISTED IN THE IT'S A QUITE A LONG CAPTION, SO I'LL KIND OF CUT DOWN ON THAT FOR THE PURPOSE OF TIME, BUT IT'S A NUMBER OF BLOCKS WITHIN PLEMONS ADDITION LOCATED HERE IN DOWNTOWN IN POTTER COUNTY, TEXAS, IN THE VICINITY OF SOUTHWEST 15TH AVENUE AND HARRISON STREET.

AND THEY ARE PROPOSING TO REZONE THOSE PROPERTIES PLUS ONE HALF OF ALL BOUNTY STREETS, ALLEYS AND PUBLIC WAYS TO REZONE FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 130 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 120 A AND MULTIPLE FAMILY DISTRICT TWO TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR CAMPUS STYLE DEVELOPMENT UTILIZING CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, WHICH INCLUDE INCREASED LOT COVERAGE AND MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT, REDUCED SETBACKS AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS, AND REDUCE LOT SIZE MINIMUMS. AND THE APPLICANT FOR THIS REQUEST IS A PLAYA DESIGN STUDIOS FOR FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH BAPTIST COMMUNITY SERVICES AND THE CENTRAL CHURCH OF CHRIST. AND ON YOUR SCREEN THERE IS THE MAP OF THE APPROXIMATELY 29 ACRES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS REQUEST.

[00:15:03]

AND GENERALLY, THIS IS THE PROPERTIES AND THOSE CAMPUSES THAT ARE SOUTHEAST OF THE PARK, THE CITY PARK THERE.

THIS CASE WITH THE CITY PLAN 2045. THIS PROPERTY IS A MIX OF ITEMS. IT IS NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE AND NEIGHBORHOOD LOW.

SO WITH THAT THIS CASE WAS ORIGINALLY INITIATED AFTER A DISCUSSION WITH PLAYA DESIGN STUDIOS FOR AN EXPANSION PROJECT FOR BAPTIST COMMUNITY SERVICES. THEY'RE WANTING TO BUILD ESSENTIALLY A RECREATIONAL ROOM FOR ONE OF THEIR FACILITIES THERE ON THEIR CAMPUS.

AND DESPITE THAT CAMPUS BEING SPREAD THROUGHOUT SEVERAL CITY BLOCKS WITHIN THAT AREA AND OF SIMILAR STYLE SEEN WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT THAT ADDITION WAS GOING TO FACE DIFFICULTIES BECAUSE OF SETBACK REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THAT AREA WITH THOSE GIVEN ZONING DISTRICTS AND WITHIN MULTIPLE FAMILY DISTRICT TWO. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE CAMPUS STYLE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THIS PORTION OF DOWNTOWN THAT CONTAINS VARIOUS ADDITIONS AND STRUCTURES THAT WERE BUILT OVER MULTIPLE DECADES AND IN SOME CASES WOULDN'T COMPLY WITH TODAY'S ZONING REGULATIONS.

THE APPLICANT WANTED TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT THAT WOULD LARGELY ADOPT THE SAME REGULATIONS AS THOSE FOUND IN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

GIVEN THAT THIS AREA NEIGHBORS OF CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND IS ESSENTIALLY BUILT VERY SIMILAR TO THE STRUCTURES AND OTHER TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT SEEN IN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS THAT RELIGIOUS CAMPUS PORTION OF DOWNTOWN.

SO IT REALLY SHARES A LOT OF THE SAME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS WITH WHAT YOU SEE IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ALREADY.

AND IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS REQUEST AS COMPREHENSIVE AS POSSIBLE STAFF GUIDED THE APPLICANT TO EXPLORE THE ARE THE POSSIBILITIES OF GETTING SOME OF THE OTHER NEIGHBORING CAMPUSES TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS APPLICATION FOR THIS CHANGE.

AND WITH THAT, CENTRAL CHURCH OF CHRIST AND FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OPTED TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL.

REGARDING THE USES OF THE PROPERTY THE ALLOWED LAND USES ARE LARGELY REMAINING INTACT AND CONSISTENT WITH THE ORIGINAL ZONING FOR THIS AREA, WHICH IS PRIMARILY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 130, WHICH ALLOWS FOR GENERAL RETAIL AS LAND USES AND UTILIZES LIKE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT FOR LOT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

THE EXCEPTION TO THIS AREA WITH THAT ON THIS MAP, I'LL KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH THIS HERE.

THOSE TWO PROPERTIES ARE IN RED ARE NOT IN WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE REQUEST.

THE AREA WITHIN BLUE IS PRIMARILY WITHIN PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 30 AS IT EXISTS TODAY.

SO THOSE AREAS WOULD BE THE AREAS THAT WOULD HAVE GENERAL RETAIL AS ALLOWED LAND USES.

AND WE TALKED TO THE APPLICANT ABOUT THIS, THOSE PROPERTIES IN YELLOW THAT ARE WITHIN THE BOUNDARY, WE WANTED TO KEEP THE ALLOWED USES FOR THOSE AS THOSE ALLOWED WITHIN MULTIPLE FAMILY DISTRICT TWO, AND AS TO PROTECT THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO THE WEST AND THE PARK FROM FURTHER ENCROACHMENT OF RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL TYPE LAND USES ON THOSE AREAS.

SO WE KIND OF WANTED TO ESTABLISH A BUFFER WITH THIS REQUEST AS WELL.

THOSE PROPERTIES WILL GET TO UTILIZE THOSE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, BUT THEY'LL STILL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH MF2 LAND USES.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE APPLICANT WAS AGREEABLE TO, GIVEN THAT THE HOW THOSE PROPERTIES ARE BEING USED TODAY BY THE CHURCH AND BAPTIST COMMUNITY SERVICES FIT WITHIN THAT ZONING DISTRICT.

REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS BEING SOUGHT, THE APPLICANT AND STAFF AGREED THAT THE AREA FEATURES THESE LARGE RELIGIOUS CAMPUSES THAT FEATURE ELEMENTS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE FOUND WITHIN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

THE SITES WITHIN THE BUILD WITHIN THE BOUNDARY HAVE BEEN BUILT OUT OVER MANY DECADES AND FEATURE BUILDINGS UP TO TEN STORY'S HIGH.

IN INSTANCES AND IN OTHER INSTANCES, BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED AT THE PROPERTY LINE WITH HIGH LIGHT LOT COVERAGES AND REDUCED PARKING TO CREATE A CONCISE AND UNIFORM STANDARDS FOR ADDITIONS AND UPGRADES TO THESE SITES WITHIN THIS CAMPUS AREA.

THE FOLLOWING IS PROPOSED. MAX LOT COVERAGE 100% UNLIMITED BUILDING HEIGHT ZERO FOOT SETBACKS AS A BASELINE WHICH FIRE SEPARATION AND BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS STILL APPLY. PARKING REGULATIONS WOULD MIMIC THOSE IN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

NO LOT SIZE MINIMUMS AND STANDARDS NOT SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT SHALL COMPLY WITH THE PROPERTY'S PRIOR ZONING DESIGNATION.

SO ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE ADOPTING ESSENTIALLY THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THIS CAMPUS AREA IS WHAT IS PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT, IF APPROVED. THE ABOVE STANDARDS WOULD ALSO LARGELY FIT THE BUILT CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE SITES AS THEY EXIST TODAY.

IN THE OPINION OF STAFF AND ADDITIONALLY COMPLEMENT THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DOWNTOWN AMARILLO URBAN DESIGN STANDARDS THAT APPLY TO THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN THIS REQUEST. IN REVIEWING THE CITY PLAN AND RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT PLACE TYPES PER THE PLACE TYPE MAP,

[00:20:02]

THE REQUEST WOULD CONFORM WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE CATEGORY AND WOULD ALSO REINFORCE THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD LOW CATEGORY TO THE WEST BY MAINTAINING THE ALLOWED LAND USES OF THOSE AND MULTIPLE FAMILY DISTRICT TWO FOR THE NOTED PROPERTIES ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE REQUEST.

AND THAT TRANSITION WILL HELP PROTECT THOSE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND AREAS TO THE WEST OF THIS PROPERTY.

WHILE SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS NEIGHBORHOOD LOW ARE LOCATED WITHIN THIS BOUNDARY, GIVEN HOW THEY ARE DEVELOPED TODAY AND CONSIDERING THE DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS IN THE AREA, A DEVIATION FROM THOSE LOTS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE WHEN CONSIDERING THE REQUEST COMPREHENSIVELY.

THE REQUEST ALSO WOULD EXPAND THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL MIXED USE OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE PROPERTIES UNDER CONSIDERATION AND MEET THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE CATEGORY. WITH THE PROPERTY BEING BOUNDED ON THE SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST 15TH AVENUE STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE BOUNDS SET BY THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT CREATE A UNIFORM, CAMPUS STYLE DEVELOPMENT AREA THAT FITS THE BUILT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AREA WHILE UTILIZING SOUTHWEST 15TH AVENUE AS A SOUTHERN BUFFER.

GIVEN THAT DEVELOPMENT TRANSITIONS TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THE FURTHER SOUTH YOU GO FROM THIS AREA.

ADDITIONALLY, IT IS NOTED THAT THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY FRONT 15TH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET ARE INSTITUTIONAL OR RETAIL IN NATURE, AND PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE ZONING AND LAND USE BUFFER BETWEEN THE CAMPUS AREA UNDER CONSIDERATION AND THE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT FURTHER SOUTH.

GIVEN THE ABOVE FACTORS AND CONSIDERING THE DRAFT SITE PLAN, CITY STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE PROPOSAL WOULD BRING UNIFORM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THIS AREA THAT FIT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND WOULD BE IN CHARACTER WITH THE AREA.

THE PROPOSAL WOULD ALSO GIVE CLARITY TO THOSE LOOKING TO EXECUTE PROSPECTIVE PROJECTS IN THE AREA AND THE CITY STAFF THAT WILL BE REVIEWING THEM.

ADDITIONALLY, THE REQUEST WOULD REINFORCE ZONING AND LAND USE TRANSITIONS THAT ARE IDEAL FOR THE AREA IN THE OPINION OF STAFF.

REGARDING PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. WE HAVE RECEIVED ONE COMMENT THAT WAS A GENERAL INQUIRY AS OF THE REPORT TODAY.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL TURN THIS OVER TO QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION.

OKAY. THANK YOU BRADY. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE.

COMMISSIONERS ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A QUESTION AND ALSO A COMMENT.

MY QUESTION IS, WILL THE VARIANCES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN OFFERED THROUGH DOWNTOWN DESIGN STANDARDS APPLY TO THESE, OR WILL THEY NEED TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AS WELL IF THIS IS APPROVED? THIS REQUEST WOULD NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON PAST OR FUTURE [INAUDIBLE] RELATED REQUIREMENTS THAT'S A SEPARATE PROCESS OUTSIDE OF THIS. SO THIS WOULD NOT HAVE A BEARING ON THOSE ITEMS. OKAY. THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM. THE COMMENT I'D LIKE TO MAKE IS I THINK THIS IS KIND OF A UNIQUE APPROACH, AND I'D LIKE TO COMPLIMENT STAFF ON GETTING ALL THAT WORK DONE AND COMING UP WITH THIS APPROACH BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOING TO HELP EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND BETTER AND HELP THOSE INVESTORS MAKE BETTER PLANNING. SO THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR THAT.

NO PROBLEM. AND I'LL SAY THAT THE APPLICANTS ON THIS ONE WERE REALLY DILIGENT WITH WORKING WITH US AS WELL ON COMING UP.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH ON THIS ONE, SO I'LL SAY THAT THE APPLICANTS ALSO WERE VERY HELPFUL IN KIND OF WORKING WITH STAFF ON THIS ONE. SO APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK THOUGH. I JUST GOT ONE COMMENT.

SO THAT LITTLE PINK BUILDING ON THE CORNER OF JACKSON AND 12TH, IT'S JUST NOT INVOLVED WITH THIS.

SO THEY CAN STILL DO ANYTHING IN THEIR GENERAL RETAIL, EVEN THOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T WANT RETAIL THERE.

YEAH. THAT'S YES YOU'RE CORRECT. THIS REQUEST FOR THOSE PROPERTIES IN RED THAT WAS JUST ADDED AS CLARITY FOR THIS DRAWING.

JUST BECAUSE THOSE BLOCKS, THE ENTIRETY OF THE REST OF THEM ARE WITHIN THE REQUEST.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO REALLY ILLUSTRATE THAT THOSE PROPERTIES WERE NOT INCLUDED.

SO THIS REQUEST WOULD NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT OR BEARING ON THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS.

SO WE GOT THEM RESTRICTED TO MF2. BUT IF THEY DIDN'T DO THIS THEY COULD THAT WHOLE THING COULD BE GENERAL RETAIL.

CORRECT. SO THE PROPERTY IN RED UP THERE AT THE FAR CORNER, THEY ARE CURRENTLY ZONED MF2 TODAY.

SO ESSENTIALLY THEY WOULD BE. AND THEN THE SO THE ONE AT THE NORTHWEST IS MF2 AND THE ONE AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, THE SOUTHEAST RED SQUARE THERE. THAT'S ACTUALLY THE SANTA FE CREDIT UNION.

SO THEY ARE WITHIN THAT PD 130 BOUNDARY ALREADY TODAY.

SO THEY ALREADY THAT PROPERTY IN PARTICULAR ALREADY ENJOYS THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED IN GR.

AND THAT MF2 PROPERTY WOULD JUST BE LIMITED TO THOSE USES ALLOWED IN MF2.

THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. OKAY.

THANK YOU. CINDI, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

[00:25:01]

THANK YOU, JOSH. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAY AYE.

AYE. MOTION APPROVED. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 4D. YES.

[4.D. Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning 2026-143-Z Rezoning of a 13.38-acre tract of unplatted land, located in Section 63, Block 9, B.S.& F. Survey, Randall County, Texas, plus one-half of all bounding streets, alleys, and public ways, to change from Agricultural District to Residential District 3. (VICINITY: Town Square Blvd. & Battery St.; APPLICANT/S: Furman Land Surveyors, Inc. for P Dub Land Holdings, LTD)]

ITEM 4D IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF REZONING 2026-143-Z.

THIS IS THE REZONING OF A 13.38 ACRE TRACT OF UNPLATTED LAND.

THIS IS LOCATED IN RANDALL COUNTY, TEXAS, IN THE VICINITY OF TOWN SQUARE BOULEVARD AND BATTERY STREET.

THE APPLICANT IS FURMAN LAND SURVEYORS, INC. FOR PUBLIC LAND HOLDINGS LIMITED, AND THEY ARE PROPOSING TO REZONE FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT THREE.

AND THIS IS PROPOSED TO BE THE NEXT UNIT THAT THIS DEVELOPER WANTS TO CONSTRUCT FOR THE TOWN SQUARE SUBDIVISION, SPECIFICALLY SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES. WE WILL NOTE THAT THE CITY PLAN PLACE TYPE FOR THIS PROPERTY IS NEIGHBORHOOD LOW, SO THE REQUEST WOULD FIT WELL WITHIN THAT. AND THE PROPOSED REQUEST WOULD CONFORM WITH THE APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAN THAT IS ON FILE FOR THE TOWN SQUARE SUBDIVISION. SO NO ISSUES THERE. AND THIS WOULD REPRESENT A LOGICAL CONTINUATION OF THE ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THAT WE ARE SEEING OUT THERE IN TOWN SQUARE, AND ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT STAFF HAS REVIEWED FOR THAT PRELIMINARY PLAN AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THAT AREA.

AND WITH THAT PUBLIC COMMENT, WE HAVE RECEIVED ONE COMMENT THAT WAS A GENERAL INQUIRY FOR THIS ITEM.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY.

THANK YOU. BRADY, IS THERE ANYBODY IN OUR AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? IS ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM.

RIGHT. SEEING NONE COMMISSIONERS ANY COMMENTS? WE JUST HAD A COUPLE KIND OF STRANGE REASONS.

THIS ONE SEEMS A LITTLE TOO SIMPLE. WHAT'S THE CATCH? WE HAVEN'T SEEN A CATCH, IF THERE IS ONE. SO THIS ONE, I THINK IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THIS? I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE. THE STAFF RECOMMENDS. THANK YOU.

JOSH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. THANK YOU LANDON.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAY AYE.

AYE. MOTION APPROVED. ITEM 4E. YES. 4E IS PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF REZONING 2026-144-Z.

[4.E. Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning 2026-144-Z Rezoning of Lots 27B, 27C, and 27D, Block 2, Coulter Acres Unit No. 5, an addition to the City of Amarillo, in Section 38, Block 9, B.S.& F. Survey, Randall County, Texas, plus one half of all bounding streets, alleys, and public ways, to change from Residential District 1 and Office District 2 to General Retail District. (VICINITY: SW 77th Ave. & Coulter St.; APPLICANT/S: Greg Farber for The Reserve Offices LLC)]

AND THIS IS REZONING OF LOTS 27B, 27C AND 27D BLOCK TWO, COULTER ACRES, UNIT FIVE.

THIS IS IN RANDALL COUNTY, TEXAS, IN THE VICINITY OF SOUTHWEST 77TH AVENUE AND COULTER STREET.

THE APPLICANT IS GREG FARBER FOR THE RESERVE OFFICES LLC, AND THEY ARE PROPOSING TO REZONE FROM RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ONE AND OFFICE DISTRICT TWO, THE GENERAL RETAIL DISTRICT, AND THEY ARE REQUESTING THIS CHANGE IN ZONING TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY OF A GENERAL RETAIL LAND USES.

AT THIS TIME, EXACT DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED.

THE CITY PLAN PLACE TYPE FOR THE PROPERTY IS IDENTIFIED AS BEING THE RESERVE CATEGORY, AND ALSO THE LOT THAT CURRENTLY CONTAINS A HOME ON IT IS IDENTIFIED AS BEING NEIGHBORHOOD LOW. AND ON THAT MAP THERE JUST FOR THE COULTER STREET CORRIDOR THERE.

THEIR PROPERTY IS BOXED IN RED JUST TO GIVE YOU ALL A LARGER SCOPE OF CONTEXT FOR THIS AREA OF COULTER STREET.

AS WE GO INTO THE ANALYSIS HERE. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF AMARILLO ALONG COULTER STREET BETWEEN ARDEN ROAD AND HOLLYWOOD ROAD. THE PROPERTY DOES CONTAIN TWO UNDEVELOPED TRACKS CURRENTLY, IN ADDITION TO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME THAT THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO DEMOLISH IF THIS REQUEST IS APPROVED. THEY RECENTLY DID ACQUIRE THAT PROPERTY PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THIS REQUEST.

THE CITY LIMITS OF AMARILLO ARE LOCATED APPROXIMATELY A 10TH OF A MILE TO 2/10 OF A MILE TO THE WEST, BECAUSE IT KIND OF JOGS OUT THERE FOR THAT CHURCH THAT'S LOCATED DIRECTLY WEST OF THE PROPERTY ALONG 77TH.

SO IT IS LOCATED WITHIN FAIRLY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE CITY LIMITS AND THE AREA ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF COULTER.

OPPOSITE OF THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED GENERAL RETAIL DISTRICT.

OVER TIME, THE VACANT LAND WITHIN THIS AREA BETWEEN HOLLYWOOD AND ARDEN HAS BEEN DEVELOPED OR ZONED WITH RETAIL USES AS TIME HAS GONE FORWARD.

I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME CASES IN RECENT YEARS THERE TO THE NORTH AROUND THE INTERSECTION OF BARTON ROAD ALONG WITH THAT ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OCCURRED THERE.
